Giraffe poem

We made up our own giraffe poem, based around our poem of the week - Elephants. Here it is!

Giraffes!

Long rough tongues
Tall thin legs
Long length neck
Spotty smooth skin
Knobby knees
Huge hard hooves
Gangly giraffe
Could I learn from you?

Cameron's Fable

We are learning to narrate.
We have written our own fable. Here is one of them. Thanks Cameron for sharing.
Can you work out the moral or message?


One extremely foggy night a mother kiwi was protecting her eggs, when suddenly she heard something in the bus. She went closer to investigate but she did not realise that it came from teh other side of the bush!

Then suddenly out popped a possum. It grabbed one of the kiwis eggs as fast as a bolt of lightning! The chase was on!

Kiwi quickly turned just in time to see the possum disappear into the bush. Kiwi zipped into the bush hot on possum's tail! Finally the possum was cornered.

"Give back my baby!" said the Kiwi.
"You can have if if you win a death race!" said the Possum.
"How do I now you won't eat the egg?" asked the Kiwi.
"We will both leave the eggs here," said the Possum.
"OK, You're on!" shouted the Kiwi.

The next day Kiwi and Possum met up. Possum said " Ok, first we will submarine to the bottom of Marinas trench, and then we will surface. Next we will go to the beach. Then we will dune buggy up a ramp, through a firey hoop and return to the start."

"Ok,' answered the Kiwil

Finally it was time to start the race.
"All contestants to the start," said the announcer. But what Kiwi didn't realise was that the possum had drilled a hole into the Kiwis sub. But the possum got into the wrong sub! Halfway to the marinas trench Possums sub sank. "Curse you Kiwi!" were his last words.
"I guess I win the race," smiled Kiwi.

When Kiwi got to the shore Kiwi got her eggs back.

The moral: Don't do bad deeds - they do you no good.

Fables

We have been reading The Hare and the Tortoise, and The Boy who cried Wolf.

We then had to either compare and contrast, retell the main points or look at it from another point of view. Here is some of our work.
