Welcome back to my blog. This week in reading, we got to pick from more "National Geographic"! We were given 7 books and we had a choice to pick which book we got to read! I chose.... GIRAFFES! I barely knew anything about them except that they are the tallest animal in the world! So learning about them was really fun! Me and my BFF Sapphire helped each other with the tasks, so go check out what she has made! She deserves some credit! We had to do 3 create tasks. Answer questions and you got to pick the other two. I chose write a narrative about an encounter with a giraffe and, Giraffe physical features that help them survive!I hope you enjoy this, and hopefully you learn something new.ENJOY!
Encounter with a Giraffe.
Isla loves animals. She likes studying them and learning new things about them. Her favourite animal would have to be a Giraffe. She is always looking for them if she's in Africa, but she has never had an encounter with one. She has seen one from far away but her camera couldn't capture the shot.
One Sunday morning in Africa, Isla went to go take some photos of animals that were nearby. She saw 7 elephants, 28 zebras, 4 lions, 2 spotted hyenas and 5 ostriches. Luckily for her she got all of her photos clear and one of every animal! She was still disappointed she didn't see a giraffe.
That's when she heard a rustle in the trees.She turned her cheek and there stood a herd of giraffes. Isla was full of joy and excitement but she couldn't scream or they would be frightened away. “Ah, there we go,West African giraffe. Lucky to see em” the African guide whispered to Isla. Isla’s smile got bigger. “Can I go up close to one?” asked Isla. “Eh, you might as well, but be very quiet and slow and careful. They can hear ya know” replied the African guide. Isla’s grin got even bigger and she looked so happy the guide smiled! Isla slowly hopped out of the car. Her camera was in her hand ready to capture the shot. The giraffe looked above Isla but luckily she was too short. She was crawling on her knees. But then she saw a tight thick rope tied around the leg of the giraffe. Then she slowly turned her head. The giraffe was completely tied down. Isla’s smile was wiped right off her face. She got out her pocket knife. The giraffe moaned. *Slice. Krrrrrrrrr*. The ropes were off the legs of the giraffe. *Quick take the photo before it runs away* she thought. *CLICK* The photo was taken.
As soon as the giraffe heard the click, he or she ran away. Isla was full of delight. She ran back to the car. “Ye get any good photos?” asked the guide. Isla looked at her camera. “Yes, I did. It's..perfect” She whispered.
