WANANGA CLASS DISPLAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 In Br wananga we have our own class display of a tree with all our custom leaves we drew on it. It signifies all our personalities, and we all worked on it together.

It includes all the leaves we drew, a few Riroriro birds for our Kahui, and a few drawn and coloured branches as well as a coloured trunk. 

My role in the tree was making some leaves to stick on it, and I am pretty happy with how it looks. 

I enjoyed being able to be myself and be creative while drawing the leaves. I also liked how we did it all together. #WeAreHornby #WeStandAsOne

 Emperor Penguins!

This week in reading my group has been learning about penguins, but specifically the Emperor Penguin. On Monday, we read a chapter of a school journal called Fantastic Penguins, and we did a KWL on penguins. Yesterday (Wednesday 2nd December) we started doing a DLO on Emperor Penguins, and mine was a google slideshow containing different parts of info on them. Today, we are finishing and blogging our DLO, which is where I am now. After that, we have to complete the learn part of our KWL, and do a Penguin origami. I'm quite looking forward to that.
