Christmas Food traditions

We are learning about Christmas traditions this time we are talking about food and what they leave out for Santa
In Australia it is very hot so Santa might want to cool down so in Aussie the kids leave him a nice cold beer.
In Sweden it is a very long flight to go right around the world so the kids in Sweden leave him a nice hot coffee to keep Santa for the rest of the flight
In Denmark they must love their rice pudding because that is what they leave for him.
Personally I leave cookies and milk for Santa because it is quick and easy to prepare


Christmas around the world

We are learning about Christmas traditions around the world today I learned that

in Italy they don't eat as much as other places. Because that is a special time of year for things like prayer it is also a time to remember the three wise men who brought gifts for Jesus
on January the 6th the people in Italy share their presents with the people of the town

I also learnt how to say merry Christmas in many languages like in:
Chinese Seng Dan Kuaile, Italian Buon Natale and in Mexican Feltz Navidad
they all mean merry Christmas.
Here is a link to a Christmas around the world link.

The Pigeon and the Walrus

This week we have been writing learning about opinion writing and we were reading books to choose from and they were Don't let the pigeon stay up ate, Don't let the pigeon drive the bus, The pigeon needs a bath and the pigeon wants a puppy that is the one I am doing.

The pigeon wants a walrus
“Wow! does that pigeon really want that walrus? Well I think he should have a chance to get a walrus to call his own.”

I think that the pigeon should get a walrus because it could be a really good body guard to protect the pigeon from the predators. But only the ones that want to try and eat the pigeon. Also the pigeon could train the walrus to call the other walrus to help the the bigger predators. For more help when the predators move into the neighbourhood. The predators might try to have a quick snack of KFP also known as Kentucky Fresh Pigeon.

If the pigeon wanted an excuse to get a bigger house. So that he could fit the walrus in the house so that the walrus feels comfortable. Also the walrus would need tons of room to lay down the the pigeon could get more and more walrus’s. So that he could have a second excuse to buy an even bigger house. The best is that the owner of the pigeon has to worry about the money problem.

If the pigeon were smart and I think that he is not he would make a…. Walrus army. To take down the predator and make the city predator freeeee. The pigeon could pick any of the house from a Big house to a  small house. Even though the pigeon has a small brain he could still notice which house is better for a walrus a baby could tell which house to pick.

In the end the pigeon could be a good friend and help the pigeon the pigeon could convince others to get a walrus.

Thunderstorms

We had to first learn and do research about the weather then we got to choose what weather feature we wanted to do I chose thunderstorms because it is cool.


Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are one of the most deadliest weather features known to mankind and the attributes such as lightning, Thunder and much more when you see a thundercloud take cover and don’t go outside.

Lightning is an electric current within a thundercloud way up in the sky many small bits of ice bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.

The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites things that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up such as mountains, people and trees. The charge coming up from these points in a few minutes connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and Zap... lightning strikes!

Now let's talk clouds in a Thunderstorm the clouds change colour from a pure white to b a droopy grey. Because rain clouds are grey instead of white because of their thickness or height. Also when the cloud gets bigger it blocks the sun.

Rain is one of the most common weather features in the world that people  get. Sometimes it is a good thing that it rains because it helps grow crops and if their was no rain their would be droughts. Sometimes rain is a bad thing because it can cause floods the flood count for this year so far 113 and counting

Did you know that wet and damp conditions can actually cause  for people to get allergies.  That’s because the  human body weighs pollen down and prevents it from spreading through the air.  Dry and windy days on the other hand, tend to be hard on people with allergies because pollen can float through the air more easily.

Let’s talk wind did you know that Wind is the flow of gases on Earth it refers to the movement of air.It is caused by differences in air pressure. Air rushes from high pressure areas to lower ones Short bursts of wind moving at high speeds are known as gusts. With powerful gust winds it is when it is strong for a bit the it dies down  then eventually it will come t again the the strong winds will stop.

Now let's talk about Thunder it should be the main thing in a thunderstorm. It is caused by lightning depending in the distance and the nature of the lightning. Thunder can range from a sharp crack to a long loud rumble. The sudden increase in pressure and the heat from lighting makes rapid growth of the surrounding air and within a bolt of lightning .

Thunderstorms occur when the sea breeze or mountains. They can occur all year round they are scary and I hope that one does not happen where I am.  Mainly they come in summer and spring i think that it is good that because in Spring and summer we need that extra kick from the hot and normal.

Let’s talk wind did you know that Wind is the flow of gases on our planet it refers to the movement of air.It is caused by differences in air pressure. Air rushes from high pressure areas to lower ones Short bursts of wind moving at high speeds are known as gusts. With powerful gust winds it is when it is strong for a bit the it dies down  then eventually it will come t again the the strong winds will stop.

I enjoy writing about Thunderstorms because of all the attributes that a thunderstorm has. My favourite one is rain,clouds and lightning like to think about what will happen next lightning or rain.

Weather and climate

We had to Scan threw web-sites to find some information about Antarctica while reading a range of text the first thing we did was went to the antarctic centre to learn more about it then we came back to school to pick our groups to see what group.

Weather and climate
Antarctica has one of the most rapped wind speeds in the world. Also one of the coldest places in the world.

In Antarctica there are many different jobs you can get like being a scientist,  a cook, a cleaner and lots of other jobs you can get. It would be good to go down there to get a job and see the animals. You don't need a job to go down there you could be a tourist.

Down in Antarctica the water is fresh and one of the driest places in the world. Some people call it the white continent because their is pure white all you see is white. Did you know that Antarctica is a desert because it does not rain what would you call it I call it Antarctica.

In Antarctica the people have to were a top a long sleeve a jersey also a jacket warm socks a beanie some gloves and also goggles and on top of that you need to carry all the supplies. The boots would be the heaviest because there is a little metal part at the bottom of the shoe and then you have the part were you put your foot in.  

I like Antarctica because  of the animals because I find it fascinating because of how they find a way to survive in Sub-Zero Temperatures, And also like the icebergs did you know that 90% of the icebergs are underwater

Fun In The Snow

The first thing we did was learn about Antarctica then put down some notes that we wanted to learn about and put them were they fit in your story the first thing we did was went to the antarctic centre to learn more about it then we came back to school to pick our groups to see what group.

Fun In The Snow
Antarctica is the coldest continent and the whitest place you can go. It is dry, also a desert because it does not rain if it did that would be horrible.

If you go there you will need a few layers on because if you have one layer you will freeze like a ice block. In Antarctica you will see nothing but white because of the snow for metres you will see just snow. You will hear wind whooshing around like a hurricane  all day you might be able to survive. You will see 17 species of penguins, 6 species of whale, 6 species of seal the live in Antarctica and 46 different types of bird.


I like Antarctica because  of the animals because I find it fascinating because of how they find a way to survive in Sub-Zero Temperatures, And also I like the vehicles that they use in Antarctica because if you took a normal car across the tyres would get stuck.But if you take a snow vehicles out there then you will not get stuck.

Leaf Insect

First we had to do some research about it first then we had to find out the parts of an information report and here is my story

Leaf Insect
Is a leaf with legs
What is that? There, is it a leaf? no it's an insect, it's an leaf insect.  Did you know that somewhere out there is a leaf with legs?

What do they eat
There are many types of leaf insects, so some of them eat differently. Some eat dark berries and raspberries and others eat leaves. If I was a leaf insect, I would prefer to eat berries more than leaves.

Leaf insect habitat
Leaf insects live in Bushes and  tree leaves so that they can eat their surroundings and also so they can hide when predators are around they can easily use their camouflage to hide themselves.

The life Cycle  
The life cycle goes the egg, then the egg hatches and out comes the larvae, and in a few weeks time it will turn into the pupa. And in a few more weeks time it will be a young and healthy leaf insect.

Why I like them
I like them because they have a way to stay away from predators and to camoflague like the surroundings that's cool.

Summer Poem

Screenshot 2017-03-16 at 12.24.18 PM.png
I remember smelling... Sizzling smoke after the flaming hot Fire


I remember tasting… the tangy tasty Ice cream after a hot day


I remember seeing… the helicopters flying to the blazing fire swoosh swoosh


That was summer!


I remember feeling… the blazing sun hitting the surface of my skin and the warmness of the inside of my belly


I remember hearing.. The creepy crawlies in the night with the owls chomping away

That was my summer!
