Explanation: Cats Whiskers

Walt: Write an explanation

Cats Whiskers

Cats whiskers are  vital to  cats. Without whiskers, cats can be very lost and they won't know what to do. Cats have twelve whiskers on each side of their nose. Here is why they need their whiskers.

Firstly the cats whiskers are super helpful. How does the whiskers help the cat to get through a hole? The cats whiskers are like measuring tapes and it is the same length of their body. If the cats whiskers touch the sides of the hole, that means it can not fit through the hole. If their whiskers don't touch the sides of the hole then they  can fit through.

Secondly it is obvious to tell what the cat is feeling by looking at its whiskers. If the cats whiskers are straight, that means that it is relaxed. When the cats whiskers are facing forward that means there is something for dinner close by. The cats whiskers will be back if they are afraid.

Lastly their whiskers should never be cut off. If the cats whiskers are cut off then they will not remember where they are and they might run away. If their whiskers are cut off, they will not know what to do.

Cats are very happy with their whiskers. Just take very good care of them.

Explanation: How to move a big tree

Walt: write an explanation

How to move a big tree.

Big trees take up a lot of space and it is hard to move around. It is very difficult to move a big tree.  

First prune the tree with a chainsaw. Do that because thats how the tree survives when it is going to move to a different place.

Next make a square around the tree and mark it with paint. Do that because it makes it easier to find where to dig. Use a trench digger to dig around the square. Do that because it will be easier to dig.

After that borrow a long truck with a big crane on it. Then attach a wire on the big tree. Clamp wood around the trunk. Do that because the wire would damage the tree trunk.

Finally pull the tree out of the ground and place it sideways on a long truck. Do that to take it away to its new place.

Now it has gone to a different place. Once it is gone, play around and enjoy having the free space.

Doubles



I am learning to do multiplication. The problem is 683 x 2. I used my two times tables to solve my problem. My answer was 1366. This is how I got my answer.
600 x 2 = 1200
80 x 2 = 160
3 x 2 = 6


1200 + 160 + 6 = 1366

It was really easy. Next I want to learn how to do square roots.

Tevaevae

We did a reading comprehension about Cook Island Tevaevae and I created my own Tevaevae using sumo paint.
