Back for another chat; it’s Caspian!

Today we had music and listened to Alexander Borodin’s Prince Igor and the Polotsvian Dancers. The music was based on a tribal dance. It also had my name in the opera lyrics! 🙂

In reading, it took a while because I was working in a 6035 page dictionary, looking up tricky and interesting words. We also did some bird watching by putting bread in the garden and using five bar gates to help us record numbers and species. I saw 28 sparrows!

Bye!

I did music, maths, reading, spelling and some bird watching. I fed the birds some bread then I went inside to see who visited my garden. I wrote down how many birds came for lunch. I saw sparrows, blackbirds, a magpie, a robin, rooks and a wood pigeon.  I hope everyone is enjoying home school like me. Bye, see you tomorrow. x

Today I have done a poster about sharks. Recently I have been watch shark documentaries so I thought I would do a poster about them and here’s the result. Hope you like it.

Shark Facts:

• There are over 500 species of shark.
• ¼ of these species of shark are endangered
• Sharks are apex predators.
• They have several rows of teeth which can be replaced thousands of times
• Sharks vary dramatically in size. The smallest shark is at the Dwarf Lantern shark reaching 20 cm. The biggest shark is the whale shark reaching 12 m.
• Sharks live in most ocean habitats.
• Most sharks are cold-blooded except the great white shark which is partially warm-blooded which helps it go faster while hunting.
• Sharks live in the UK as well basking sharks which reach 11 m in length, they are the second biggest fish in the world roughly the same size and weight as a double-decker bus.
• Sharks have 6th sense they can sense small electric fields from their prey this sense is located on their snouts.
• They have been around for 400 million years long before the dinosaurs.
• Their skeletons are made of cartilage the same substance our noses are made of not bone.

Are sharks Dangerous?

Although sharks have a bad reputation most sharks aren’t very dangerous. There is one in 3.7 million chances of you being attacked by a shark there is more chance of you getting killed doing a selfie than there is being killed by a shark.

65% of the people attacked by sharks as surfers because in the low visibility of the water the shape of the surfboards looks like their prey.

Out of 15 billion people in the water 50 to 100 people will be attacked every year. The more you go in the more likely you get attacked because shark thinks you are a threat.

Save our sharks!

Hi everyone,

I just saw these STEM challenges and thought I would share with you all. I would like to try a couple of them myself.

If you do any of these experiments please share them with us!
