Swimming Sports! 2016

Swimming Sports !

Thump! Thump! We slowly stroll on the ragged concrete.Splash! The wind wipes Rubi’s auburn hair as she quickly dives into the cool water.The pale tents wave to say good luck as I perch nervously on the edge of the pool.Bang! Goes the clapper fearfully I leap into the pool.The water kiss’s me with those sloppy blue lips.The lane ropes dance gleefully as I smack The wall.Suddenly the water starts clapping as I leap out of the pool.I took one last glance over to see the emerald flags waving goodbye before wandering back to my school house.

If I were a tree

  If I were a tree,

I would stand tall and proud like a peacock.

I would sway happily  as the cool summers breeze refreshes me.

I could beat the ugly auburn leaves until they fall into the shimmering stream.

The wood would slowly shatter unwanting to be firewood.

At night I would see the tree happily staring up at the glistening stars.

About Me 2016!

                        About Me 2016!

Hi my names Aylee! My two best friends are Rubi and Charli and my teacher is
awesome Mrs Hobbs! On the weekends I love to spend time with our pony at
my nans or play sport as in netball,athletic's or touch.At school I had always
wanted Mrs Hobbs as my teacher and my favourite subjects would probably 
be PE, Art and Inquiry. I have a family of 4 but mum is due at the end of 
April I kind of want it to be boy but I don't really care. I think I'm up for a cool
                                                 year with Miss Hobbs!

                                                    

Term 4 Inquiry - Technology

My animal is the Brown Kiwi.

What does my animal need in its enclosure?

Moss, dead leaves, some little insects and bugs for them to eat, a couple of dead stumps (punga), dirt, a small stream and it also has to be dark so lights.

What features did I add just for my animal and how are they helpful

I added a big punga with a hole in the middle for the kiwis to sleep in and also for shelter. I also put in some green and green and yellow moss so that there would be some small bugs and insects for the kiwis to eat.

Did I make any changes and why did I decide to do that?

Yes, I had to move some moss and sticks so that there was room for the egg shells and the kiwis to perch.

Bottlenose Dolphins Report Writing

BOTTLENOSE  DOLPHINS

^{Aylee Gane}

Bottlenose dolphins are a type of mammal and fish. The Latin name for Bottlenose dolphins is tursiops truncatus.

Description           

The bottlenose dolphins beak creases like the neck of a bottle (that’s part of how they got their name.) Bottlenose dolphins are the largest of the beaked dolphins. The Bottlenose dolphins are usually dark grey on the back, lighter grey on the sides and pinkish white on the belly. Some Bottlenose dolphins can be pinkish brown all over.

Habitat

Bottlenose dolphins live in the ocean but can sometimes be seen jumping out of the water. At night, dolphins rest just below the surface of the water. Their habitat is pretty safe, though, it would be completely safe if those horrible fishing boats would stop putting out their nets for dolphins sometimes get stuck in them.

Dynamics

These cool creatures can be seen flipping out of the water (up to five metres) before crashing back down with a SPLASH! There are reasons to why they do this-it could be to get a better view of things in the distance, to clean parasites off of their bodies, communicate with other pods or just for fun!

Diet

Bottlenose dolphins eat a variety of food such as small fish, eels, catfish, mullet, squid and shrimp. Dolphins catch their food mainly using two techniques which take a lot of teamwork. Herding is when the dolphins surround schools of fish and take turns to eat while the other dolphins keep the school as packed as possible. Corralling is similar to herding but they need fewer dolphins to do it because they use the shore as half of the circle. They take their turns by swimming through the school to get their food.

Thankfully, bottlenose dolphins are not classed as endangered. Unfortunately, illegal hunting, fishing nets and pollution pose threats to these incredible creatures. To help dolphins, people should ban fishing in the dolphins habitat.
