In New Zealand we have many unusual animals. One of the most unusual is the kiwi bird - a bird that does not have wings and can not fly. Pretty strange, eh?! J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has recently written a new book about strange or unusual animals called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’
For this activity, please watch this cool book trailer. Year 7 and Year 8 students in South Auckland, New Zealand helped to make it. Once you have watched the video, use your imagination and create your very own beast. What does your beast look, smell, feel, and sound like?
Post a description of your beast. Use interesting adjectives (describing words) to tell us about your beast.
(Short Description)
Nightmare Beast
A beast that is thirty - four feet tall. He can live up to over 20 million years. He breathes deeply which makes it easier for anyone to hear him. Three big sharp razzing horns sit on his head and on his nose. The beast has a skull for its head and a giant human bulky body. This beast always carries a bat made from the bones of a devil. He has sharp thorns that grow out of his flesh. His heart is pressured by his black blood. His skin is pitch black so it's hard to see him in the dark especially at night, which is why he is called the nightmare beast.

Good afternoon Tyra,
I really enjoyed reading about your nightmare beast. You have used lots of descriptive language to write this story about your own Fantastic Beast. As a reader, I was hooked from the very beginning and I could see the beast coming to life in my imaginary world.
20 million years is a long time for a creature to live on this land. Does this beast have a name? What does he usually like to eat? If you do enjoy art, it would be awesome if you could draw this beast onto a blank piece of paper. I would love to see if it matches up the image I have in my mind. Just a thought!
Keep up the awesome work,
Susie :)
