William Pike Progress

Below is a screen shot of my progress for William Pike. 
And here is how I will fill it up:

COMMUNITY SERVICE: 0%
Sophie B and I are planning to to a jelly bean jar count, $1 a guess, and giving the proceeds to Christchurch Riding For The Disabled.
On my own I am going to be selling dog treats, and giving the money I receive to Greenpeace.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY 20%
This year our class is going on a ski trip- which I'm very excited for!
Maiah D is also taking a group of kids to Adrenaline Forest, and the cost will be $24. 

PASSION PROJECT 53%
I am planning on doing something on design- Graphic design, fashion design, interior design, jewellry design, and art- But I don't know what yet. 
I also went Snowboarding for the first time in the holidays, so that can count as passion project and outdoor activity.

MRSGREN Giraffe

MRS GREN GIRAFFE

Movement: Giraffes use all four legs to move, and of course their muscles, though when they walk they use both legs on one side then both legs on the other side. They run pretty much the same as most mammals, using their rear and front legs in unison.

Respiratory: Giraffes inhale oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, just like all other mammals.


Sensing: Giraffes use their eyes to see, ears to hear, the roof of their mouths to taste, noses to smell, and they have nerves all over their body designed to feel.


Growth: Giraffe calves can grow around 3 centimetres each day until they have developed into their full height, (4.6- 6.1m!) and by then they will be about 4 years old.

Reproduction: Giraffe breeding season can occur at any time in the wild, and births usually take place in the dryer months. They reach sexual maturity at age 6-7, though females have to be physically larger to carry their calf.

Excretion: Giraffes produce CO2, number 1’s and number 2’s

Nutrition: Giraffes are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. As you probably know, they eat leaves, branches, fruits, seeds, and buds from trees. The type of trees they eat are called Acacia trees.

Camp 2019 (this was a draft)



CAMP!!!

My favourite activity was, air rifles because it was easy to hit things and it was cool because I’d never done it before.

I challenged myself with popping balloons in archery because everyone had already popped at least 1 balloon and I hadn't. In the end I popped lots though.

I made a connection with Isla because when we were reading at night we both said we loved Stacy Gregg's books.

My favourite meal was on Wednesday night, I had veggies and a vegetarian patty (which I did not like) but the baby carrots were so juicy and probably the best veggies I’ve had! And my favourite dessert was the apple crumble on Thursday.

When I got home I watched a movie on my bed.
