Jonah Wonderopolis activity

Today for reading my class (TWP 4) did an activity called the Wonderopolis activity. What we had to do was go to Wonderopolis (Click Wonderopolis for the link) then we had to pick a story, the story that I picked was, What are Rodeos? After that I took the wonder of the day and a picture then I put it on my document. Straight after I did that I wrote down the question and my wonder words in Wonderopolis. After that I read the story and wrote down the facts I learnt.

Something I found hard about this activity was surprisingly nothing and I found everything easy, but here is my activity below.

Jonah Bookmarks

Today in Reading/Art Te Wairua Pakiki 4 made bookmarks for our books, this was really fun to do but the only bad thing was it made to much mess.

My friends and I wanted to make a bookmark based on a tv show named Cobra Kai the main animal is is a cobra.

When I was done I forgot to glue the tongue I liked to do this and here is mine down below.
