Charlotte Anne

In reading today we were learning about Charlotte Anne’s and the change she made for females. She had confidence in herself and was doing what she wanted to do and not following the rules. She was very different to other females while they were cooking and cleaning and relying on the male to make the money she made a living for herself.

India study

For inquiry we made a DLO the country that we were studying. We had to put in five facts about it, the flag, the map view and pitchers about our county. The country that I was studying was India. I found out more about India and it will help me when we travel downstairs for inquiry. 

reading

In reading this week we have been talking about the way of bias.

We read an example and a large symphony that wanted to hire musicians. The problem was that they were judging the musicians by their gender and not there music ability's. So they decided that they would do blind auditions so they can only judge them on there music. This is how the symphony overcame a bias.

when we read this we all agreed that their choice of having blind auditions was far and it would make it more even.

Blue Whale The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. The scientific name for the blue whale is the Balaenoptera muscolus. Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale.

Diet To eat, blue whales filter their food through stiff, bony, comb-like teeth called baleen plates. Their main diet is krill (small creatures that are less than 2 cm in size). A blue whale can eat up to 3,600 kilograms of krill a day during its peak consumption period. Blue whales catch their food by diving down to about 500 meters below the surface.

Habitat Blue whales are found in open oceans from the icy waters of the extreme Southern Hemisphere to the Aleutian Islands off Alaska at the northern boundary of the Pacific Ocean. Summers are spent in polar waters because food production is higher there.

Appearance Blue whales are simply enormous. Their heart is the size of a small car. A blue whale aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. They can weigh over 200,000 kilograms! Female blue whales are generally larger than males. Blue whales are light bluish gray on their dorsal side and mottled gray whitish on their bellies. Some have yellowish bellies.

Endangered species The worldwide blue whale population is not known, however, blue whales are considered endangered according to the U.S. Endangered Species Act. For many years blue whales were hunted extensively for their large quantities of baleen, blubber, and meat. Although blue whales are protected, their populations show few signs of recovery.

Blue whales are large mammals that spends their time in the icy oceans.  They only eat krill and are not a threat to any other creature in the ocean.  Blue whales face the risk of extinction if humans continue to hunt them for their baleen, blubber and meat.

In writing we were learning what the structure of a information report is. We used the highlighter tool to highlight the structure it goes in. I found out how to structure a report and what we need in it.
