The Giraffe Weevil.
This week we used an image of a Giraffe Weevil as inspiration for our writing.
The children wrote some great pieces of descriptive writing. As a reading task to follow this everyone made a Giraffe Weevil.
Here is the writing we have published as part of the wall display. Have a read and let us know (by commenting on the post) what you think of it!
His
body is like a strawberry that protects it.
His legs are like spider legs so it can crawl. His legs are like my legs, he uses them to
wrap up a leaf. His neck is like a
giraffe to grab things. His snout is
like a little baby hand for sniffing out food.
Written by Stella.
His
snout is like an elephant trunk. He has
a bright shell. There are pincers so he
can make lines. He makes a weird sound,
he makes a creaky noise. His legs are as
skinny as a rubber band. His shell is as
bright as a new car.

This
is a very rare giraffe weevil. This is a
female. She is like a giraffe. She lives
on trees. They lay their larvae on
leaves. Her neck is very long and her
legs are very long too. Her body is
red. The female curls up the leaf and
drops it to the ground. Did you know
that the Giraffe Weevil can fly? The male
has a longer neck and it kind of looks like a daddy long legs. The female works really hard just for one
larvae.
