I have been reading this book  about extraordinary insects and I have found out that there is a midge that lives in Africa and its larva (young) spends its life in small puddles of water that are constantly drying out.  This creature can cope with a loss of up to 97 per cent of the water in its body whereas, we humans can only cope with losing 14 per cent!  When the larva are in a dried up state, they can cope with pretty much anything:  you can boil them, dip them in liquid nitrogen, soak them in spirit, expose them to cosmic radiation for years, or simply leave them alone and they can survive for up to 17 years!  To wake them up again, simply add water.  That’s amazing.  I decided to do some insect art – these are some place mats I have painted – I still have two more to do.  Mrs. Madden.

dad thinks the question is 2 x 12

Today I wasn’t to busy. First I woke up late because I had to to my dad. For breakfast I had a pancake with Nutella it was so yummy. Then when I got to my dads my mum and dad spoke for a wee while. My feet were getting so cold that I had to run up and get some. For lunch I had savoury eggs. After that I went on a walk a while later we were out for about 1 hour. We watched a movie after tea it was called sunshine on leith it was so good. I had watched that movie 2 more times in less of 2 weeks. I brought it over because my dad has not watched before. For tea we had chicken topped haggis. We also had mashed potato also carrots.

Today I have been chilling. I have was on my trampoline for a long time. My sisters were doing there exercises for something on Facebook. For lunch I had beans and toast with black pudding and potato scones. Me and my sister (Cameron) have been watching a hospital series in bed.                                                       That’s really what I have done today. Bye guys see you soon. By Orla

Mum and I made this stop motion movie today. I sprayed a random mini fig gold to create the magical statue character. It took me a while to find the other mini figs in the Lego box.

Buenas tardes a todos!

So last night I attempted to post a recipe for a mouth watering fish curry recipe that could have come straight out of the Jewel In The Crown; halfway through it, my eyes refused to remain open…so sleepy!

Thought I would finish it off today but have had such a run-around on the computer that three hours later, I’ve lost my mojo!  In the meantime, thought I’d share the pictures that tell the story of my culinary mis-adventures.

Will get back to it…eventually. In the meantime, here’s a challenge:

Who can create a recipe based on the images; any takers?

•  Identify the ingredients
• Preparation
• Method

Hasta luego a todos!

Hi everyone! Rory here.

Hello everybody! Its Cleo. I am going to be talking about our praying mantises.

There are many different types of praying mantis. We have a Blue Malaysian mantis and a Chinese mantis (Hes the one in the bottom left corner!) They will both grow to about 9cm but you get some smaller species too.

Mantis eat other insects. While they are little fruit flies are the best as they are small and non-harmful. They use their front legs called raptors to grab their  pray!

We need to mist their enclosures once a day as they like a certain  level of humidity.

I like them because they do a little dance and the reason they do this little dance is to check out their surroundings.
