The weird and funny "HIGH DIVING GIRAFFES"

All of a sudden doors open in front of me. Giraffes keep coming out beside me. We walk for a bit then I decide to look at that weird thing on the wall. I sniff and flap my ears while I stick my tongue out. I walk up these circle stairs until suddenly we come to a stop. I see another giraffe hanging upside down from this weird machine. “What?!” I say to myself in my head as I watch a giraffe run up to the one hanging and then he flips into the cold water. It's my turn now I am the last one to go. I flip and then I dive. “It wasn't that bad!!” I say to myself. Then we get a drink of water from the same pool we dived in “Slurp Slurp”. Then we heard a whistle and had to run back to our mini homes “I wanna do that again” I said.


While we were in lock down there was a korimako site that we had to get some work off to do in this break. I chose to watch a video of giraffes diving off a diving board then I did it like I was the giraffe/ I am in his eyes. I think this was an easy task. Have you ever watched high diving giraffes? Did you like it?

The weird and unusual "HIGH DIVING GIRAFFES"


This is a weird animated film about giraffes diving from a diving board. I watched a video before I started to create my slide which made it easier to write about. I also took a photo of one of them doing a weird pose. Have you ever seen a animal diving off a diving board? Would you dive with them?

The Old Railroad Comes Alive


While we were in lock down because of "Corona virus" we had to do some school work at home I did this writing with a story starter from one of my teachers. I think the story stater made it easier to write. I took a picture of a really badly drawn train. Have you ever written with a story starter? Did it make your writing easier?

Maori Warriors From A Very Adventurous book


In literacy we had to read a book on epic called Maori Warriors. Then we had to make a slide with some questions from the teacher FYI Mr Sutherland. I really enjoyed the part where it explained about the chief in the book! I got all my information from the book. Have you read Maori Warriors? Did you enjoy it?

My Amazing Ancestors From The Ireland

This is a work in progress. After lunch sometimes we do something called Inquiry. Our Inquiry is about culture and about our ancestors.

My colourful and detailed L for Lotus!!!

For art we could choose a style of funky portraits, zen tangle letters or koru's I chose zen tangle letters this is the finished piece of artwork! I did this on a piece of paper that was started with a plain letter L. I got my ideas on the letter L from other peoples art that they had already finished. While I was doing this I thought it was really fun and that I would love to do it again! Have you ever done zen tangle letters? Did you enjoy doing it?

The amazing words of the unknown



In literacy we had to read a book called Peru on epic. Then we had to get a sheet from the teacher and find 4 words in the book that we didn't know the meaning of, once we had our words we had to find the meaning of those words and put it into our own words, draw a picture of the meaning, find words that had a similar meaning and we had to put the word into a sentence to make sure we actually know what it means. Have you ever read Peru? Did you already know what any of these words meant?
