Donnacha's Report about Gorillas

Gorilla Report

There are interesting monkeys, but the one I am interested in is the gorilla.

A gorilla is a mammal it is warm blooded there young drink their mother's milk. Mammals give birth to living young.

Gorillas have very strong arms to kill its prey.  Gorillas are very dangerous they are even endangered. Some gorillas are black but very hairy. Gorillas are very heavy.

Gorillas live in the jungle or the mountains forest. Their diet is bananas or apples and berries.

Its adaptation is to swing away with its arms or predator.

If we get too close to a gorilla we will catch its disease. Gorillas are endangered. There are two different type of species of gorillas.

Gorillas are mammals. They are warm blooded. Their young drink their mother's milk.

The panther is a large member of the cat family. The panther is actually a black feline leopard or jaguar. Even though they are not a real species itself it is endangered. The panther is native to America, Africa and Asia.The panther is adapted to a variety of habitats around the world.

Some panthers are able to swim in water although not those that are leopards, but as jaguars have a real love of water.

Panthers are dark brown or black. They have small heads and long bodies with strong jaws. They also have emerald green eyes and have their hind legs that are larger and slightly longer than those at front.

The panther is found in Tropical and deciduous forests.The panther can also be found in swamplands and grasslands and even more hostile areas. They are even found in south America,Asia,Africa,USA and variety of habitats. The panther is a carnivore and eats deer,warthogs,wild boar tapir and antelope. They sometimes eat smaller species like birds and rabbits when larger prey is scarce.

The panther has black or brown fur to help it camouflage and it is an incredible and agile animal. The panther is nocturnal and sleeps in the trees.

The panther is considered to be one of the most intelligent and ferocious predators in America so they use panther pictures for logos and mascots.

Although panthers are not considered to be a species by science many animal wildlife experts consider this animal to be endangered all around the world.

Broadbean Bonanza

It's an exciting Enviro Day today, because over the weekend lots of mums and dads have helped to make our edible gardens much bigger! We went down first thing, with Mrs Daniel, to see. They look fantastic!!

While we were visiting the gardens we harvested some broadbeans and took them back to class. Next we sketched and labelled the pods and beans. Then we shelled, cooked and ate the beans.

While we worked, we collected data about our broadbeans. We discovered most pods have 4 or 5 beans. The most beans in a pod was 6 and the  least was 2. The pods are about 15 cm long. The biggest beans were nearly 3cm long. Eighteen children out of 24 liked the taste of the cooked broadbeans and six thought they were yuck.

What a fun way to help the Earth and do sketching, science & statistics!
