We have been learning about evolution. Everyone did a title page and a page listing the vertebrates and invertebrates, so this is mine. Some the categories in vertebrates are fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Some of the categories in invertebrates are insects, spiders, octopuses, squid and snails/slugs.

Hansel, Gretel and the Witch

In drama this term we have been doing performances of bits of the Hansel and Gretel story. I had fun being the witch in this performance. In this scene the witch is wanting to eat Hansel and Gretel is trying her best to make the witch change her mind but it's not going to happen. She goes to fetch a pot of water for the witch when the witch tells her to see if it is hot enough when she has an idea. She asks the witch to check herself and pushes her in. She takes the key unlocks Hansel grabs some of the witch's money and runs back to their house. Doing this performance was really fun because we got to do funny voices and actions. I learned how to act with other people who are not my friends.

Jesus' Saving Work

This week we were looking at Jesus' saving work. We did a page on what saving work is and how we can do saving work ourselves in our daily lives. We also drew comics of someone doing saving work. Mine was about a girl who's pants were split open while she was doing cross country and a girl who helped her by giving her the jumper. The saving work here was the girl helping the other girl to not be embarrassed.

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.
