beaver's

Beavers are most well known for their distinctive home-building that can be seen in rivers and streams. The beavers dam is built from twigs, sticks, leaves and mud and are surprisingly strong. Here the beavers can catch their fish and swim in the water.

Beavers are nocturnal animals existing in the forests of Europe and North America (the Canadian beaver is the most common beaver). Beavers use their large, flat shaped tails, to help with dam building and it also allows the beavers to swim at speeds of up to 30 knots per hour.

The beaver colonies create one or more dams in the beaver colonies' habitit to provide still, deep water to protect the beavers against predators. The beavers also use the deep water created using beaver dams and to float food and building materials along the river.

Beavers are known for their danger signal which the beaver makes when the beaver is startled or frightened. A swimming beaver will rapidly dive while forcefully slapping the water with its broad tail. This means that the beaver creates a loud slapping noise, which can be heard over large distances above and below water. This beaver warning noise serves as a warning to beavers in the area. Once a beaver has made this danger signal, nearby beavers dive and may not come back up for some time.

as you can see in the photo that we are holding a blue ball, we are holding neptune. For topic we are doing space we got to make planets out of paper mashay first we had to get into groups i was with Sophie and Caylee our teacher got to blow up a ballon the size of a planet after we paper mashayed. After that we got to paint the colour of our planet blue with white clouds and a light blue spot. Then we had to write infomation about our planet then we handed it up with our info down the bottem. I think we could of done our clouds a bit better, i think we did the info good we got a lot in there and we made it colourful. I liked making these they look very good i would want to do it again.

Eskimo Dogs

1. Eskimo dog's temperament reflects its original work and environment. It is loyal, tough, brave, intelligent, and alert. It is affectionate and gentle, and develops a deep bond with its owner and is intensely loyal.

2. Canadian Eskimo dogs are best suited as companions for adults, rather than children, as they can be over-excitable. When used as sled dogs, they were often required to forage and hunt for their own food.

3. Consequently, many Canadian Eskimo dogs have stronger prey drive than some other breeds. Owing to their original environment, they take pure delight in cold weather, often preferring to sleep outside in cold climates. Like most spitz breeds they can be very vocal.

Q What is full of holes but still holds water!


A A SPONGE!

Dragonfly

The dragonfly is large predatory insect generally found around watery areas in both the North and South Hemispheres. The dragonfly is very similar to a damselfly but the wings on the adults are considerably different.
The dragonfly is found hovering near lakes and swamps as the dragonfly larvae (the nymph/baby) is aquatic. The dragonfly nymph is capable of producing a painful bite for human, where the adult dragonfly poses no threat.
The dragonfly is best known for its beautiful colours and the way it's body and wings sparkle when the dragonfly is flying around the water.

Dragonflies have long, thin and generally colourful bodies, large eyes and two pairs of transparent wings. As with other species of insect, the dragonfly also has six legs but it is unable to walk on solid ground. In flight the adult dragonfly can propel itself in six directions which are upward, downward, forward, back, and side to side.
Both the dragonfly and it's larvae are carnivorous animals and they feed exclusively on other small animals. The main prey of the dragonfly are mosquitoes, flies, bees and other small invertebrates. The dragonfly larvae feeds mainly on aquatic insects and their eggs.
The dragonfly is preyed upon by a number of predators around the world including birds, fish and reptiles such as lizards. The dragonfly is also commonly eaten by amphibians such as toads, frogs and large newts.


Female dragonflies lay their eggs in or near water, often on floating or emergent plants. The dragonfly eggs then hatch into nymphs. which is how most of the dragonfly's life is spent. The dragonfly nymphs live beneath the water's surface, using extendible jaws to catch other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles and fish.
The larval stage of large dragonflies may last as long as five years. In smaller species, this stage may last between two months and three years. When the larva is ready to metamorphose into an adult, it climbs up a reed or other emergent plant. Exposure to air causes the larva to begin breathing. The skin splits at a weak spot behind the head and the adult dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, pumps up its wings, and flies off to feed on midges and flies.

Initiatives

On Thursday, Room 7 got to go to a place called initiatives in the forest at living springs.

In the forest we went down a little path and down there was a big open space with all these types of activities.

Next we got to chose which one we could do, our group chose the spiders web, it was really hard.We had to go through without touching the ropes.

After that we moved on to another activity it was called the toxic river, We had to get to the other side so we decided to jump.

Lastly we got to talk with Priscilla about what was hard and what was easy.

Next time i would want to do it again because you have to think about it alot. Everyone was angry because they didn't get anywhere that's why it was hard. I enjoyed it because we got to do a mixture of boring things and fun things. Next time i want to complete another activity.
