The triathlon was really fun. I liked the swim the best because it was really refreshing. It was nice think I finished it.

About Me

Hi! I’m Ella. I’m still 8 but I’m nearly 9. Yay!!!!! I have three pets. I also have a very annoying twin sister who is only 2 minutes younger than me. I like to play the piano. I’m really excited about being in room 9. I’m half Irish. :)

Whio shelter

This is the plan and the model I made for a blue duck shelter. I put in a door so it could escape if a predator did get in.  It has water for the duck to swim in.  When I made the model I made some modifications; I didn't make the roof a round shape because I had to use a box and it was really hard to get the box into a round shape.
Whio (Blue duck) are an endangered animal, it is our responsibility to take care of them.

Bee report

Bees

A bee does not have a backbone so it is an invertebrate.  The scientific name for a bee is Apis meillitera.

Location
Bees live in warm sunny places with lots of flowers.  Bees live in colonies also known as a bee hive.

Description
Bees are black and yellow and have a hurtful stinger.  Bees have a long antenna.  Bees have four wings and six legs.

Dynamics
Bees dance to communicate.  Bees can fly.  Bees sting if you annoy them.  Bees can only fly three miles away from home.

The bees pollinate the flowers so they won't die. If bees die out the Earth dies out.  If we don't look after bees we won't have honey.

I am responsible.
