Myths and Legends Keys!

Task description.
Mrs. Tele'a told room 2 to do this task. This task was about the myths and legends we learnt at week 1. In week 1 we learnt 6 different myths. Since we know what the myths are, we had to put object under the flags. The objects are actually called keys. Those keys are related to something, for example. In our photo the diamond means that the myth had animals in it.
After we finished we have to post it on our blog.

/At 11 weeks old/, Daisy joined/ the school/ two weeks ago/ to be trained/ as a /therapy dog/, and as /students enter/ Te Ao Mārama /primary school/ in Flagstaff/ each morning,/ they are greeted/ by a small furry spoodle Daisy/, the latest /member of the /school's staff./

Deputy headmaster/ Anna Pratt/ — and Daisy's owner/ — said she /became interested/ in the growing phenomenon /of therapy dogs/ being used /in schools /around the world./

"It is /really popular/ in America,/ and also /in Australia,"/ Ms Pratt said./ "There were/ a lot of /things we considered/, such as/ the breed/, the size,/ the type of coat/ — Daisy has/ a wool coat/ so she doesn't/ trigger any allergies/. She has/ been at school/ now for a/ couple of weeks,/ and she has been/ growing in /confidence and/ the students/ have been /getting more/ confident around/ her as well."/

Daisy,/ who is/ a half poodle/ and half spaniel/, is identified/ by the /fluoro orange jacket/ that has been /specially made for her,/ to show/ that she is a/ dog in training,/ and to /also make her/ stand out/ when at school events./

Ms Pratt /said that /having a /therapy dog /as young as Daisy/ also helps /with dog education/, and the responsibility/ that comes/ with owning a dog./

"I was astounded/ as to /how many kids/ here had /never touched a dog,/ or even seen a dog./"

"So many kids/ come up/ saying I'm really/ scared of dogs,/ but I really want/ to pat her/ and now /those kids /are some/ of the ones /who come up/ first to greet Daisy./"

Daisy's routine includes/ heading to road patrol in the morning and roaming through the learning areas of the school or teaching spaces./

"Children will/ read to her /or draw pictures/ for her in class,/ and then after /that she will/ eat and sleep/ for a bit."/

"In research/ it shows/ that patting a dog/ releases the /feel-good hormones/ and it just helps/ settles the kids,/ and they /don't become distracted."
