The following photos were taken by our teacher, Mrs C except for the platypus, which is courtesy of www.australiananimals.com. On our new Australia page, we will be writing about some of the amazing things that live in our country. Stay tuned!

Hi Mrs.C oh fearless leader, I really like this slide show it looks great! Are these the photos you took at that sanctuary you went to? Maybe we could do a slide like this or that paper estimation activity, we could a take photo of each of us holding up our estimations then put them in a slide!
From Mrs C: great ideas Freya. I thought we could get you guys to do a VoiceThread on the sanctuary pictures (yes, they’re the ones I took there) where you tell information about each animal. Sharing our paper estimations is a good idea too – more interesting than the video?

Hey Mrs C
Pina here i love animals and this slide show is great I wonder how exiting it was for u?
From Mrs C: Hi Pina. I love looking at animals – the zoo is one of my favorite places. It was exciting seeing all the animals up close at the Healesville Sanctuary. I really enjoyed looking at the platypus too, but it was dark in that exhibit so my photos didn’t come out well.

Hi Mrs.C it’s Freya, I went looking and I have found out what a googol is! It’s 10 to the power of 100 and it has 100 zeroes on the end!! The official name is duotrigintillion. This is it:
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
How colossal?

Well found, Freya! Now find out what a googolplex is – you can have a googol of house points if you can write out the long version of it by hand!
I think these big number investigations would make an interesting blog post – want to take that task on, Freya? You can post it yourself to our class blog using your edublogs username and password, and you could copy the post to your own blog too, if you wanted to.

Where’s your sense of adventure, Freya?:-)
Are you going to do that post on big numbers? Here’s a good site that might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers. I like your avatar – looks good.

Mrs C some platypuss would be good to put into your Australian animal collection, a lot of Europeans we meet think I am pulling there legs when I try to describe one.

Hi Mrs C,
The photos of the animals are great. Holland is going well in the soccer and they won against Italy last week so all the streets here are covered in orange flags and streamers and Dutch flags. Everyone is even eating orange food such as orange cheese, juice, marshmallows M&Ms and heaps more. Its a bit crazy really.
From Mrs C: Sounds great Cointha – as you know, Holland is my second favorite country after Australia! So, where are you and what are you up to now?
