Our Class Metaphor

Oh the places we'll go
We'll be footsy with our virtues and choose the right street.

What is a metaphor?
Is a way of explaining how we are going to show our virtues.

Why do have one?
so we can stick to the metaphor, and we can walk down the right street.

Check Out the Water Spouts happening in Auckland at the moment!  Very Cool!  We were unsure what they were to start with but with a bit of inquiry we found out that:
- They are tornados that form over water
- They are really powerful
- When they go on land, they dump all the water they sucked up all at once!
Check out this link for the full article.  Water Spouts

We noticed this Whale Shark in the newspaper.  Check out how huge it is!  Its longer than our classroom and weigh more than 7 cars!
