This Term we learned about Lynley Dodd.

We each had a group of four 4️⃣ and we had to say and do actions for a small poem.

My group had Olivia, Cassandra, Isla and I.

My group had to do  a little poem about Zachary Quack, Isla and Olivia read the poem and Cassandra and I did the actions ( we created the actions from scratch)

The little poem Olivia and Isla read was: And who’s this small friend with a splash and a quack? It’s Zachary Quack who never looks back, a duckling so tiny with feathers so bright. Splashing and dashing with all of his might.

We did not create this poem, our lovely teacher Mrs. Barroman made it from AI.

The whole of Tui 4 had a group to work with.

We learned a lot this term!
