Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday my mum, sister and I went on a scavenger hunt in Ruffey Lake Park.
Here are some of the things we had to find:
                                                                    A Fence

                                                                          Water

                                                                         Clouds

                                                                        Dark

                                                          Something close up

                 
                                                               Something Blue

 And Something That Is Your Favorite Colour

Farts, why they happen and where they come from.
By Jane Brain of the Daily Brain.

'I get quite a few letters from the people of the world and they are usually excellent reviews of the Daily Brain but I get quite a few that ask for a report on farts, so that is what I'm going to give you right now.'

We fart because...

1. Sometimes air get into our digestive system and forms a bubble of air which travels though our intestines and comes out the bottom.

2. Farts are so smelly because in our intestines there is a build up of bacteria and waste products and that's what makes the smell.

3. Farts don't come out our noses because our noses aren't at the bottom of our body.

4. The hole in the bottom of our bottom is very small and our farts are usually big and they come out with such force that they make a noise.

'I hope this report on farts helped you with whatever you wanted to know about farts, if it wasn't please comment at the bottom of the page.' \/ \/ down here! \/ \/ thank you.

Why the brain is squiggly.     by Jane Brain   of The Daily Brain.

Our brain is squiggly and wrinkly because it's extra big and if it wasn't all bunched up then it would be three times as big, And we'd have to have very big heads.

There are five different parts of the brain.

The biggest is called the Frontal Lobe. 

It coordinates body movements and controls thoughts.

It also helps you speak.

The second biggest part of the brain is called the Temporal Lobe.

It helps you hear and recognize sounds.

The third part  of the brain is the Parietal Lobe.

It does the senses of the the brain such as touch, smell and taste.

The fourth part is called the Occipital Lobe.

It recognizes images and helps you see.

The final part is the Cerebelium and it tells you how to move.

It also remembers hard movements like dancing.

I have also written a poem about the brain.

'Brain O Brain, oh way up there,

Without you I wouldn't be here.

You are so squiggly,

You are so wrinkly.

Brain O Brain way up there.'

Thank you for reading my column!

Be sure to read tomorrows copy of The Daily Brain because it will be about flowers and who doesn't like flowers?

A day at the aquarium.

A few days ago we went to the 

Aquarium and we saw thousands of

fish. 

Here are a few.

 It was really fun going to the

Aquarium.

I had some work to do there.

I drew some animals that I liked,

such as

The Alligator Pipefish,

Lionfish,

Long Necked Turtle &

The Southen Blue Devil.

I also found names of ocean

animals for almost every letter of the alphabet.

A:Axolotl, Aligator Pipefish.

B:Blind Cavefish.

C:Clown Loach.
D:Desert Goby.
E:Eel-Tailed Catfish.

F:Foxface Rabbitfish.

G:Gray Nurse Shark, Giant

Cuttlefish.

J:Jellyfish.

K:Keyhole Cichlid.

L:Lionfish, Leopard Shark.

M:Mary River Turtle, Murry River

V:Nothing :(

W:Weedy Sea Dragon.

X:Nothing :(

Y:Yellowtail Kingfish.

We had lunch there, then we caught

the train to Mitcham Station and

then we walked home from there.

And that was the end of our big

Aquarium day.

ANZAC day march.

On sunday for brownies we did an ANZAC day march.
ANZAC day is to remember all the soldiers who died in Gallipoli in the first world war.
It was a very cloudy day and everyone was watching us while we were marching.
We marched from Ringwood car park to the clock tower.
It really hurt your legs after a little while but it was fun at the same time.

 

                      

 

 

 

 

Book review

 My (Most Excellent) Pet Project.
By Karen McCombie.

Indie is a ten year old girl who has to write a project for school. Her mother works at a research centre for pets and that is where Indie gets most of her information.  The book is actually Indie's project. It is full of information about lots of different animals and how to look after them.

The book was ok. It had nice illustrations and it was explained easily.  I think children would enjoy it if they like animals.  I knew quite alot already because it was about animals that I knew about, like rabbits and guinea pigs.
I didn't like bits of it because it was too hard to understand the big words.

My Bunnies and Guinea Pigs.

My bunnies and guinea pigs are the cutest things!
