The Bird Nest

The Bird Nest Tom woke up and turned on the lamp. He pushed the sheet and Woollen rugs off himself and staggered to the Window, which was partly open. He looked up to see a full moon and there, in the moonlight, sitting on a nest in a massive gum tree, was a mother bird and her noisy baby chicks. The nest, made from twigs, straw, wool and dead grass, was swaying wildly from side to side. As it did so, the mother bird tried to calm her frightened young ones by chirping softly to them.

Life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly

Gently the butterfly lays its egg on a swan plant. After that it leaves and the egg is hanging underneath the leaf. The butterfly lays it egg under the leaf because there are a lot of dangerous insects and animals that might squash or eat it.

 After a day or two it’s ready to hatch, but when it does it comes out and eats the shell. I wonder what the shell taste like? It looks like it’s really scrumshus to the caterpillar. When it finishes eating the shell it moves on to eat leaves.

 While it eats leaves it sheds many of time and changes colours. As it eats it gets bigger and bigger everyday. When it sheds it looks funny but it’s part of the life cycle, it eats about 15 leaves and then it is ready to find a good branch and dangle from it. 

Then there it hangs but first it has to make something sticky to make it stick. After a while it turns into a chrysalis and stays in there for 2 weeks. Then when it comes out there is a beautiful monarch butterfly.

My Statistical Investigation?

I was Investigating the highest 

and lowest Temperature for February 20th all the way to Feb the 24th . 

I found out that the highest Temperature was 26 and the lowest was 12.



There are three different charts but with all the same drawing the easiest chart to read is the one in the middle.

I conclude that every time it is the 23 it will be sunny. 

  

Use your Wits.

Using your Wits means to always do the right thing. It also means you have to follow 4 steps which are W walk away, I ignore it, T talk about it and S seek help. First we are going to talk about W walk away.

 If people are Bullying you, you should walk away. If you don’t walk away then there are many bad things that can happen to you. Even though they are pushing or teasing you just use your Wits. The next step is to ignore it, if people are making fun of you, walk away and ignore it.

Another example is if people are teasing you, calling you names and other things you just have to ignore it. If you talk about it, it will make you happy and it will also solve many of your problems. There are lots of thing you could talk about, like if you pet died or someone is teasing you just talk about it.

 To Seek help you have to find a teacher or an adult and tell them what's wrong. It also means that the person who was bullying you would learn a lesson. Using your WITS can help you by not being bullied. If you use your WITS you'll be happy and you will be able to enjoy the rest of your day knowing what you can do if that ever happens again.

Ambassador Speech

Today some of my friends and I had to say a speech for special visitors. I wasn't really shy because I had practiced many times and I only made two mistakes. There were only 10 visitors who came, that's why I wasn't shy. The people who said the speech with me were all ambassadors including me. We had a lot of help from two really really special people named Mr and Mrs Burt. Mr Burt is the principal of Pt England school, and Mrs Burt is in charge of the ambassadors. They are both like coaches.


 But someone I noticed sitting there was Phil Giller from Samsung. I spoke to him and he was telling me that he played league for Hibiscus Coast . I replied back “I’m in the Mount Wellington rugby league team and I've beaten Hibiscus coast".

Famous Chimp

One hot and sunny day there were two men who worked at the zoo. Their boss had told them to go and get a new Chimpanzee for their new exhibit. Deep in the jungle a mother Chimpanzee was giving birth to her only child she had named him Jake. One day he was wandering thru the jungle with no one in sight until he heard something from a bush and then hahahah “I got you 9 said one of the men from the zoo. Jake had called for help many of times but no one could hear him. Soon later they had taken him to the zoo where many others chimpanzees were living. There were two lady chimps who adored him, they said “I could just eat you up”. 

He was really scared until he saw three other chimp that look the same age as him playing with each other. Then there were some more who look scary and vicious. So he walk over to those three who were playing with each other. He went up and said Hi one of them look at him and said hello. He ask her where he was we are at the zoo she said. Then he saw a little girl named was Emma Wellington she was really excited to see the to see the new baby Chimpanzee which was Jake he didn't know she was famous Just that she was little and she look like a girl. She wanted to adopted him and she did her father had let her keep him.  
After a Week Emma had named him Louis, He was really famous but for some reason he was really sad. Was it because he miss his mum or did he want to go back to the zoo. Stay tuned for my next writing about the Famous Chimp.
