Kakapo's Lockdown Learning
Kakapo has been really busy during this lockdown. We have been doing lots of learning while having fun in our Zoom meetings. Please have a look at some of the awesome work everyone has been doing for the different curriculum areas.
Nogard visualising activity
WALT create pictures in our minds as we read and think about
what we “see” as we read. We
had to use the following text to draw what a nogard looks like.
What is a nogard?
The nogard is an animal. It has an oval- shaped body. It has a long neck and tail. The top of the neck, back and tail are covered with a row of triangular-shaped plates. The nogard’s head is shaped like a long triangle. It has big eyes and eyebrows that stick out. It also has big nostrils. Its body is covered with scales. The nogard has four short legs. At the end of each leg is a foot with five toes. Each toe has a sharp claw at the end. The nogard has two wings attached to its body. These are located behind the front legs towards the top of its back. Nogards are usually green but change to a deep purple during the winter months.
Here are our creations.
