Amazon Rainforest Wildfires

We have been learning about the fires in the Amazon Rainforest.
I enjoyed finding pictures of the animals that live in the Amazon Rainforest.
I found it hard finishing on time.
Next time I would not copy and paste. I would use my own words.

The Amazon Rainforest is home to thousands of animals, insects, and plant species. This rainforest is so beautiful and rich with vegetation that it is known as the 'lungs of the Earth.' It got its nickname because of the abundance of vegetation it contains, which takes carbon dioxide out of the air and releases fresh oxygen for us to breath. The Amazon Rainforest actually produces 20 percent of the world's oxygen.
There have been 72,000 forest fires between January and August. The fires can be seen from space. The fires are killing animals.

Caged Hens Vs Free Range Hens

We are writing persuasive texts. We are leaning to structure them.
I found it easy to do spelling and punctuation.
I found it hard to do paragraphs.

Should chickens be caged or free range? Chickens are the most common type of bird on earth. Most people raise chickens for their eggs and their meat. Caged hens are called battery hens. In New Zealand out of  3.2 million hens that lay eggs eighty two percent are caged. Caged hens have their beaks trimmed so they don't peck out their feathers or eat each other.

Caged hens are more likely to get diseases like fatty liver disease, osteoporosis and they have the weakest bone strength.

I think free range chickens are a friendly way to raise chickens because it’s not cruel it's safe and gives the chickens a positive lifestyle. Free range  eggs have better nutrition with lots of vitamin D in the yolk. Free range chickens are able to scratch and dig around in the dirt and leaves to look for things to eat. Free range chickens are able to stretch their wings and fly short distances.

I firmly believe that cage chickens should be banned because they can't fluff around, they will get fatty liver disease and they can not act  like a normal chicken.

Tom Fedro Art

This is my Tom Fedro art.
To be success full in my art piece i needed to use both sides of the paint brush, bold lines, bright colours and shades to show the light direction.
Tom Fedro lives in Chicago.

Interdependence

Interdependence is when two living things depend on each other. A giraffe has a lot of parasites living on it so it depends on the ox pecker to eat the parasites to keep the giraffe healthy. This also helps the ox pecker because the parasites are a food source for the ox pecker.

St Mary MacKillop

St Mary MacKillop
Last Thursday we went to Mass. This was a special Mass for Saint Mary Mackillops feast day.
Who is Saint Mary MacKillop?
She is a saint. Australia's first Catholic Saint
What did St Mary MacKillop do?
She travelled Australia and New Zealand and helped kids by teaching them about God and teaching them to trust in Jesus.
How did Mary Mackillop become a saint?
In June 1995 Mary MacKillop was beatified by Pope John Paul II. A woman claimed that her cancer had disappeared after praying to Mary Mackillop through prayer. This is the Miracle that Pope Benidict needed to be able to recognise Mary Mackillop as a saint. Mary was canonized October 2010. Canonized means to declare a dead person to be a saint.

Things I do Not Like

we are learning to write poems.
I enjoyed voice typing.
I found hard rembering things that I bo not like.

I do not like doing homework.  
I do not like the ‘soccer skins’ on Fortnite. 
I do not like it when my brother dies on Fortnite because he rages, 
And I do not like reading books.
I do not like playing with my brother Kingston.
