Don't Kill The Animals

Today In class, we had to make a trap that would capture animals without killing them. This was a tricky task but I found the ultimate answer! This is a fool - proof idea. I thought that if we use a net it will be much easier to catch them because they might hear the gunshots and run away. 

I hope you like it!

Last Activity

This is the final activity. I had to create a 'Super Beetle' and add different things to it to make it unique.
It could be like your dream beetle but whatever you add to it, it had to be useful. This is mine. I might call it... BUGGY the Super Beetle!

What about the beetles?

This is another one of my three activities that I am doing for the week. This is a paragraph about the three main groups of the Dung Beetles. It is really awesome that you can learn so much from just a video!

The Dung Beetles are the reason we don’t live in poo everyday. Once an animal poops, dung beetles locate the dung and take it away for themselves. But because there are so many beetles, that beetle will have to take it as fast as he can. There are three main groups of dung beetles. Rollers, Tunnelers and Dwellers. Rollers are dung beetles that sculpt a ball of dung and use their back legs to roll it away from the other competitors. Once the male has selected its mate, the two beetles will dig a hole in the ground and the female will lay its eggs in the dung. Tunnelers dig holes under the dung and collect it from dung from underneath. Dwellers take the most efficient way by laying their eggs in the dung and when they hatch, the larvae feed on it, leaving the scraps that are completely surrounded by bacteria and fungi and wither away.

Dung Beetles!

In class, Mrs Lee sent us a link to a site about dung beetles. There was information (videos and a passage) and activities. We had to choose 3 activities to do and post them on our blog. We got to choose if we wanted to post all three of them all at once or post them separately and I will be posting them all separately. This is a poster of 'How Dung Beetles Move Their Dung'. I hope you learn something from this.

Hello?

WALT write a story about what ever you want

A writing time today, we had to write a story about what ever we wanted. There's not much to explain. Just that we did free writing. My story is called "Hello?"

Hope you enjoy!

Me and my friends were just walking around a park and I saw a dirty house. It was dirty and crusty with cobwebs and broken windows. I told my friends I had to go to the toilet and they said okay. I headed straight to the dirty house. I was so scared that I couldn’t breathe. I tried to push myself to go in there but I just couldn’t. As soon as I started to walk away, I heard a loud BANG! I turned around and put a serious face on and went inside. 

The door closed behind me. There was two stairways. There were a lot of spiders and cobwebs. There were three bookshelves too. One upstairs and two near the door I came in from. It was very creepy and brisk. I went upstairs and looked at the bookshelf and saw something coming from underneath. I touched it and it looked like BLOOD. 

I was so freaked out I ran down the stairs screaming. I tried to open the door but it was locked somehow. I tried to break it open. I grabbed a chair and threw it at the door. It didn’t break. Then I heard someone. “Hello?”. I turned around. “Is someone here?”. It sounded like a man. I tiptoed and tried not to make any sound. Then he came.

A tall figure stood in front of me. His blood dripped from his legs and arms. “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE” He screamed. I ran to the door and tried to open it every way possible. He ran to the door. Finally, the door opened. He nearly got me but I ran out of the house and slammed the door shut. I ran back to the park. 

My friends were still there. “Why did you take so long” One of my friends said. “Did you have diarrhea or something”. I laughed. Me and my friends started walking home. Then I screamed. I saw him there. The man. He just stood there. With this nasty look on his face. “ What’s wrong?” My friend said. “Nothing” I said shaking.  Luckily, my friends didn’t notice the house. I promised myself to Never. Go. There. Again.

The Efficient Way!

At reading time, we had to create a more efficient way for Sir Edmund to get his building tools ,that he uses for building the school and the hospital, up on to the Himalayan Mountains. But it had to be doable. It can't be planes or helicopters etc. It had to be modern technology. I decided to do a elevator (not a real one). I think I did pretty well. My idea was clear in my head but I wasn't really sure how to create it. But I'm really happy with the results!

Can you think of anything more efficient? If you can, let me know!

Can you think of a Sentence?

In class, we are learning about descriptive writing. Mrs Lee gave us a slideshow full of pictures. We had to come up with a sentence that would describe it best. E.g as I stepped outside, my eyes were filled with the sun that glistened. The next day, we had to come up with sentences like similes, idioms, alliteration etc. I really enjoy writing so this activity was great! ( This is not finished but don't expect anything more from this slideshow.)

So what about you? Can you make up a sentence? Good luck!
