This week for literacy we have been given the task of creating something that can help a paralympian so I chose to make a devise for a leg amputee for swimming. My Idea was to put a waterproof flipper on the foot part so that they could go faster. the flipper can also be easily taken off and swapped for a normal foot so that the amputee has a 2 in 1 leg. it will also be able to move just like a normal human leg.

This week we had to create an artwork for Mary so I used pixel art to create my art.

It has the sun in the top left corner a cloud in the top right corner a light with gradient coming down from the sky with Mary and a halo levitating above the mounds below.

Have you ever used pixel art?

Yesterday my mum and I went to NACH ( Northlands Animal Care Hospital ) because my cat Toffee had an appointment for 2 vaccinations.

In the morning we didn’t let Toffee outside because otherwise she would be long gone and we wouldn’t be able to capture her in her cage. As soon as we got her in the cage we got into the car and went off to the vet. As we entered the building we were greeted by a nice lady that told us that they had many dogs waiting for their check-up so she gave us a blanket to put around her cage so she wouldn’t see the dogs and get scared. Toffee was trembling because of the sad-ish cry’s of a dog in the back and then it was finally our turn after waiting an extra 15 mins for the vet. when we got into the room the vet talked a bit and then brought out some eye drops to see if Toffees nose was blocked. she skillfully put the red drops in Toffees eyes and said it should come to her mouth and nose as a green colour. The vet then opened Toffees small mouth and it has greeny-yellow so that was fine. Next she got the vaccinations for Toffee and jabbed her and then asked if we had any other thing we needed done to Toffee or if we had any issues and my mum said that last time we went the vet checked out Toffees teeth so the vet checked and said that Toffee had some tartar on her right side of her mouth and said that we can get it removed so my mum said yes and we later got Toffee back from the vet and we got told not to let her out until tomorrow because she might still feel sleepy after the anesthesia.

Question: Has Your Pet Ever Been To The Vet For 4 Hours Or More?

In Term 2 Week 8 We Went On A Trip To The Groynes.

First we saw some of the Groynes (A bunch of concrete and rocks that had hardened up inside of a bag and the bags had disintegrated). Next we walked on a wobbly bridge to get to the other side of a river. After that we looked at some of the vegetation and then went water bug catching and played a game about the food chain.

This Is My Random Stuff No:8 What Is A Tasmanian Devil?

Tasmanian devils are robust, carnivorous marsupials native to the island of Tasmania, known for their stocky build, black fur, and fierce demeanor. As the world’s largest carnivorous marsupial, they play a crucial role as scavengers in their ecosystem, feeding on carcasses and thus helping to keep their environment clean. Tasmanian devils are also known for their powerful jaws and sharp teeth, capable of crushing bones. They are solitary and nocturnal animals, with a keen sense of smell and hearing that aids them in locating food. Unfortunately, Tasmanian devils are facing a significant threat from a contagious cancer known as Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), which has decimated their population. Conservation efforts, including breeding programs and research into the disease, are vital to protect and preserve this unique species from extinction.

Welcome to random animal stuff no: 7 what is an orangutan?

Orangutans are highly intelligent and critically endangered primates native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are the largest arboreal mammals, spending most of their lives in trees, where they use their long arms and strong hands to move gracefully among the branches. Known for their distinctive reddish-brown hair and expressive faces, orangutans have complex social behaviors and exhibit remarkable problem-solving abilities. They are primarily frugivorous, with a diet mainly consisting of fruit, but they also consume leaves, bark, and insects. Orangutans play a vital role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds and maintaining forest health. However, they face severe threats from habitat destruction due to logging, palm oil plantations, and illegal hunting. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring the survival of these remarkable apes and the preservation of their rainforest habitats.

This is random animal stuff no: 6 what is an aye aye?

The aye-aye is a unique and fascinating primate native to Madagascar, renowned for its distinctive appearance and remarkable adaptations. It possesses large, sensitive ears, a bushy tail, and an elongated middle finger that it uses to tap on tree trunks and locate insects through echolocation. This nocturnal animal then uses its specialized finger to extract larvae from the bark, showcasing an extraordinary example of evolutionary specialization. Despite its unusual look, which has led to superstitions and myths among local populations, the aye-aye plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by controlling insect populations and aiding in forest health. Unfortunately, it is considered endangered due to habitat destruction and hunting, underscoring the need for conservation efforts to protect this remarkable species and its habitat.

This is random animal stuff number 5. What is an elephant?

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, renowned for their intelligence, complex social structures, and impressive memory. They are distinguished by their long trunks, which are versatile tools used for breathing, grasping objects, and communication. Elephants are also known for their large ears, which help regulate their body temperature, and their tusks, which are elongated incisor teeth that can be used for digging, lifting objects, and defense. These majestic creatures are primarily found in Africa and Asia, inhabiting diverse ecosystems ranging from savannas and forests to deserts and marshes. Sadly, elephants face significant threats from habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts crucial to ensure their survival. Their intricate behaviors, such as mourning their dead and displaying empathy, underscore their profound emotional capacity and the importance of protecting these remarkable beings.
