Today we learnt about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with spines. And invertebrates are animals with no spine.
Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octopus.
Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians.
Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breath through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins.
Five examples of each type are:
Mammals: Cheetah, dolphins, giraffe, squirrel, rabbit.
Birds: woodpecker, sparrow, kiwi, dove, fantail.
Reptiles: Snakes, sea turtle, crocodiles, lizards, chameleon
fish: salmon, eel, sharks, seahorses, stingray.
Amphibians: frogs, toad, salamander, newts, caecilian.

Hansel And Gretel
Today in drama we did small skits of Hansel and Gretel. Some of the groups twisted the story a bit. This a video of my group's skit that we performed. I learnt how to work together with other people. It was a great learning experience and was a lot of fun.
Science Road Show
Good Shepherd year Five and Six students went to a Science Roadshow. We were taught about different temperatures and lots of other interesting facts. One of them was that every human produces 60 KG's of waste every year. There were different experiments that we got to try out such as the spinning chair, the glass mirror, and the skeleton bike. Those were only some of the cool experiments we got to try. It was so fun and we are very lucky we got to go.
Ode Poem
In Room Five we have been writing odes. An ode is a poem that is usually dedicated to something or someone. This is my ode poem to a piece of toffee.
Oh piece of toffee!
you have a sweet sensation that's the best,
your texture crunches in my mouth like a twig snapping under my feet,
you taste like a ball of joy,
you melt my heart with your taste,
oh toffee how i adore you!
