Non-fiction Reading

This week we have all been reading some non-fiction texts.  We each recorded some facts that we had learnt from the book and then used those to make a picCollege on the iPads (it was our first time!). We also wrote about what we had learnt and what our opinion was on the topic.  Here is one from each group:

Birds - By Olivia

I love birds because they are my favourite. Birds fly and birds walk. I love flamingos.  Some birds are yellow. Some birds are red.  Birds have wings. Birds have a beak.

Giraffes - By Max

A giraffe bends down to drink water.  Giraffes are tall.  Giraffes can't climb.  Giraffes are amazing animals to look at.

Giant Squid - By Jackson

Giant squid can grow almost 18 metres.  Their eyes can grow just about as big as a person's head.  Their beads are big too.  I don't like squid because they are slimy. 

Giraffes - By Isabella

Giraffes have a long neck.  Giraffes are 6 metres tall.  Giraffes can run 56 kilometres and hour.  Baby giraffes are called a calf.  I like giraffes because they have a long neck and cool colours.

Looking After Rock Pools - By Zach

When the tide comes in to rock pools it brings in plankton and fresh water, to keep animals happy.  It is cool in rock pools because I like all of the animals.
