Allanah's Appleby Showcase
- Chunky Chalks
This week's podcast was made to describe how we made chalk. The instructions are in New Zealand School Journal Pt 2 No 4 2000. School Journals are a wonderful resource for reading for NZ children. It was a bit of a competition between two groups to see who could manage their group better to produce a clear well constructed audio file. 2.4 MB 1 minute

These were teacher assigned projects, probably with the purpose of designing a project based learning experience and a degree of hands-on learning.

I honestly do not recall much about these large lizards, but I do re
