Book Reveiw

This week I made a book review. The book I did my book review on was The Princess and the Foal. It is a great book with lots of humor and adventures. Stacey Gregg is a great writer, she really interests me when I read. Her books engage me to read more of her books. The Princess and the Foal is about a princess called Haya and her foal Bint-al-reeh going through hard times of being apart and going to the King's Cup. The Princess and the Foal is a true story. I loved reading The Princess and the Foal.

Book Week

This week was book week . Chris Gurney came to our school and she showed us how a book goes from scribbles to books and we acted out her book Cindy and the Lost Jandal. On Friday I dressed up as Julie from a Dance Class (what I am dressed as in the picture). My team won the Lit Quiz and I got a ten dollar voucher for the book fair. I had a great book week.

Life Cycle of a Red Panda

W.A.L.T: write explanations.

Red pandas, You know those cute little red furballs? If you didn’t know what red panda is I will tell you. Red pandas are little creatures with big bushy tails and a cute button nose. But wait a second, how are they born? What is their life cycle?

Firstly the mother red panda will make a nest. She will usually build her nest out of leaves and plants. She will build her nest in a hollow log or somewhere cosy.

When it comes to birth a mother red panda can have up to four cubs but usually has twins. Cubs are usually born around summer or spring after mating season.

For about three weeks after they are born the cubs are blind. A cub is weaned from its mother for three to four months. In order to provide milk for her cubs she needs to eat three times the amount she normally eats!!!! A cub stays in the nest for roughly about ninety days until they learn to survive the environment around them. After around a year a cub not a cub anymore but is fully grown adult and lives independently. The average lifespan for a red panda is about 10 years.

Now you know all about red pandas so go out and tell everyone what you know about red pandas.

Cross Country

I walked into class yesterday morning knowing that in only a few hours I would be racing. It felt like the morning zoomed by and before I knew it we walking over to the starting line. On your marks... Get set... GO!! 

I started jogging, my heart pounding big breaths, in and out, in and out. Then just as I had started I had finished, I had come 8th!! I congratulated my friends and went off to get my water bottle. What a good day. And I just have to wait till next year to do it all over again.
