G is for Guinea pig and Gorilla

We read a book called Guinea Pig Grass.

Mrs Bond brought a guinea pig to school. We had turns feeding it grass. Guinea pigs eat very fast!

We saw a video of a family of mountain Gorillas. We found out that:

• they make a grunting sound to let other gorillas know when they are visiting
• gorillas are very big but they are gentle with their family
• they eat bamboo and mountain celery
• the big, male gorilla is a silverback
• the young gorillas play and wrestle just like we do
• humans have to be careful not to spread diseases to the gorillas

Zain is telling some facts about gorillas for his seesaw.
