Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Life Cycle of a Butterfly

The life cycle of a butterfly is a really long process to go though, there are 4
stages to go though so I am going to be telling you all about it from the
start to the end. 

Egg

If you did not know a butterfly starts as a little little egg. They are normally
found on a small leaf if there is only one of a big leaf if there is more than 1.
The egg stage usually lasts 3-7 days but this can change a bit among
different species of butterflies. Did you know that there are 20,000 species.

Caterpillar

Once it has been a few days the caterpillar finally starts to show through
and come out of the egg. Most caterpillars eat the eggshell after it has
hatched, others eat leafs. The caterpillar is designed to be an “eating-
machine” and before it begins to pupate it will increase its body mass
thousands of times. . The total time that the butterfly stays in the
caterpillar stage is about 2-5 weeks and varies based on the species and the
growing conditions. It is believed that the caterpillar stage is the most
dangerous in the life cycle of a butterfly as the death rates are very high. 

Chrysalis

When a caterpillar knows that it is ready to go into a chrysalis it finds a nice
and thin brunch and starts to curl its tail over and lens against the brunch.
The caterpillar makes 2 strings and attaches it to the brunch it does not full
of well it is in the chrysali that is called a silk mat. Not all butterfly species
attach in the same way. Actually, the majority of butterflies will hang upside
down from their silk pad. As you can see in the pictures at the bottom it
gets covered in this green shell that feels like a really thin leaf. Inside the
cocoon the butterfly is starting to develop into different colors it stays in a
chrysali for 1-2 weeks.

Butterfly 

After a long wait it finally the wings start to show,when it firsts come out
the wings are a bit crumbled but as time goes the wing starts going to normal
and  floats up into the air so it can fly.  The lifespan of most adult
butterflies is about 2-3 weeks but this can vary greatly among species.

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly Begins and Ends With the Adult Butterfly and

the life cycle will hopefully never end.

Maori feelings

Here is my DLO on  what the Maori feelings are.

Frogs

Frogs

Frogs are special animals because they can live on water and on land.They  like to hide in moist, damp places, and they don't like direct sunlight. You can find them near ponds, at the edges of swamps, and on river banks. Here is a live cycle of how they were born.

Tadpole Eggs

Tadpole Eggs also called as fertilized eggs and are laid by female frogs normally around 2 to 12 get laid at a time. They are little jelly clear round balls with one black dot in the middle of it, they float on water in about clusters of 45 also called mass. Some Tadpole eggs can take up to 8 mouths but most take 6 to 8 weeks.

Tadpoles

Once they form into tadpoles they grow a little bigger and kidda look like little fish on clear jelly,well… at least I think that. When it forms it grows grills that allow it to breath underwater. The tadpoles can only swim and eat for the start. They eat the plants that are underwater, after a while it forms lungs so it can breathe out of the water when it becomes a frog. It also forms little fragile legs and a really long tail. It forms legs so that it can leap instead of all ways swimming. 

Young Frogs

After 14 long weeks It finally forms into a frog. Now it has 4 legs and the tail becomes shorter,and only has a little stub left. When it is young it leaps out of the water for the first time to. Also when it is young it eats nothing… Imagine eating nothing for days.

Adult Frog 

This is when the frog's tail completely disappears and it eats insects insead of plants and water. The young frog will grow for about 2-4 years to become an adult. The adult frogs then lay their eggs and more tadpoles hatch and begin the cycle again!

And that is how a tadpole turns into a frog. I hope I teach you a thing or 2 about a life cycle of a frog.

Here is my expatiation writing on frogs.

Matariki

This week we have been forcing on Matariki here is some things I found out.

Primary School

Primary School


School is a safe place to go to learn How to do maths,

writing and reading while your parents are working.

You are at school for 8 years from age 5 to 12-13.

There are 98,158 public schools all over the world.

You can also change schools anytime you want during the 8 years.

In a school there are classrooms, playgrounds and libraries.





Classrooms


A classroom is where all the kids get Separated into year groups.

Some schools only have 10 Children at them and some have

Thousands of children at them. So it depends on how many

children are at that school, how many classes there are at that

school.





Playground


Nearly every school has at least 1 playground, some even have 2

or more. Playgrounds with 2 or more normally have a big playground

and a little playground. The big playground is for the older kids and

the little playground is for the younger kids.





Library


A library has heaps of books that you can get out for 2 weeks.

Some libraries have magazines that you can read. Normally your

class goes there once a week to get books out and return books.

If you are a year 4 or up you can get 2 books out but if you are a

year 3 down you can only get 1 out.





Ages


There are all different ages that kids go to school. Most kids start

school at 5 years old but some start a 4 turning 5. You finish

school at age 12 or 13 depending on when they're birthdays are.

Most kids leave at 12 years old though.





Schools are a good place to go and find friends and learn how to do things.

Back to school

Today is our second week of being at school from lock down because of the globule pantomimic that is going on around the world. I like being at school better than doing school at home because, we get to be around our friend and like when you are stuck on something you can ask others for help. I also like doing work at home because you get to pick what order to do your work in and if you want to have a break you can.In my opinion I like being back at school better.  What did you like better being at school or being at home?? I can't watt till it goes done to leave 1 so that we can start to play sports again.   

My Dog Marley.

Marley (My dog)

Marley is  brown on her back with light brown stripes going through it, her tummy is light brown and blonde. She has dark brown eyes like a owl. Marley is a girl, her breed is rottweiler cross bullmastiff and she sometimes barks as people who walk past our house. She smells a little stinky sometimes, but most of the time she doesn't.    

Marley is quite clumsy but funny and lazy sometimes. Like if there is a pole in front of her and she is not looking where she is going (which happens most of the time) she will go straight into it.  Marley can be lazy, sometimes she just doesn't want to move, but sometimes she is the most hypo dog ever and can’t stop moving.

Marely affects our family by always jumping around and being joyful. She is always up to mischief so she keeps us busy all of the time. 

Marley has a nice cozy bed in the back of our garage. She has heaps of toys like ropes, play balls and heaps more but most of all she likes playing with empty ice cream containers. 

Here is my writing on my dog Marley.

What Money Can't Buy

Here is some writing on what money can't buy.

Fun Run

Yesterday we were supposed to be having cross county, but we could not because of the world pandemic that is going on. So our school come up with an idea that we could do a fun run. For the fun run we were in our house colour groups, I am in yellow. There are all different ages in our house colour groups so we could not run to far.  The track that we had to run was around the school, on the way we had to go under, through or over things. The fasted house colour to make it all to the end one. Each house colour group went at a time. One or the teachers at our school timed the group. Sadly my house colour come 3rd out of 4 but the winners got hot chips that was green. 

Ancient Egypt

1. Osiris

2. Horac

3. ra

4. Anubic

5. Your name

Here is a actively that we had to do for our forcing on Ancient Egypt. Here is a crack the code actively.

Titanic

Explain what could have been done
to prevent this disaster.

I think what could have been done
is that the
capital of the titanic ship
should have been
more aware of what is going
on in front of
him. Or if he could not see
in front of him he
could of thought of what kind of whether
he was driving to titanic
into, also what
county it was like was it a cold country that
has heaps on ice so that
they be aware if
the capital had to turn the ship on a sharp
corner he was really.

Last week we focused on the Titanic so here is some writing on what i thick could of happen to prevent the titanic from sinking. 

buoyancy

Here is a google drawing on what i think buoyancy is by just watching a video that our teacher sent as well we were at home. Here is my work.

Autumn

Fantail-

Snowy white feathers, blowing in the wind like a flower that's lost its stalk. The fantails' big black beady eyes are threatening. 

Flax Bush-

Dark brown,sharp flax is a giraffe swaying in the cold breezy wind. It looks like a sprinkler watering the garden.

Tress-

The ruff tree  grows from a seed like a baby in a mum tummy. The different coloured leaves fall between our eyes.

Leaves - 

Red and green like the SA flag, The light bird knocking them off their long brunches.

For writing this week we had to write a poem based around Autumn.What we can see out our window is is mine.

Hide and seek

Hide and Seek 

Ready or not here i come 

I hear him and quickly duck down 

in the long wet itchy grass in the middle of the park

My legs get goosebumps 

Do not start itching he will hear you

He will never find me if i stay quit 

Did i leave the steaming oven on after i used it 

Don’t worry get low and be quiet

I hear his wet dripping shoe dragging along the ground 

The bushes blowing in the freezing cold wind

Babies crying as there mother running to there cars

He getting closer to me he is going to see me 

I whisper to him because he is my friend mike 

I say don’t find me make me win 

He gets a fright and looks at me and says 

Ok but when you are in you don’t find me

It was a dell He runs off as 

Water of his she flicks back on to my face 

And making water is fastly run down the grass

Here is my Hide and seek writing it is a poem. First we got given what to do and a expain of the poem then I started it. First i come up with were we want it to be I picked the park on a rainy day, then we had to say where we were hiding and what was the first thing that come to our carters mide. We also had to say what we could hear,who we are hiding from and what we can see. Here is my poem. Hope you feel like you are there.
