Summer Learning Journey

For summer learning journey we had to pick a destination we would visit and we had to blog why we picked this destination. The destination we selected was Aussie. We picked Australia because we know a lot about Australia. For starters, we already know what the capital of Australia is, It Canberra. If we had to estimate the population of Canberra it would be around 447,692 thousand people. When it is January in Canberra it is usually 14 degrees in the morning and night, but when its the afternoon its about 29 degrees. Canberra is located in the South-East side of Australia. In Aussie the mainly speak English.

Life Cycle Of A Turtle

The Life Cycle Of A Turtle

Turtles are animals that have been around for 150 million years. Sea turtles are very threatened species.

Sea Turtles lay 50 to 200 eggs in a hole. After 6 weeks 80% of the eggs hatch , and the other 20% die. The eggs are the size of a ping pong ball.

When the sea turtles are born they are the size of a human palm. When the turtles let themselves out of the hole they have many dangers on the way to sea like crabs, wind, and seaweed . 50% of the sea turtles die heading to the sea.

When the eggs have hatched the babys are the size of a palm on a hand. It takes a baby turtle 20 years for it to turn into a  breeding adult.

When the baby sea turtles are born they live for approximately 80 years, but out of all of the surviving sea turtles on 2 of them survive. The 2 survivors later swim to the beach to lay eggs.

Carnival

For literacy this week we had a choice of what we want to learning about for the next 2 weeks. The choices were, Carnival in Brazil, Rio De Janeiro, and also Day of the dead which is Mexican. I selected Carnival. Carnival the largest celebration in the world. The date of Carnival is 12th February to 13th February. The reason why I chose Carnival is because there is someone at our school who is Brazilian and his name is Theo. These are all the facts I know so far if there is anything you know about Carnival please comment it.
