Mysterious Animal Sighted in Dunsborough!

I'm sure by now your children have come home with news of a mysterious animal sighted in Dunsborough. We knew little about this animal but did find out that the man - Greg Normandy sighted an animal that was the size of a dog with orange and white stripes.

See below the newspaper article from the Margaret River Region News  




The children have been buzzing with excitement as yesterday the mystery animal made an appearance in the courtyard. Luckily we had some photographers take some photos of the evidence. We have also been recording our observations on our classroom sightings chart. 





We then discovered that out in the wild, there are a number of hybrid animals and that have been given new names such as:

- The Liger (Lion/Tiger)
- The Carma (Camel/Llama)
- The Zebroid (Zebra/Horse or Donkey) 

Below is a link to a short video about hybrids that we watched:

Luckily, Miss Prowse and I sourced some very important information from National Geographic, which lead to information about a strange animal, called the Trabbit! 

Have a read of the information below:





This is the start of our Talk for Write unit into information reports! Get ready for some very creative writing...and animals! 

Thanks for all of your support ;)
