Miss Peake's Visit


By Christopher

On the 3rd Of September we had a lady from South Africa, her name was Miss Peake. She talked to us about where she lived in South Africa. The five most dangerous animals in South Africa are the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, hippopotamus. She showed up pictures of the five dangerous animals and showed us in the book where she lived and how they get around in cars just like here.

Then it was time for some questions for Miss Peake to answer. It was fun to have a teacher from South Africa at our school.

On Friday the third of September a woman called Miss Peake came to our class to talk about to us about South Africa. Miss Peake was teaching for three weeks in Year 1.

She talked to us about the big five which are the most dangerous animals in South Africa. They are the elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and the hippo. Then she showed us some of the South African money. Some of the notes had a pictures of animals. She told us that South Africa has roughly the same weather as Australia. 

Miss Peake taught us how to speak some of the languages in different parts of South Africa. Some of the words were a bit tricky like in Zulu - 'cula' means sing, 'xoxa' means chat, 'qoqa' means tidy up. In Afrikaans 'ons leer oor suid Afrika vandag' means we learnt about South Africa today. Then we asked some questions about South Africa and took some photographs.
