Christmas around the globe.

We are learning about Christmas traditions around the world Today I learned that ...

in Sweden Christmas eve is known as julafton.  This is a day for parties,eating,drinking and present giving. Christmas food is special prepared cooked cod fish
 and and rice porridge.

in Italy people eat and drink very little on Christmas day because this is a special day if prayer. They have beatific cribs n their churches and homes. Italians share Christmas gifts on January the 6 remembering the Three wise men who brought their gifts to Jesus.

In Australia its very hot and he needs to cool down so the kids of Aussie leave out a nice cold beer.

The pigeon wants a walrus!

This week we have been reading a series of books about a pigeon we had to pick out of four of them out of the four i picked the one that thought was the most interesting and fun. The pigeon wants a walrus. The story i picked is about a pigeon who wanted a dog but when he finally got one he didn't like it so he started begging for a Walrus.

Please give me feed back


Does the pigeon really need a walrus for a pet?”

Well I think he should get one because you never know when it would come in handy.
For an example just last week a dog tried to eat the pigeon and if that ever happened again the walrus could be the pigeons bodyguard. The walrus could be the hero and scare all the pigeon;s enemies away.

The pigeon could make an excuse to get a bigger house so the walrus could fit. If the walrus’s friends or family wanted to come over there would be plenty of space. If the walrus considered to make a family he could make another excuse to get a even bigger house.

If the pigeon was in any trouble he could go get all the walrus's friend and family and make a walrus army. To take down all the predators he has had trouble with and to make the hole world predator free.

I think the pigeon should get a walrus because even if none of these things happen they could still become best friend even though  there differences.

Do you agree with me?

Alarm call

For writing this week have been learning how to right interesting and fun stories with a twist at the end.



ALARM CALL

One cold dark night a ugly, green ,furious Creature was creeping and sneaking along trying to find kids to eat, but out of the side of his eye he got  a glimpse of something better,tastier  a nice soft, cute ,kitten. He said to himself ‘ooww I want it’


The wicked Creature was creeping up on the fuzzy Kitten.  The hideous beast had his hands out with his sharp, rotten nails which could rip into the Kittens soul . Meanwhile  as the Creature was sneaking up on the kitten, the floor made a noise CREEEEEEEK! The Creature pauses in awkward position waiting to see if the cat would notice but what the beast  doesn’t know is that the kitten is already awake and he is a master of catfu. As the creature tip toes over to pick up the kitten, it strikes POW! BAM! KABAM!

The creature is as scared of the cat as a lamb looking into the eyes of a ferouis lion. They heard a noise so they stopped  THUMP! THUMP! The cat's owner runs down the stairs
What's going on down here!

Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms

One of the deadliest weather features known to Mankind! are Thunderstorms! they have many attributes like Lightning,Thunder and much more.

The basic ingredients used to make a Thunderstorm are moisture unstable air and lift. You need moisture to form clouds and rain. You need unstable air that is relatively warm and can rise rapidly. Finally you need lift This can form from fronts sea breezes or mountains.
Lightning is an electric current within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice that bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge after a while the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and ZAP!...  lightning strikes!
Thunder is caused by lightning when a lightning bolt travels from the cloud to the ground it opens a hole in the air called a channel. When all the air collapses back in and creates a sound wave that we hear as Thunder. we see lightning before we hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound. Thunderstorms Are caused by lightning depending in the distance and the nature of the lightning. Thunder can range from a sharp crack to a long loud rumble. The sudden increase in pressure and the heat from lighting makes rapid growth of the surrounding air and within a bolt of lightning .
Rain is one of the most common weather features that people get. Sometimes rain Is a good thing it helps farmers grow crops and a howl bunch of other things and if there was no rain we would be living on a desert! And sometimes rain is bad because it causes floods almost 113 times each year and it reacts people's lives every year.

I like Thunderstorms because of all the attributes that a Thunderstorm has. My favorite features of Thunderstorms are lightning,rain and clouds.

Robert Falcon Scott

Robert Falcon Scott is a British Explorer he was born the on 6 of June 1868 in Plymouth, United Kingdom. who traveled to Antarctica to try and make it to the center of Antarctica.
Robert Falcon Scott and four companions – Henry Bowers, Edgar Evans, Lawrence Oates and Edward Wilson were trying to be the first people to ever reach Antarctica.
They left to reach Antarctica on the 17th of January 1912 he arrived to Antarctica 2 weeks later on a boat when he saw that Roald Amundsen beat him there they started to head back a couple days later when they hopped on their boat started to shrivel up because of the ice and the freezing cold water.
They had to abandon the boat they were stuck on iceberg for a couple of days but unfortunately they all died of starvation and hypothermia.

fixed and growth mindset

During power time we have been learning about fixed and growth mindsets. We watched a short video about Luke sky-walker and Yoda Lifting a X-wing out of a lake. Luke had a fixed mindset. A Fixed mindset is when you don`t believe in yourself and say you cant do anything Yoda taught him how to have a growth mindset. A growth mindset is when you believe in your self and give everything a try We talked about what we could say to ourselves to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. here is my DLO.

Cool Antarctica


Cool Antarctica

Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, highest and driest continent on Earth.
If you go to to Antarctica you will more than likely need more than 1 layer over wise you will freeze like a ice block so it would be a good idea to have a couple layers. The coldest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 89.2 C and the hottest temperature in Antarctica is -17.5 C. 90%. If you're in Antarctica you will more than likely see animals such as penguins,seals  and whales but those aren't all the animals in Antarctica because there are roughly around 68 species all throughout Antarctica. The largest iceberg ever measured in Antarctica  is bigger than Jamaica 11,000 sq km (4,200 sq mi). It broke away from Antarctica in 2000. If you're in antarctic all you will see is white and a bit of blue for miles some glaciers on the way and sometimes just flat ground and animals.

I like Antarctica because of the animals and i find it fascinating about the history of the explorers but the main reason i like Antarctica is because of the scenery.
