Animal survival is a game that we played witch everyone loved. It was a game like there are 2 taggers and lots of different animals like small carnivore, Large Herbivores and little herbivores. And the 2 taggers are dogs/carnivores. carnivores are a animal that only eats meat, and herbivores only eat plants. The Small carnivores  could not tag the large herbivores but the dogs could. The dogs also could eat the small carnivores and the small herbivores. The only thing that the small carnivores could tag was the small herbivores. It is very complicated but very fun. Also some of them can have up to 8 live/Getting tagged 8 times and some has 2 lives/Getting tagged 2 times. And here are some photos. If you have any questions just leave a comment.

Whale Sharks

Hey Readers

Today we had finished out information reports about something. I picked a whale shark because they are a very cool and different fish. Whale sharks are very big and are a lot different and bigger than any other fish or shark. Whale sharks are a shark that can swallow fish half there body size. Im going to let the writing do the work. If you have any questions just leave a comment.  The Fantastic Whale Shark

Whale sharks are very cool and different from other sharks. They are capable of swallowing fish half the size of them. And there are only 2K left in the world and only 17 out of 64 species left. 

Appearance

 

Whale sharks can weigh up to 19k kg when fully grown and can grow up to 10 meters long but start at 5.5 to 6 meters long, and their mouth can open up to 1.5 meter long and wide. 

Diet

Whale sharks after eating food they let water into their mouth to digest the food. And their nose is very close to the top of its mouth, which you could smell from everything you eat. They also eat plankton, small shrimp and any other food/fish they can swallow.

Habitat 

Whale sharks live in lagoons and coral reefs. They like to live in coral reefs because little fish that they can swallow are all amressed. They also like water that is 30’C and 35’C degree water.

So after reading this I hope you notice what whale sharks do and that they are endangered so if you see a hurt whale shark try to help it, for a call for help. Even though they are different they are still the same.

Describe A Moment In Time.

 Hey Readers

over the last 2 week we have been working on another moment in time. A moment in time is a writing thing which you can describe what is going in a picture. we have been doing moment and time for a long time. if you have any questions just leave a comment. Looking around, seeing bent and broken trees, they start to get butterflies. The trees are swaying side to side creaking and cracking. The forest is as dark as a room that has no lights and windows in it. 

The water is making the boat sway side to side as the alligators zoom after prey. The decomposed vegetation smells like a group of dead animals. The smell of alligator digestive makes everyone gag. The girl in pink dips her hand in the water and then smells her hand and immediately pushes it away. Washing her hand makes them rock side to side.

They look around and see God's fingers starting to see light. Looking to the left and right they can’t see far till darkness hits. The sun is allowing the people to see the twisted and tilted trees that were hidden in the darkness. The Foggy mist is getting pushed away as the sun takes over.

The girls hair is dangling just above the water. As the fish jump the birds sing in fear. As the trees rustle and the boats rock the fog is almost clear. The girls are screaming in fear as the water is switching from side to side as the alligators circle.

The people are near the end and the sun is shining straight through the fog. The alligators are no match for the people. They feel success. They feel grounded. They feel safe.

Weekends Should Be Three Days Long!

Do you think weekends go too fast?
In my own opinion weekends should be three days long so people get more hours and days to spend with family and friends. Also people can get more time to rest from a big game of sports.

Firstly, people don’t get enough time to spend with family and friends. If we have three day weekends we can have more time to have sleepovers and playdates with our friends. I normally only get a one day sleepover but with a three day weekend I will get a two and a half day sleepover, YAY. Family is important and with a longer weekend you will be able to play with your family and have more fun and hugs, Who doesn’t like hugs?

Secondly, sport takes one day, so if we have a two day weekend people that play sports only get one and a half day weekends because in my family sports take a whole day, so I don’t get much d to play with friends and family. If we have three day weekends I and everyone else that has sports can have a two day weekend so that means more fun, playdatas, sleepovers and lots of other fun. Even though sports are fun, my day goes too fast for me to have enough fun. 

Finally, you can just have more fun, you can go to parks, swimming pools, road trips, walks you can go to a friends house and lots of other crazy things. Fun is one of the most important things in life. Social time is also important for some people but I think playing with friends is better. I don’t spend much time socializing but that’s me not you.

In conclusion, I strongly think weekends should be expanded to three days long, so people get more family/friends time, more time to train for sports/rest, and lots of other fun stuff. Three day weekends will give you more time to get fitter and go for more runs and walks. What would you do if we had three day weekends?

Scooter's Over The Years

Hey Readers

Over the last week we have been writing a information report about a topic. I found it quite easy because we did a plan to copy. Have you written an information report? If you have what about? I did it about scooters what do you think.

Scooter’s Over The Years

Introduction

Did you know that scooters were released in 1817. Scooters have changed over the years, their look, shape and cost. Scooters are a really good transport use from one place to another. Today there are scooters around the place that are electric for people in a rush or for fun.

First Made/History

Scooters over the years have evolutied, the first scooter was released in 1817 the same time as the bike was released. The first scooter made was the kick scooter which looked really weird. Scooters changed the world when they were released, it made it very easy to travel from 1 place to another.  Over a couple of centuries scooters were made for kids and adults, some are push scooters and others are human powered. 

Appearance/Look

Some scooters have 2 wheels 3 wheels. The first scooter made had 1 handle/a pole that you had to turn to control it/ turn left and right. Today's scooter still has 1 pole but they have 2 handles, so you push one hand forward and it will turn the other way, it's quite hard to explain. Some scooters look different from the material that was used.

Cost

Did you know that the most expensive scooter in the world is $22,598.25 NZD? 

Scooters have changed cost over centuries. Some scooters go on the material that they used to create the beautiful manpowered machine. 

Conclusion

Scooters have changed over the years from kick scooters to electric.

How Zebras Got There Stripes

Hey Readers

Toady we finished our myth, over the whole week we have been writing a myth. I found it realy fun and interesting to learn the difference of a legend and a myth. A legend is something that is unbelievable, and a myth is something that people could believe. If you have any questions just leave a comment. This is my first time writing and myth and it was a very good experience. Have you written a myth before?

A long, long time ago zebras had no stripes. There was a zebra named Jeff that lived in Africa. One day Jeff went for a tramp. Later he got tired so he sat down under a tree and hit the hay. Along can Monk the monkey with a big smirk on his face. He grabbed Jeff's tail and tied it around the tree, so when he woke from his slumber he would be stuck.

 1 Hour later Jeff woke from his snooze, and started walking home, until he realized that he wasn't moving. He looks back and sees his tail tied around the tree. He tries to get it undone by running away from it, but it is no use. He cried out for help but no one showed up, so he decided to wait till tomorrow.

The next morning, Jeff woke from his doze and his tail was untied. He jumped in excitement, darting around the place, until donk, he hit his head on a branch and went SPLAT, into a oozy, sloppy, muddy thing. Jeff wakes up a couple of minutes later, very muddy and dirty. He started heading home and on the way he found a lake so he jumped into it to get squeaky clean. But then when he walked out he had black stripes all over him, so he darted home to tell his mum.

“Mum, MMMMUUUUUUM look at me look at me, I have stripes”

“What, how did you get those stripes?” Jeff’s mum asked.

“I fell into a squishy oozy thing.”

“A what” says Jeff's mum confused.

“Come on I'll show you” Says Jeff running off into the distance.

Once Jeff and his mum got to the  squishy, oozy thing she did the same thing that Jeff did and got stripes too. That's how zebras got their stripes.
