Running like Frill Necked Lizards

Last week, Jimmy brought in a little model animal. It was a frill-necked lizard.  They live in Australia. We talked for a long time about these lizards, why they have a big frill around their necks, why they are coloured the way they are... lots of things! We also looked at a neat video clip of a frill necked lizard running on youtube.

We thought it was SO FUNNY. When we went outside, we ran like frill-necked lizards.  It also was SO FUNNY!

One of our Weka students was so taken with the learning about the frill-necked lizard that he went home an made a frill!  I have taken a photo and will upload this week. AWESOME!

Here are some pics of us running like lizards... I wish I had taken video instead!
