Scavengers and Settlers

‘On Wednesday the 7th October, 3P and 3W went to the Library to learn more about Scavengers and Settlers.  The first activity was we had to go upstairs and we learned about stones called fossils.  The next activity was we had to draw a picture to go with a caption.  The last activity was the hunt for cavemen things.  Bethany and I found them all.  While we was waiting for the others we read a book.  Mine was “The boy who fell down exit 43”.  We had lots of fun.’
