My Speech

 My speech topic is wild animals.

I chose this topic because it is very interesting.

When I presented my speech I felt a bit scared.

What I did well was eye contact.

What I could have done better was slow down.

My Speech

Speech Topic: Wild animals

Have you ever wondered why wild animals are dangerous? Well I have. You might be wondering what a wild animal is. A wild animal is an animal that lives in the wild, such as a forest and does not have an owner. They have to find their own food.

 Wild animals are dangerous because they attack and hurt people, they spread horrible diseases and they eat smaller animals. 

Firstly wild animals are dangerous because they can attack people because they feel threatened. Wild animals can attack people because the people hurt them and people destroy their territory where they live. Then they have to find a new home in the forest .

Secondly wild animals are dangerous because they spread diseases. Wild animals spread horrible diseases to other animals and people. These diseases make animals and people sick. They spread diseases like ringworm which can spread from one part of the body to another if not treated. 

Finally wild animals are dangerous because they eat smaller animals. Wild animals are dangerous to smaller animals because they have to hunt for their own food so they eat the smaller animals. Like stoats eating kiwis and wild cats eating birds.

Now that is why I strongly believe wild animals are dangerous.  They can attack humans, spread diseases and eat smaller animals.

Pancake Robot

Garden to Table

Today for Garden to Table I made a pancake Robot. I prepared the mixture, used food colouring to dye the mixture. I then used a piping bag to draw the robot with the pancake mixture. It was really hard to flip, Bex had to use lots of spatulas. When it was ready I decorated it with icing, chocolate buttons and marshmallows. Then I ate it, yummm! 

Science-Crystals

Yesterday with Miss Fletcher we made crystals using hot water and sugar/salt. We had to dissolve the sugar/salt in the water until it was saturated - would not dissolve anymore. We added food colouring then put our shaped pipe cleaner or string into the solution. We have to be patient until crystals form.

To make crystals you need sugar, hot water, a piece of pipe
cleaner or string and a drop of food colouring. Your crystals
can be green, pink, purple, and blue. First tip the hot water
into a mixing cup and put sugar in until the hot water can not
hold any more sugar. When you have done that, tip the hot
water with the sugar in it into the jar and put a drop of
colouring into the hot water then mix it in. Put the piece of
pipe cleaner in tied onto a stick resting over the opening of the
jar.
