My Dog Sunny infomation report

                                                               ~Hello FRIENDS~
In my class we have been learning how to do information reports. This is my Information report about                                                         my dog Sunny I hope you enjoy it!
                                                              Do you have a dog?

My dog Sunny

Have you ever had a dog that is VERY crazy
and emotional at the same time? Well I do.
My dog is called Sunny and he is my first ever dog.
Let me tell you all about him.

Last year I REALLY wanted a dog and I went ON and
ON about it. I went on and on about wanting a dog
for about the whole year by then my mum had said no
but I understood because she isnt a dog person and we
wouldn't have the time for one at her house because we
are always at school and work and also we live next to a
highway so that is very dangerous for a dog BUT my
dad never said no so I kept begging him. I would always
look online like on Trade Me and Facebook for dogs to
potentially adopt and then I found THE ONE. I found
the dog on trade me and it wasn't just one dog it was
actually a bunch of dogs that were the same breed.
Dad took me down the street to his friends house to
look at his dog because is was the same breed of dog
that the dogs were on trade me. When we got there
I really liked the dog and I really wanted one. Soon
after Dad said that we are going to look at the dogs
we saw on trade me so we went on about a 40 minute drive up to were the dogs were. I had a look at them and they were so cute. Dad told me that we were gonna get one and asked me what one I wanted to pick. My eyes lit up and I had a good look at all the dogs. All of the dogs were the same breed and the same age but some were white with black spots and some were white with brown spots. I immediately chose the second smallest dog he was so cute and little he has brown spots. I was so shocked that dad actually let me have a dog well I mean I was quite annoying when I was literally begging for a dog. As soon as we left with the dog I came up with a name and I choose SUNNY! I just thought that name was so perfect for him because the sun would kind of reflect off his brown face and spots. He also looked like he was full of sunshine.

Sunny is quite a lot older now, He is almost two years old and you may be wondering what breed he is and what he actually looks like other than the brown face and brown spots. Well Sunny is a Springer Spaniel and he has a long nose with a white streak going down it and big floppy ears with long fur on it. Sunny is a very silly dog and some of the stupid things hes done are run into doors,bark at my mirror at night,bark at my big shrek toy and when he goes for walks sometimes he accidentally gets himself tangled up in his leash and then he walks funny because he is tangled. Sunny loves to interact with kids and other dogs. His favourite thing to do is go swimming and play fetch on the beach. He could do that for days on end. Sunny is very hard to train. I have trained him to sit,shake hands,drop a ball,come,fetch,turn around,roll over,lay down and stand up. But he only does those things when he is focused. Sunny is surprisingly emotional. You can definitely tell when he is happy and when he is sad or scared. When he is happy his ears are up and he is usually panting because he has been running around also his eyes are lit up. When he is sad his ears are down and his eyes just show that he is sad. Also he usually leans on you when he is sad or when he just wants pats!

Sunny is very good at quite a few things. He is good at
sniffing things out which comes in very handy for
retrieving ducks. Springer spaniels are used in hunting
to retrieve ducks once they have been shot. Sunny is
getting trained to retrieve them and he is doing pretty
well because he can easily find were the duck is.
In his training we have a duck wing and we have to
rub in on the lawn and hide it somewhere then we
let Sunny come and find the wing and it usually only
takes from 15-30 seconds. The bad things about Sunny 

hunting is that he is scared of loud noises such as a
Vacuum cleaner which is not good because he needs to
be around a gun and get used to the loud noise and
know when to retrieve the duck. Also another bad thing
is that he needs to learn to be soft with his mouth
while carrying the duck because at the moment he just
thinks its a toy and you wouldn't want bite marks in
your dinner.

I love my dog Sunny so much he is
such a unique dog and no other dog
is quite like him. He is a big softy
and he loves being around people.
I think he will be good at retrieving
ducks and I hope that he enjoys the
rest of his life with me!

Turtle information report

Green Turtles
The Green turtle is a big heavy sea turtle. It has a large smooth shell. It lives in the tropics and it swims in the water but they come onto the land as well. They have been around for 110 Million years which is a VERY long time. They were around during the time of the dinosaurs. This turtle species has been on this earth for ages and it has developed many adaptations to protect itself. It has three types of adaptations: behavioural, structural and physiological.

A behavioural adaptation is that Male turtles never go
on land except for when they hatch. They stay in
the water but the female turtles have to go
onto the land to lay their eggs. Once the baby
turtles have hatched they scurry along the sand
into the water.  Also adult Female green sea turtles
somehow return to the place that they have hatched,
they must really know the area well. Also if a beach is
too cold the turtles have to find another beach that
is warmer and the warmer beach may be very far away.

These turtles have many structural adaptations such as
having flippers to swim and also they help to maintain
the speed which is something they could not live without.
The turtle's neck is non retractable and it can not move
up because of its shell. The turtle also has no teeth
because it doesn't really need them cause it has
SUCH a strong jaw. It looks kind of like a bird's beak.
They also don't need teeth for eating because they
eat crabs, sponges, clams etc. Turtles eyes face
downwards because they swim all the time and it
helps to see the bottom of the water.

When turtle eggs are ready to hatch they need to
be in an environment with the right temperature
because if they are too hot then they can die
inside the egg before they hatch and if they
are too cold then they can incubate correctly.

Leatherback turtles can keep their body warm
because they have a thick layer of fat that
attracts heat. Also the leatherback turtle can
lower their heart rate to save energy and oxygen.

Turtles are very interesting creatures and we need
to help keep beaches clean  and safe for the turtles
and other sea-life.

Kiwi adaptations report writing

Kiwi adaptations

Kiwis are beautiful native birds that are flightless
and nocturnal.They have many mammal-like adaptations
and that makes then very unique.It is highly unlikely
that you will see one in the wild because it will be sleeping
and all hidden away.Its adaptations are mainly behavioural
and structural.

Over time the kiwi has developed two main behavioural
adaptations such as being nocturnal and being flightless.
The reason kiwis don’t fly is because a long time ago most
of the birds would fly and all of the flying birds would eat
the berries from the trees and they would have to compete
with one another to get the berries. However on the ground
there are not many other birds so there is hardly any
competition for food because the flightless birds eat
food that is under the ground or on top of the soil.
Also kiwis don’t fly because it saves their energy and
kiwis need their energy for other things.  Before humans
arrived in NZ there was no predators on the ground anyway
so the Kiwis didn’t need to fly.

A kiwi also has some structural adaptations to suit their
habitat such as having nostrils on the start of their beak
to help sniff food from under the ground. Their brown
plumage helps keep them camouflaged with the dirt on
the ground. Their feathers are shaggy and hair like because
it blend in with the environment around them. They also
have whiskers on the start of their beak to help navigate
in the dark because they are nocturnal and they don’t have
very good eyesight. Long claws is another adaptation to dig
up their food that is underground. Another structural
adaptation is their beak. They have such a long beak
because as I said their eyesight is not the best and
they mostly rely on touch and smell with their beak
as they walk. They simply stop to put their beak
on the ground and feel if there are vibrations under
the ground coming from the worms and other bugs
that they are trying to catch and as soon as they
feel a vibration they start to dig. Having nostrils is
kind of hard for kiwis in a way as well as being very
helpful because sometimes they get dirt stuck in their
nostrils and then they make a snorting sound to get it
out as it is uncomfortable.

Lots of the kiwis adaptations no longer work because
people have introduced new animals into New Zealand.
Some of them can attack the kiwi.  The adaptations of
being flightless and nocturnal are useless because some
of the animals that live in the same habitat have the same
adaptations and eat both the kiwi and their eggs.

Kiwis have many adaptations that they have developed
over the years. They are flightless because it saves energy
and they don’t have to compete for food like the flying
birds do. They mostly rely on touch and smell because
their eyesight is not very good. They have a long beak to
sense vibrations coming from the worms or bugs underneath
the ground and then they dig it up immediately.
Unfortunately with the arrival of pakeha to
Nz also came many animals that are a predator to
the kiwis.  I hope the kiwi can develop more adaptations
before it is too late.

Discovering the tomb

This is my discovering the tomb writing. I pretended that I found a tomb.I hope you enjoy -Lily                                                     Discovering the Tomb

 Not long ago explorer Lily found a tomb that held a very famous person inside! While Lily was on a work trip photographing the beautiful deserts of Egypt she noticed something very peculiar.She noticed that there was something strange sticking out of the ground so she went over to take a look at it.One of her camera men had a shovel on him she didn’t know why but they just did so she used that to dig a little bit in the sand and she noticed that the thing sticking out of the ground wouldn't dig up and it was very well stuck in the ground.She thought that this could have been something amazing because the Ancient Egyptians did have a lot of things that they would bury underneath the ground.Soon after Lily called in someone with a digger and it took ages for them to get it to where Lily was but once they got it there they immediately started to dig. Hours went by and then those hours turned to days.Lily had left the desert when the sun went down that night but she came back the next day to find that what was buried under ground was actually a structure.The diggers had been digging all night and the digger man thought that the mysterious structure was a tomb.Lily was determined to find an answer so she called the local detectives to come check it out they stayed for hours and hours inspecting the structure and after 1 whole day they came to a conclusion that it was most definitely a tomb.Lily went home bursting with excitement and also lots of questions she thought that she would find more answers and find out who was buried in that tomb. To be continued…….

Fun Puzzle activity

Today my teacher Mrs P said to my class that this week for our work we have a theme and to find out that theme we had to get into our table groups and firstly we got given a envelope full of puzzle pieces to make 3 puzzles.The puzzles were a hippo a boat looking thing and a metal thing that looked like the symbol for the female gender.After solving the puzzles we got given a sheet of paper that had lots of scrambled up words on it and apparently the words had something to do with the pictures and after we had unscrambled the words we had a word find that we had to find the words on and the words were Temple,Africa,Desert,Archaeologist,Snake,Ancient,Camel and Arid.After finding the words in the word find we got given lots of maths questions to answer and after we got each question right my teacher would write a letter on the paper and that letter would be a letter in the word saying what the theme for this weeks learning is.After answering all of the maths questions we got given a map of a country and we had to figure out what country that was and it was Egypt.Lastly we unscrambled all of the letters that we got given from our maths questions and it spelt out Ancient Egypt so Ancient Egypt is our theme of our work this week. Im so exited to see what activities we do around Ancient Egypt and what new things I learn!

This is my work on the table and this is my group!

Bird poem

This is my poem about birds.For this activity I had to choose two everyday objects or things and write two poems one about each thing.I chose to write my poems about birds and one about clothes but my favourite one was this birds one so that is why i'm posting this one on my blog and not the other one.I  also don't think a clothes poem would be very interesting.Also we had to pick one of the poems and make a GIF about it so I chose to make my GIF about my birds poem so my GIF had a bird and some trees and bushes in it but I don't know how to post my GIF on my blog.-Enjoy!
