Measuring

Today in math we did measuring and we had to first find out how many of our feet fit into a metre, mine was 4 feet and then we  had to count how many of our feet fit into half of the length of the netball court and double it. I was like 61x2=122 that was the length of the court and the width we had to do the same thing and i just measured to the pole and then doubled it so that one was 31x2=62.

That what we did in math

Otter

By

Sophie and Kirsten

---

Movement 

 They move by paddling their hind limbs and sculling with their tails. For rapid swimming and for diving, they swim similarly to other otters, using up-and-down undulations of the body.

---

Respiration

They also have webbed feet, water repellent fur to keep them dry and warm, and nostrils and ears that close in the water. They remain active in winter, using ice holes to surface and breathe. They can hold their breath underwater for some eight minutes

---

Sensitivity

Otters have the same sense as humans but struggle with there sight. 

---

Growth

Like most other otter species, giant otters come ashore to give birth. Females retreat to their underground dens and deliver litters of one to six young. Young otters remain in the den for a month but grow up quickly. After nine or ten months, it is difficult to tell mother from child.

---

Reproduce

They produce by having a male and a female.

Otters are ready to reproduce when they are from 2 to 3 years of age.

---

Excretion 

The Sea Otters digest food through the mouth and the excrete it though there rectum small intestine, large intestine

---

Nutrition 

They normally eat small fishes in the water, and bring larger prey to shore. Shellfish-eating clawless otters catch prey with their paws.

Preschool dance

This week Caitlyn and I have been writing up a plan for what we are going to do at the dance classes. We have taken songs that tell you what to do and are songs that young children will like and what are appropriate for them. The dances are simple and repeat steps so then they will remember them. The classes are going to be about 20 minutes long and are going to be 3 times a week.
