The Shark's Awesome Poems

Today the sharks reading group read a poem from their junior journal called 'Down on the Farm'.
They then had a go at writing their own version of the poem. They tried really hard to use rhyming words and the correct poem structure. They did a really good job!
They published their poems on pic collage. 
Have a read of their awesome poems...

Takapu

Today the Starfish read an article about the takapu. 
They then had to identify some of the key points from the text and create a pic collage sharing their learning. 
Their pic collage needed to include a title, three photos, five facts about the takapu, their name and a photo of themselves. They also needed to make sure that their pic collage was visually appealing.  
They did a terrific job!
