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.

The Pigeon Wants A Walrus

For reading this week we have been writing a opinion story about a series of books that is a about a pigeon who wants a lot of things. The Author of the books is called Mo Willems. The books are really funny. The books that we read were The Pigeon Needs A Bath, The Pigeon Wants A Puppy, Don't Let The Pigeon Stay Up Late and Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus.

The Pigeon Wants A Walrus Opinion

In my opinion I think the pigeon should get the walrus as a pet because …

The reason why I think this is because if the pigeon gets the walrus as a pet he can teach the walrus a lot and also the pet walrus can teach the pigeon a lot.

When the pigeon gets the walrus the walrus can teach the pigeon how to swim just in case the pigeon’s wings stop work in the middle of a ocean and then he would fall and die, because he doesn’t know how to swim.

Since the walrus is big maybe it could be the pigeons bodyguard or possible teach the pigeon to defend himself. Also the pigeon could get attack in the air by a hawk and then he will know how to defend himself.

If the pigeon does get the walrus, the pigeon can learn how to be mature and he could raise the walrus like the pigeon’s kid. That is because the pigeon might want his own kids.

That's what I think the pigeon should get the walrus. That's what I think and maybe your should to.

Learning Journey 5

Learning Journey Day 5

Today tasks were easy but you had to type a lot. Task 1 was to pretend you are in a forest by yourself in the night and create a story with at least 8 to 10 sentences. I made my one a bit spooky well I tried to make it a bit spooky. Task 2 was to pick any famous New Zealander and make a DLO about that New Zealander. I chose Stan Walker. This task had a lot of typing. Here's a fun fact Stan Walkers album "Black Box" was the highest selling single in New Zealand in 2010 and won a New Zealand Music Award. Today's bonus activity was to write a lot of reason why you would go on the Otago Rail Trail. Today the bonus activity was worth 10 points and the tasks were fairly easy today so hopefully I get full points.

Mighty Muscels

In reading we have been reading a book in a school journal called Mighty Muscles.

• Our activity was to take a screenshot that was on our school site.
•  The picture was a body and we had to name the muscles. 
• To name the muscles there were links on the site that we had to explore. 
• When you figured out what the body part was we had to insert a text box and write what muscle it was. 

Thunderstorm Art

This term we have been learning about weather. In art we have been making a stormy day art. We got handed a rough piece of black paper. The first thing we did was make a silhouette. We could pick what background we wanted. The options was trees and buildings. We had 5 minutes to draw our background and cut it out. When we were done we went the other class to dye our paper. We got a white piece of paper to put the background on. The colours that we had were light blue, dark blue and black. We dyed it sideways instead of upwards. When we finished that we cleaned the paint brushes. The last step was to draw the lightning, paint the cloud and stick the silhouette on the white paper. The first thing that happened was that you got given your stuff to you. The first then I did was stick my silhouette of my paper. Next I waited to get called up to either do the lightning or make the stormy cloud. I got called up to do the stormy cloud first. We had to use a dabbing technique to make the cloud. We had to make the stormy cloud black. The final thing to do was to make our lightning bolt coming out of the cloud. We mad the lightning bolt with white paint. When I finished I put my paper on the table to dry.

Roald Amundsen Infomation Report

We have been learning about Antarctica for about 1 month because we went to the Antarctic Centre and we had to write an information report about  Explorers, Animals, or Climate. I picked Explorers. The explorer that I chose was Roald Amundsen. The first step was to pick a topic. The next step was to make a introduction. The third thing to do was a description. And the last thing to do was a evaluation. This information report took lots and lots of research.

That Was Summer

Last week in writing we learnt about adjectives. We wrote a summer poem that had lots of wow words in it. First brainstormed some wow words so we can make our poem interesting. Then we wrote our story. When I finished I had to reread my story to make sure it made sense.
