The Birds nest

My reading group was told to read a story then answer some questions. Here they are, please leave a comment.

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 a Monarch Butterfly

At first the female butterfly lays an egg the size of a sesame seed usually under a leaf. After a few days the baby caterpillar starts squirming, it starts chewing one side of the shell making the hole bigger to emerge into the new world and just two millimetres long. It’s first snack is the shell. Then it starts exploring for milkweed leaves, while it’s eating it gets bigger so it will need new clothes to fit him. To fix this problem it will shed several times. Also each shedding starts the mark of a new life that is called an instar. When it has shedded 6 times it will shed one more time by looking for the underside of a twig. It sticks with its silk and starts the pupation and will be in a strong kind of shell that is called a pupa, then after a while it turns into a butterfly. It’s wings are smaller but after half an hour or so fluids are pumped into the wings. When wings are ready to take of the new Monarch butterfly flies into the world feeding on nectar and the life cycle will start all over again.    

 

Use your WITS Explanation

We were told to write an explanation about using your wits. Read the writing and comment below what is a explanation.

Your WITS stand for Walk away, Ignore it, Talk about it and Seek help. Using your WITS helps you because if you ever get bullied choose one of the use your wits I think you should choose Talk about it then you can make friends and maybe your future might be bright.

You Walk Away by just maybe play on the playground and forget about what he/she is saying. If you walk away it will help you by not getting into trouble too. If you don’t Walk away you might  cause a big fight.

You Ignore it by pretending you can’t hear them or not replying. If you do reply with a nasty word there might be a fight and you will get into one big problem with the other person. Thats why you should try to Ignore it even if it is the f word just ignore.

It is important to talk about it because it can solve the problem also you won’t need to get anymore detentions. You might even make friends but if you don’t talk about it this argument will maybe go on forever. Maybe just think about it a whole year writing detention slips.

When it gets too hard you can seek help by telling a teacher or ask a friend. If you seek help you can also solve a problem and if they keep on carrying on with what they are doing bad then seek help again.

Use your WITS helps me by not getting into trouble, not getting into fights and not getting into detentions. Instead it can also help you by making friends, joking around and maybe even having fun. So make sure you Use your WITS.  

Huntly

On Sunday my family and I had planned to go on a trip to Huntly which is near to Hamilton. We stopped to have a nice relaxing picnic on the shore of lake Hakanoa. We had rice with meat and we also had grapes. After that my dad and I played with the frizzbee, our record was 30. Next we spotted a park with swings,monkey bars and some kind of swinging flyingfox. Finally we played soccer. We stayed for maybe 2 or 3 hours. After that we went over the Tainui bridge and went to Ngaruawahia, Waikato. We played on the park and ate watermelons and suddenly a big splash came out of the Waikato river. I was wondering what it was until it was time to go home.   

My Stetecial Gragh

I was investigating the windspeed on the 18th. From the time of 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock. I found out that 10 and 11 o'clock were the exact same windspeed, 26 km/h. I also found out that 12 o'clock was the lowest windspeed, 20 km/h.
