Hippos!


This week we have been learning about Hippos! They are very interesting creatures!


Our writing task:

Use one key word in every sentence

Here are some of our super facts!


AJ - The bigger hippos live in East Africa and the smaller hippos live in the West. They are called Pygmy hippos.


Te Tane - Hippos protect their calves.


Jared - Hippos are vegetarian.


Chloe - Hippos are one of the most dangerous creatures in Africa.


Digby - Female hippos are called cows and male hippos are called bulls.


Mia - Another name for hippos is 'river horse'. Hippos are mammals which means they are warm blooded.

    R 25, I was very impressed with your writing about hippos last week. You were able to use lots of hippo facts and have a clear beginning, middle and end when writing about what happened on the lake when people saw hippos.
