Facts about moa's

This week we have been learning about a moa

  

These are some facts about a moa: They were large flightless birds. They lived only in New Zealand, and are now all  There were eleven species in six genera of Moa. The largest and best known were the genus Dinosaurs, which grew up to 3.6 meters 12 feet tall, and weighed as much as 230 kilograms 510 pounds. Before the arrival of human settlers, the moa's only predator was the massive Haast's eagle. New Zealand had been isolated for 80 million years and had few predators prior to human arrival, meaning that not only were its ecosystems extremely fragile but the native species were ill-equipped to cope with human predators.

My quarantine

 My lock down story 

My  quarantine was pretty fun because every morning I didn't have to get up at 7:30. But since it was quarantine I got to get up at 9:00. But  even better I didn't have to rush. I could just take my time. Then at about 10:00 I started doing some of my online learning then when it was 11:00 I had a piece of fruit or a sandwich then I carried on with my work till 1:00 and that was my lunch time. After lunch I finished my work til it was 3:00. Then I was free and after I was done school for the day we played some games and watched some movies that was my quarantine.

Life cycle of butterflies

Life cycle of butterflies

Introduction: butterflies are a large group of insects belongings to the order lepidoptera which 

Means scaly wing they are characterized by their large often colorful wings and by their proboscis which they use to suck flower nectar.

Paragraph1: a butterfly starts life as a very small round oval or cylindrical egg. The coolest thing about butterfly eggs, is that if you look close enough you can actually see the tiny  caterpillar growing inside of it. Some butterflies eggs may be ribbed while others may have other features. The egg shape depends on on the type of butterflies

That laid the egg.

Paragraph2: when the egg finally hatches  most of you would expect for a butterfly to emerge right well not exactly in the butterflies life cycle there are four stages and  this is only the second stage. Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillars do not stay in this stage for very long and mostly in this stage all they do is eat.

my life cycle of a frog

 

Introduction: the frogs are some of the few remaining members of the amphila a group which flourished 250 million years ago.other present-day members of the group are the toads newts and salamanders.

1. The life cycle of a frog consists of three stages egg, larva, and adult. As the frog grows, it moves through these stages in a process known as metamorphosis. Frogs are not the only animals to undergo metamorphosis; most other amphibians also undergo remarkable changes throughout their life cycles, as do many species of invertebrates. During metamorphosis, two hormones, prolactin and thyroxine, control the transformation from egg to larva to adult.

2. At approximately 12 weeks of age the  tadpole's gills and tail have been fully absorbed into the body meaning that frog has reached the adult stage of its life cycle. It is now ready to take a journey out onto dry land and in time repeat the life cycle.

Many species lay their eggs in calm water among vegetation, where the eggs can develop in relative safety. The female frog lays numerous eggs in masses that tend to clump together in groupings known as spawn. As she deposits the eggs, the male releases sperm onto the eggs and fertilizes them
