Natural Disasters

Today I learned about different natural disasters.

Tsunami - a big wave that comes from an earthquake under the ocean.

Earthquake - is when the ground breaks or cracks and the earth shakes because the tectonic plates slip.

Wildfire - can be caused by people, like when they leave a cigar in the forest, or it can be from lightning hitting trees. Animals lose their homes and the forest is burned. But wildfires leave good soil for plants to grow and animals to come back.

Volcano - is part of the earth that comes out and when it erupts the hot rocks in the earth come out melted as lava and then it hardens and becomes rocks. Volcanoes leave nice soil too.

Hurricane - a lot wind comes and it can cause flooding as it is filled with water.

Floods - are like when a river gets too much rain and the water goes everywhere it used to be dry. Floods leave good soil too.

Turtle baby story

Today I went to Frog pond. I caught two baby turtles and brought them home and made them a special habitat. They are Eastern painted turtles. They are so cute and I love their little noses. They do not bite. One of them is a boy. You can tell because his tail is shorter and his claws are shorter. The other is a female. You can tell because the female has longer claws to dig her nest and has a longer tail so she can pat the nest after laying. Most of the hatchlings will be females, because they can dig their way out easier with longer claws. Males will still make it but not as many as the females.

You can tell how old they are from the stripes on the plastron or tummy.  Each stripe is about a month old. They haven't eaten anything yet, but I think after about 3 days they will eat.

They are very friendly to play with and we go out on the back yard on my grass.

Here are some pictures:

More Fairy Books

Today I was looking with my dad at all the fairy books I have read. They are a lot of fun and I have read 81 books so far this year.

There are a lot of different authors that write all the fairy books but they all use the name Daisy Meadows. I love reading them and can't get my head out of them after I start.

We made a copy of all of the books I read from the website today.

Middle Ages

Today I learned about the Crusades with my mom and dad. The Crusades symbol was a red cross. The Crusaders were Christians. My family is Christian too. The Crusaders tried to force the Muslims to give up Jerusalem but they never won. One of the most famous Crusaders was King Richard the Lionheart. I think the Crusades were dumb because they tried to force people to become Christian instead of letting them choose.

I also learned about the Black Death. Lot's of people died. 800 people died every day in Paris. Almost half of all the people in Europe died. I'm glad I didn't live back then. It would have been horrible.

The other thing I learned about was Shakespeare's plays. He wrote tragedies, histories and comedies. They performed his plays at the Globe Theater in London. Actors could get on the stage from underneath, or jumping from above, or walking through the stage door. I would like to be an actor in one of his comedies.

Learning to type

I am learning to type on the computer I'm using to BBC schools dance mat typing kind and really like it. I have just reached level four and enjoy typing a lot

Ladybugs

Today I learned about ladybugs to be precise I learned about the Asian lady beetle Ladybugs are so beautiful and I love looking at them and playing with them. Ladybugs have round shape and have many dots on top of them today I found a ladybug in my church yesterday and today I counted her little dots and she had 15 dots. Ladybugs favorite food is aphids. Farmers led ladybugs going to their gardens in their crops sometimes even on purpose to prevent all the aphids of destroying their gardens because the ladybugs love to eat the aphids they just take care of them. I have seen ladybugs in my backyard laying eggs in the spring last spring their tiny beautiful orange dots almost looking like eggs really pretty.
