This term we learned about famous NZ people, and we learnt about a New Zealand author, Lynley Dodd.
Here are the questions that we asked:
WHO is Lynley Dodd?
WHAT are her books about?
WHEN did she start writing books?
WHERE was she born and WHERE she is now?
WHY did she decided to be an author illustrator?
We were then separated into groups for each Lynley Dodd character.There was Scarface claw, the fiercest of all and Schnizel Von Krumm with a very low tum.There was also Zachary Quack who never looks back.There was also Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary. Hairy Maclary is the most famous Lynley Dodd character, and I was in the Slinky Malinki group.Lastly, there was the group at the start and the group at the end.The group at the start was in charge of doing the introduction and the group at the end was in charge of the ending.
My group was in charge of Slinky Malinki. Me and the group decided to have our group name”The Slinkies.”So anyways, the lines for us on the assembly were:
Then slinking and sneaking with eyes green and sly,
Comes Slinky Malinki who loves to climb high.
A mischievous cat with a purr and prowl,
Always up to no good with a soft silent howl.
We also made actions to show to the audience and here they are:
So first we swayed our body from side to side except for our heads like we were sneaking up on something then on the Eyes green and sly part we put our index finger on our forehead and the made it go down onto our jawline.Then we made our hands like a T-Rex’s hands and made our legs go like people sneaking up on people in cartoons only that our feet were slower.Then after that we jumped high on the who loves to climb high part because we couldn’t climb on the stage.After that we used our thumbs and index fingers to rib our chins.Then, we used our fingers to make “whiskers.”Later, we wagged our fingers for the Always up to no good part.Lastly, we swung our arms forward for the Soft silent howl.
