Giraffes

This week we have been learning all about Giraffes. We started by reading the story Giraffes Can't Dance.  Then we created some art inspired by the illustrations in the book.  Miss Dowd taught us all how to draw a dancing giraffe and then we painted a night background.

Then we wrote about what the problem and the solution was in the story.

His friends laughed at him
He listend to a different song

His friends laughed at him 'cause he can not dance
When he listened to a different song and he began to dance

As a class we came up with lots of words that describe giraffes. We used the words and wrote our own giraffes poems.

With the help of our grade 4/5 buddies we created a Giraffe Fact Page in Comic Life.
