Learn , Create , Share.
Yesterday our class Room 11 went to the library. We went to share our e - books on basketball with the little children from room 8. I read with Eden. I read first then she went after me. I helped Eden with the difficult words because she had a lot of trouble trying to figure out what the words were. When Eden finished reading my e - book I asked her questions. I asked her what she found hard about reading the e - book and she just said that the words were hard to say.

Mikayla Using vegetables to make dyes.

Today I have been learning about vegetable dyes. As you can see this is beetroot dye. It is bright. I thought the colour was the brightest on the toweling but not on silk and cotton. I had an awesome day today and I hope we do this next year.

This game is called Sumdog. I am focusing on my reading skills. I had to figure out what the missing word was for the sentence to make sense. The answer for this sentence is jam. Reading on Sumdog is really easy for me.  Next time I do reading on Sumdog, I want to practise my grammar.

Ifa Cats Whiskers


Walt: Write an Explanation

Cats have special whiskers it helps them feel what's around. It is also useful.

First Cats have twelve whiskers on each side. There are twenty four whiskers all together. When the whiskers are straight it means it is happy and when it is yummy it points up. When the whiskers point back it is scared.

There is also whiskers at the back of the two legs. The cats cannot look from a close range because when they are very close they won’t be able to see properly. That is why there is a whisker at the front of its leg because the  nerves send a message to the brain.

When the cat is going to catch a rat it can sneak up to the rat without bumping into chairs and tables. Also never cut a cat's whiskers because cats will not know what they are doing. A cats whiskers are vital to cat because if they lose their whiskers they will be lost like you having know fingers

Cat whiskers are helpful to cats because it can sense stuff that are close or near the cat.
