We began by looking at all the great acrostics we had written at home, after Donavan visited our school yesterday. I put as many as I could fit onto the board. Well done all those who thought of their own acrostics.
Next we read a non-fiction passage about the fairy penguin, a small species of penguin that lives in Australasia. (No, I have not spelled Australia wrongly.

We also learned that we must link our answers to the text, not just make them up out of our heads. We need to find key words in the text to help us answer each question.
There were some very good answers, showing that we had read and thought carefully. Well done, 4H!
