Our NZ Habitat Dioramas

This term we have been learning about NZ habitats. We chose one and designed a diorama showing what we would find in each. Here are the pictures of our dioramas.


Performing Arts Festival

Last week a group of children from LZ19 participated in the Performing arts festival. We had two night shows and a matinee for some local schools.  It was great fun and an opportunity for the children to show off their talents in the choir, Korean and Chinese dances, line dancing and lots more.  Here are some of our photos.

Habitat Poems

We have been learning about New Zealand's natural habitats. We wrote some acostic poems about them.

Fresh air surrounding you
Over there are our beautiful native birds
Rivers for the birds to bath in and drink from
Each bird can safely lay their eggs
Safely the eggs crack
Tourists watch and take pictures of the lovely birds.

By Akira.

Twirling water with pebbles
Hitting the sand for food
Eating krill for lunch

Crying, I can see a little blue penguin
Opening the new coast at the zoo
Ate a huge lunch for a big journey
Swimming with a cute seal
Tweeting birds, you can hear

By Faadhil.

High country, there are lots of Keas
In the high country there are blue ducks and geekos
Geekos hide under rocks
High country is an elevated land

Calling out for fun
Only the parrot, Kea lived there
Uses rocks for homes
New Zealand's high country
The high country is in the south island
Rocks and shingle
Your High Country!

By Ariel.

Night is a place of darkness
I love night
Giant dark sky
Hundreds of lights and rock
The best place for a kiwi

By Bahar
