This week for another home learning challenge, Haylee, Victoria, Sakina, Florence and I decided to do the Sky Tower activities. For the first activity, we wrote a list of 5 facts about the Sky Tower, using our smart searching skills. For our second activity, we created a new mascot for the Sky Tower and gave an explanation about why we chose them. For our last activity, we chose an activity we could do at the Sky Tower and wrote down why we chose it, what it is and how much it would cost to do that activity.

• A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground. 
• Giraffes only need to drink once every few days.
