Activity 1: New Zealand royalty

This week is our Manaiakalani SLJ teaser week. Today I completed the activity (New Zealand royalty). For this DLO I found interesting facts about the famous NZ singer Lorde. I found out that Lords real name is Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor. I found this activity fun as I had the chance to learn more about Lorde as she comes from Zealand and pursued her dreams of becoming a singer.

Let’s start with jelly.

It’s a wobbly word

that rhymes with belly

and smelly, of course,

and my old Aunt Nellie,

who’s also wobbly

and works in a deli

when she’s not at home

in front of the telly

being wobbly and eating jelly

and thinking of her brother Kelly,

who ran away with a girl named Shelly,

who worked - small world -

in the very same deli

as wobbly, telly-loving

old Aunt Nellie.

Rhymes run around
