Inquiry-living things

"A living thing has to consume,grow,breathe,adapt to its environment and perish."

My project was about Komodo dragons.

I got my information from Google because I couldn't find any books about them.

My nanna helped me by suggesting to glue sticks on the cardboard.

I like reptiles quite a lot, but I wanted to choose something different-something you'd be less likely to know about.

My favourite fact is that when they are hatched they climb trees for safety but can't climb when they get older.

If I wanted to improve next time I probably would have done some of the other monitor lizards it is related to.

Religion

The main religion in Russia is named Russian orthodox.

They believe in Jesus and Mary and the religion has been around for more than one-thousand years.

The food they eat usually depends on the wealth of the family.

The Russians main food for Christmas is hot roast pirog, Russian pies(made from meat or cabbage) and pelmeni meat dumplings.

A few weeks before Christmas many don't eat meat, eggs or milk and on the day before Christmas they hardly eat anything. They also setup the trees while children are sleeping.

Songs and carols

Children go from door to door singing carols to earn sweets.

WALT: sail an optimist yacht

First we set up the yacht, and after about 30 minutes we were done.We set them off the trailer and we were off!We weren't a great one with the wind, so we got out the paddles and started picking up speed and it was a race to bouy number 1.After a great chase mine and Max's teamwork payed off with 3rd place!We learnt to capsize and get it back up, and how steering isn't very easy at the start and to make sure your centreboard is in or you lose control!
