Ella's RE

“He aha mea te nui o te ao? He, Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata

This means what is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, the people, the people.’’

This means that we, as people, are the most important thing in our world. We have the power to make good choices, positive changes and be the best we can be.

I try to be the best person I can be by being kind and showing respect to everyone. I listen to other people's ideas and work as a team.

Lilia's origami daffodils

Here are Lilia's daffodils she made for inquiry learning

There are three species of elephants. I have chosen the asian elephants.hear is a picture of asian elephants.

Asian Elephants

Sometimes asian elephants can get really angry. But they're mostly calm. Asian elephants can grow up to 3 metres tall and nearly 5000 kilograms! THAT’S HEAVIER THEN 2 CARS!!!!!!!!!!!

asian elephants are big,strong and powerful mammals. THERE SO POWERFUL THEY CAN KNOCK DOWN A HOLE TREE!!!!!!

Asian elephants are social animals. They live in large herds,made up of females and baby elephants. Males leave the herd when they become teenagers and live in smaller herds where adult males live by themselves. Elephants can show emotions,and copy and play.They also get very sad when another elephant gets killed.

Ther skin colour is grey but sometimes camouflaged by dirt and dust.

Asian elephants are smaller, have shorter tusks and smaller ears than African elephants.

asian elephants are mostly scared and nervous of humans.

I like asian elephants.Do you?
