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.
