Goal

 This week we had to come up with a goal to try to get to by the end of the term,we had to put something we are good at and something that we would like to get to. Here is mine 

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.

maths maintenance

Here are the first 9 out of 20 questions for each day in maths maintenance this week.

On the basketball court

On the basketball court 

 I'm running down the court as I see the basketball quickly getting passed down to the end I try to run faster, as I am running I look down and see all the different coloured lines all over the wooden ground. I look back up as the ball quickly switches straight through the hoop. I turn around and as quickly as I can run to go on defense… I see my mum, my sister and my dad all cheering me on. I stay focused on the game. There are a lot of people that are there and cheering us on with their red and white stripe pom poms bobbing up and down like fireworks . There are big basketball posters of professional basketball players on all of the walls in the stadium. It is on a Wednesday, we play every Wednesday for one whole season. It is cold outside because it is winter but I am hot because I am playing. I can hear all of the people cheering their teams on, also feet stomping on the ground as teams are playing. I look up and see the big long window that goes right across a corner in the room. I can see all of the people walking in and out of the gym sweating, and that is my special place.

This term we have been focusing on descriptive writing, this is my descriptive writing is on my special place, I did on the  basketball court  because when I am playing it makes me feel good. This is my second piece i have done this term. Since we are in lockdown the teacher had to give it to us over the Chromebook , how are you guys liking online working? Keep cheeking in on my blog I will be posting at least 4 every week.
