Country facts

Kick Start activity 1

I learnt about Unicorns, Pegasus’s, and Alicorns. These are all mythical creatures that are made up, but people in the olden days had thought they had actually seen them.! Unicorns are like horses with horns, a Pegasus is like a horse with wings and Alicorns are like horses with wings and horns! Here is a chart with the differences between these magical horses and a fact:

You might get confused with the title, but I’ll tell you what I’m doing today. I had a go at tongue twisters! It was a bit hard, but I think I did pretty good. I had to record myself saying it in Google vids, so here it is:

Hope you enjoy!

Kick Start activity 1

Flying Squirrels?! Really?! Well yes, it is true there are such things as flying squirrels. Did you know that flying squirrels don’t actually fly? You might think I’m tricking you, but actually they glide from one tree to the other. I had to make a model of the flying squirrel with cardboard. It’s not that good, but I gave it a try. Here’s the model:

I hope you enjoyed!

Step it up activity 2

Hello again, for my 2nd activity for the task legs tally I had to dive deeper in research about the centipedes. Did you know that centipedes don’t exactly have 100 legs? Also if you do ever come across a centipede, you should leave it alone otherwise it might give a bite. It isn’t actually poisonous but, the bite is painful. Here are some facts:

This is a challenge between anteaters and aardvarks, who will win?  These are very similar creatures, but are surprisingly different. For example: Anteaters are animals that eat at day time, while the Aardvark is nocturnal and eats at night time. Anteaters and Aardvarks both have some different special abilities for defence and to eat. Let’s see which animal is the winner, along with some facts.

1. Aardvarks can hear very well with their big ears

2. Anteaters have very long tongues good for slurping all those termites, they can poke their tongue in and out 150 times per minute.

3. Aardvarks are very fast diggers, they are so fast that they are faster than a human using a shovel.

4. Anteaters humongous claws are good for digging up termites nest, but force them to walk on their knuckles.

Here is a description of what the anteater and aardvark looks like.
Anteaters have a very long and bushy tail with a mouth so small, but the nose and tongue are so long.
Aardvarks look smaller, but weigh more. They have humongous ears and small claws.

Red: Predator of lion
Orange: Both

For my summer learning journey task

today, I learnt that Octopuses can also mimic their surroundings and other sea creatures! Octopuses are amazing creatures with different abilities to defend themselves. These remarkable creatures come in different sizes, big and small! Here are three facts about the octopuses.

1. Octopuses can mimic different colours and shapes.
2. Most Octopuses only live up to between 2 or 3 years.
3. Octopus ink is very deadly, even for the Octopus itself.

Today I decided to do another activity from the Summer Learning Journey! I chose to do an activity all about Octopuses. Which are really cool and interesting animals! I think my favourite fact about them was that they have three hearts, or maybe it was that they have blue blood! Crazy isn’t it! I’m not sure there are so many cool facts. There are so many other super cool facts about Octopuses won’t be on my poster or my blog so if you are interested you should totally find them out! I hope you will be amazed and learn something new when you read some of the facts on my poster!

Here is my poster I hope you like it and you learn something new!
