Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder if my ancestors learned to draw and paint like or did they learn more and more. I feel so happy to know that my ancestors were educated enough to teach the generation after them

It's like the tree, the roots are our ancestors, the trunk is our grandparents/ great grandparents, the branches are parents, aunties, and uncles and finally, the leaves are our generation that we are living in right now.

Did you know that a frog has a life cycle ? All living things have life cycle for example plants the start little then they grow up into big tree. Life cycle means a of series of stages of a living beings.

At first the female frog lays hundreds of eggs.Next the male frog fertilize the egg.Some egg get damaged due to rainfall and wind some eggs don’t survive.The eggs have protective layer called the spawn The male doesn't fertilize all the  eggs so some don’t hatch.

In a few weeks the eggs hatch and tadpoles come out.The tapoles feast on there eggs.After few days the tapole grows exteral gills just like a fish.Then the tapole tail elongates.       To be continued…

Climate Change

Have you heard about climate  change.Climate change is when countries experience changes in there climate and weather.Climate change when earth's temperature changes.There can be drastic weather changes such as the amount of rainfall or the amount of wind and sun in the place.

There are 2 types of climate change one type climate is natural climate change. This is caused by volcanic eruptions ,changes in the sun energy and the earth's orbit.

Human beings cause climate.This started in 1700 hundreds when earthlings built more buildings, cutting down trees ,burnt down coal to make energy,burnt oil to make cars move and growed more rice .This called greenhouse gases.They trap the sun's heat. This makes glaciers and ice sheet melt and makes storms stronger.

Our earth is getting sick.To help your earth make a better a better we can use cars as much and use more public transport.

Why do stars twinkle?

Why do stars twinkle?

At night have you stared at the sky and you can see the glimmering.But your eyes are tricking. Star don’t scintillate.Its just an opatical illustion.

Stars don’t filker because of the earth’s atomosphere.You can tell  the diffence bettwen a star planet.Because planets don’t twinkle.This because of strong turbulce in the atmosphere.This makes the stars fliker.

I like how you used vocab maybe next time you can work on your spelling shreya

Holiday in Cambodia

Holiday in Cambodia

“Thank you for for flying in Thai airwaves” muttered the cabin crew. It was  the school holidays! I took of my coat the sun was blazing hot.My family and l stirred to the airport.

After  all the bag checking we waited for a tuk tuk (a tuk tuk  is a small car with on windows and no door).A tuk tuk had f arrived finally.

Finally, we arrived in the hotel where we were welcomed with bitter and sweet grapefruit juice.After the the reception gave us the key to the room.

The next day  our personal tour guide arrived in an enormous van.” You are going to get hot so I bought  you some iced water” the tour guide said in his Cambodian accent

We arrived in the one and only Angkor Wat.It is the biggest Hindu temple in the world.I was flabbergasted.The temple was in ruins it was full of bulkley trees were taking over.After  we adventured the temple.”I need a break from the fiery sun’ my brother mumbled.

To be counted
