Sharing My Knowledge On Poetry

What I learnt was that they are made of wood also they have a sound box and 4 strings.

Diorama

 In Te Maunga we have been doing dioramas. This is mine and my group's dinorama. I also learnt that Spinosaurus is one of the strongest dinosaurs in the world. What I thought: The reason why the dinosaurs died is because an asteroid landed in the volcano, and the volcano erupted so hard that mostly all of the dinosaurs died. Some survived but all the plants and water were gone. The dinosaurs had no source of food or water so they died. This is our screencastify of a diorama.  Click Here
