Here is my shopping list I made for the zoo. We had different menu's for different animals. We had to work out how many of each thing on the menu's of each animal in a week.

Note Taking

In reading we are learning to take notes. When you take notes you have to right key worrd not full sentances. Here is my notes that I took.

Shells:

Shells protect predators, strong currents,storms. Hermit crabs change shell every time, grow bigger.

Scales:

Fish covered scales, layer of slime to help move water. reptile full scales.

What makes a reptile a reptile?

covered, scales, cold blooded.

Scales protect  bodies. How?

The scales protect their soft bodies

Scales hard or soft, large, small.

Crocodile bumpy scales

Larger Scales can make a fish tougher and harder to digest

The inner layer of the scale is made of lamellar bone. On top of this lies a layer of spongy or vascular bone and then a layer of dentine-like material called cosmine. The upper surface is keratin. The coelacanth has modified cosmoid scales that lack cosmine and are thinner than true cosmoid scales.

Feathers:

bird a bird?

Wings no a bat and a fly has wings not birds

A: feathers.

Feathers help keep warm

light but tough covering.

Help flying

largest tail, wings

Fur:

fur warm when cold.

Most warm-blooded animals, skin not enough  2 keep warm.

Most mammals fur.

Skin:

African Elephant’s skin thick around ear it is thin 2 cool down. thick everywhere else places extra support

Armor:

Mammals= Armadillo, porcupine, hedgehog

hedgehog adult 5000 spikes

Reptiles= Turtle, Tortoise,

Arthropods = Crabs

Armadillo has armor, boney plates, upper body, feet : leather protect them from predators : foxes cats.

Pufferfish, deadly poison, defence.

Chapter 22 - Best Weekend

The Best Weekend

Sausage sizzle, playing in  the park and getting wet with a sprinkler. Yup thats what I did in the weekend. First it started with my brother yelling out loud trying to wake me up. Cereal went into my tummy and after a winki of my eye it was lunch time. We settled down in the front yard and had a sausage sizzle. We put our bicycles in the car boot and headed of the shop. We ate with my dad. Soon my dad took us to the park where we rode our bicycles, played on sing and flying fox and went down the slide a couple of times. When we came home we turned  on the sprinkler and got blasted with icy water. It really hit the spot. We ended the day with a nice indian movie. That’s what you call the perfect weekend.

Chapter 21 - Coding

Coding

Dear Buddy

I was so thrilled to learn to code which is all about technology in computers. Coding is the language of computers. We learnt how to tell the computer to do something when a button is pressed. We used the website called code.org. There were so many hour of codes to do. I did the Minecraft one. It was so fun. There were 14 levels to do. When I did all the mind blowing, tricky levels I got a certificate. I did more hour of codes later on in the day and earned even more certificates. Coding is very easy after I did lots of hour of codes. But sometimes it’s really hard. Like when I was doing a level I had to make my character turnaround 20 times instead  I made it go forwards and backwards 20 times. But anyways coding is heaps of fun. Will you try the hour of code Jazzmeet?

Did you know that there a millions of jobs for people but no one understands coding?

Chapter 20 - Cough

My Brother’s Cough

Question marks ran through my head as my mum told me that my brother has got Asthma.

“ But he’s only three” I said. My mum explained to me that Asthma can start at any age, and since he is small and if we look after him the Asthma will go away. She also said that my brother’s Asthma started with a loud cough. My weekend started with seeing my mum cleaning out her room, making sure that there was no dust by My brother’s bed. As she started to vacuum the room “ CCCCC RRRRR AAACCC K!!” the vacuum broke.
“ Looks like we're going to need a new vacuum !” I said before bursting into a long laugh.

“HAHAHAHA!!”

Chapter 19 - Fireworks

My Firework Fantasy

Dear Jazzmeet

BOOM! BANG!  BOOM! colourful fireworks fill the dark sky. Our family did not  buy fireworks we just watched the shooting fireworks burst in the sky. There were blue ones, red ones, yellow ones, green ones, silver ones too. My favourite firework was the one that shot up into the sky and popped and then all the leftover fire crystals burst into blue flowers. It was so pretty and loud! I really enjoyed watching the fireworks bloom in the sky. But there was one problem every time I looked through the window there was nothing and everytime I sat down they would pop in the sky. I was running from this window to the other window.  Soon it was time for bed. It was hard for me to fall asleep with all the BOOMING! and BANGING! but I fell asleep after a short while or a long while. But I fell asleep in the end. Guy Fawkes was awesome.

Chapter 18 - Halloween

Letter To Buddy - Weekend

Dear Buddy,

In  the weekend I sort of had fun or you could say I was creeped out. It all started when I woke up from sleeping the whole night then the creepy stuff happened. Oh and I forgot to tell you earlier it was the spookiest night of the year, HALLOWEEN!! As soon as the sun set it was pitch dark and all you could hear was a creepy witch laugh outside. “HAHAHAHAHA” My  mum and I stayed up late watching horror movies, and then the witch laugh stopped. I peered through the window and I saw a person with a axe and no head. It came in the movie that we just watched.

“THE HEADLESS WOODCUTTER!!!” I screamed. My mum started to laugh and giggle.
“ Why are you laughing when  the headless wood cutter is coming to kill us?”

“ Because it’s your dad , he is wearing a headless wood cutter Costume” My mum said.

My dad came in the house and was pretending to be  headless wood cutter.

“ If that was dad then who is the person at the back?”

DON DON DON!!!!!

No No don’t get really worried. I was just joking I had a great weekend without creepy stuff.
