7 Conclusion -       

Early childhood - David Attenborough grew up in London in a University College called Leicester because his dad was the principal there. He collected fossils, stones, and natural specimens when he was young. He was asked by the zoology department if he wanted to collect Newts for them and he would be paid for it. He did collect Newts for the university, but he did not tell them that he was getting them from a pond less than five meters away from the zoology department. He got paid 3 pence for each newt. He went to Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys where he won a scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge in 1945.



 Family - David Attenborough is the middle child of three, his brothers are Richard Attenborough and John Attenborough. His parents adopted two Jewish refugees during WW11. Their names are Helga Bejach and Irene Bejach. His parent’s names are Frederick Attenborough and Mary Attenborough. David Attenborough had a wife called Jane Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel and they had two kids called Robert Attenborough and Susan Attenborough.


 Documentaries - David Attenborough’s documentaries have made people more aware that animal numbers have gone down fast and that we need to work out ways it to STOP this!!! He wants people to watch them because he needs people to see that the plants and animals are not going to last long if we keep polluting Earth. Global issues - David Attenborough does not have a driving license or a car. He says that it is more pollution in the air. If he wants to go somewhere, he uses public transport because lots of people are using one car to go places. David Attenborough believes that if we keep going the way we are, polluting the earth, there will be a mass extinction of many of the world’s animals and plants.

He is the only person to have won BAFTAs (British film award) for programs in black and white, colour, HD, and 3D. He was born on 8 May 1926. He has about 19 different plants and animals named after him. He has been to every country in the world and filmed there.  Sir David Attenborough is 94 years old.






Conclusion - Sir David Attenborough does not count himself as an animal lover but instead says he has always been fascinated by them. “Ever since we arrived on this planet as a species, we've cut them down, dug them up, burnt them and poisoned them. Today we're doing so on a greater scale than ever.” “I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.” said David Attenborough.

Going bush , by James Patterson

 I’m flying through the air on a polar bear “go go go Polar bear” said Rafe Khatchadorian. “Fly like the wind”. “Ahhhhh,” said Rafe as his sister threw a letter in Rafe’s face and that woke him up from his daydream, “what was that for?” said Rafe. “it is a letter for you,” said Rafe’s sister. Rafe opened the letter and it said would ‘you are a great artist, would you like to come to camp culture? it is where young artists go each year, it is in Australia. If you want to come please email us at ww.campculture.com.au. You will get a plane ticket for Australia from the camp culture team. “Yes I really want to go but to Australia, last time I went there it went extremely wrong. So I went to find my family and asked them is it ok if I go to Australia for an art trip. They said “what?!” “here read the letter it will explain everything,” Rafe said. The ticket finally came in the mailbox (I thought it was not going to come). 2 days later my family drove me to the airport, I hopped on the plane. We had to go on three flights. When we had to go on the last plane it was super small. It landed at a very small airport. We went to a hotel and I waited until my friend Ellie got there. I knew that she would not take that long to come because she lived in Australia. The eleven people that were going to camp culture hopped on an old rusty, dirty bus that felt like it was going to fall over. 4 hours later we were there but I thought we weren’t there because there were no buildings, there was nothing except rock and the ground. “Welcome to camp culture,” said Brushes the leader. It was late at night, so we all gathered in a circle and fell asleep. The next day we had to hop on the bus and go to a cave that had lots of paintings. Everyone was taking photos of the paintings. In the end, a boy from camp culture said “sniff this”, it was one of the paintings, so Rafe sniffed it and it smelled like fresh paint, “That is weird”, Rafe said. We headed back to the camp, I told Ellie and Denny they thought that was weird as well. Later that night Rafe woke up then Ellie woke up they talked about the cave, then they went off to go toilet, but then Rafe realized that a massive crocodile was standing right next to him Ellie came over and said “stop and stand still”, so Rafe did “when I say run you’ve got to run as fast as you can” whispered Ellie. “what? that is not a good idea!” said Rafe “do you have a better one?” said Ellie “no” said Rafe. “RUN,” said Ellie “AHHHHHHHH” they both screamed, “I think we have lost it, “ said Ellie. Then I saw a massive hole “Look Ellie” said Rafe, then we saw a diamond that is the blue budgie the most valuable diamond in Australia and he is stealing it. They were spying on him, they finally fell asleep, Ellie and Rafe did the switcheroo and took it so we can put it back but we don’t know where it goes, it was the last night here so we took it and put it in our backpacks. The next morning we woke up hoped on the bus and drove back to the creek, we put our art out at the motel, Rafe was running around and then slipped and his foot bent the wrong way, so they had to take him to hospital. The next day they flew Rafe back, Late the next night the leader of camp culture came into his room and stole the diamond, but it was not the diamond it was a paint bucket, Rafe hid the diamond in his cast. He got invited back to Australia to get an award and when he is there he will put the diamond back.

Letter

April 21st, 2020 Dear family, I am writing to you to talk about planet Earth. I really like it here, I have discovered that my favorite food is crispy chicken sushi, I love going to the dump. I have made a hat and clothes out of the recycled metal, people here waste a lot of things! The really good news that I have been taken in by a family, they are the Smiths and they are so kind to me. I have made another friend and his name is Gus, he is a dog, I never knew that a dog was a thing, he is cute with big ears. He has black, soft fur and he likes to chase a stick when I throw it. I really love this place called Earth and I think you should all come here as I miss you a lot. Yours sincerely, Robbie the Robot This is where the black dog metaphor for depression comes from Hi, this is one of the home learning tasks we watched a video of a robot and we had to write a letter to his family that did not live on earth, I write about how much he liked it here and he really wanted to stay but his family didn't live here so he has a big decision to make!!

Maths

Hi, this my maths a home learning task, we watched a video of our teacher do trick shots, then for my shots, I did netball shots and it was for one minute and two meters from the hoop. The most challenging part was when the ball hit the base of the hoop and went flying across the garden. Would you like to try trick shots?

What's that smell

Rise and shine! The sun is coming up, I can feel the ground warming up and can see the giant trees above me. The sunlight is shining through the trees, The air feels warm today so summer must be on its way, I can hear chirping birds everywhere and rustling leaves. I smelt a delicious smell that was far away, so I decided to follow the smell, I slithered along the dirty ground. After half an hour I met up with my friend, Sophia and she also smelt the smell and she was heading there as well, so we both set off on a journey to find the food we smelt. “What have you been doing?,” I said to Sophia “slithering around hiding from birds,” said Sophia, “What have you been up to?” “the same as you,” I said. I thought to myself, the smell is getting even closer! “let’s take the next left” I said “yes” Sophia said. The smell was getting closer and closer, but then a bird came swooping down at us. We saw a hole in a tree so we wriggled in it, “I think the bird has gone” I said. A while later we both shouted, “ We are finally here!” We had found a huge patch of dandelions by the edge of the forest. Yum, this is our favorite food!! Later that day we were so tired that we decided to sleep right where we are. We curled up into our shells and fell asleep. We were two very tired snails.





Hi this is one of the home learning tasks, We did a show not tell and I wrote about snail and how it met with it's friend on a journey. 

Art

Hi, this is one of the home learning tasks, this was on the slides about art. How you do this, you colour the background in lots of different crayon colours then you get a little bit of dishwashing liquid and paint then put it on a plate (so it makes the paint even smoother) you mix the dishwashing liquid and paint together, then paint over the crayon and let the paint dry, then you get something like a toothpick or a fork and do patterns or pictures. Would you like to make one of these? Here is a link for how to make them /https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=dRa-jJROVUY&feature=emb_logo  .

Uncle Bill and Dad’s prank wars

It was 1981 and my Dad was 8 years old and he loved pranking his older brother Bill. One day he asked Bill if he wanted to go and play cricket and Bill said “sure” they did a toss of a coin and Bill won and chose to bowl, dad was fine with that because he wanted to bat anyway, but when Dad bats he does not like getting out so he told Bill that he is just getting the bat but he really was going to get the superglue and the bat. He hid the superglue in his pocket and held the bat then he told Bill that he must have dropped the ball somewhere in the house so he had to go get it this time. While he went and got the ball, Dad superglued the bails on the top of the wickets then through the superglue into the house “I am back and I found the ball “said Bill. (About 20 bowls later). “Yeahhhhhhhh!!! I finally got you out,” said Bill “but the bails didn’t fall off,” said Dad “oh,” said Bill (2 hours later). “Lets pack up” said, Bill. When they were walking inside Dad said “hahaha I pranked you I superglued the bails on the wickets hahaha” said Dad “Grrrrrrrrrr I am going to get you back for that said Bill. (2 days later) It was late in the night, Dad was sitting around, then Bill thought of a really good idea for getting Dad back from the cricket prank. He went to Dad’s room and he wanted to tuck his sheets in a way that Dad can’t get into his bed, Bill tried but he couldn’t do it but he had seen it been done before so he got his sister Tina to help him and he knew that she would know how to do it because she had done it to Bill before, (1 hour later) Dad walked over to his bed and tried to get in it but he couldn’t, then he heard laughing coming from around the corner “hahaha very funny” Dad said “We pranked you” they both said. (3 days later). Dad decided to get Bill back, he wanted to catch a fish so he could prank Bill. He walked across the road with a fishing rod because the pond was right across the road. When he was walking down the driveway he saw Bill walk down the drive to go somewhere so he ran and hid behind the bushes so Bill couldn’t see him. He ran over to the pond and started fishing. “Yes I caught a fish” he said, I need to take this back home before Bill gets home. So he ran as fast as he could to get home, he was in Bill’s room he put the fish in his bed and ran out. Later that night Bill hoped into bed and he shouted “aahhhhhhh!!” “haha” I pranked you said, Dad. In the morning their Mum (my Nan) was over it, she told them to stop pranking each other or there will be big trouble!!



This is a Lockdown task, we had to write something fiction and I wrote about my Dad and my Uncle Bill some of this is true and some of this is fake. Would you like to prank your sibling?

Lockdown Maths

Hello, this is my lockdown maths, I did a dot tally system of lots of my food in my house, then I worked out the percentage and then I did a pie graph and a bar graph, Then I answered the questions on the slide.

The fast pony

One sunny hot day there was a pony that was running around like crazy on a hot and dried grassy paddock. This pony loved the sun but the problem is when the sun is really shining he can’t see a thing because the sun is in his eyes so he is running around as well as not seeing where the gates are.

(2 hours later).

The owner’s daughter came out to give the pony lunch but the pony could not see where she was, he could only hear her so the daughter thought if I catch the pony I can put my baseball cap and my sunglasses on him. She put his lunch down and got a rope and run after him. After about 25 minutes of chasing him, she finally caught him because the pony was getting too tired, she put the baseball hat on him and the glasses but then he shook them straight off and started running again!!


She thought to herself ‘oh no! I left the gate open’. She sprinted as fast as she could to the gate, when she was at the gate she thought of a way of putting the hat and glasses on him. She held out the bucket of bananas that she was giving the pony and she thought to herself ‘he loves food and he is really good at smelling things’, but he kept on running the opposite way, her arms were getting so tired so she started calling him. He finally came over, the girl put the bucket down and shut the gate and they both got what they wanted. The end.


This is a home learning task that we had to do it is about a pony we had to add a least three of theses words pony, lamp, banana, movie theater, baseball cap and pony. I used Pony, baseball cap and banana.
