I have a lot of fish , like neon tetras (3) , guppies (4), sunfish ( 1), beta fish (2) and goldfish (7). I also have 3 turtles , the fastest turtle is skipperdy  

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.

The Antlion

An Antlion is a dragonfly larva.

To eat he digs a hole in the sand and then waits for insects to come in. After they fall in and struggle to climb out, the antlion snaps them up. When it becomes a nymph it also eats tadpoles.

But when the frog grows up, it eats the dragonfly.

I love dragonflies because they land on my finger when I stand still.

Charles Darwin

The other day I learned about Darwin. He thinks we came from monkeys. I know we came from God and I don't think I like a monkey.

I do think though that some animals change over time though with evolution.

Fairy Chapter Books

I am reading some different fairy books which are fun.

There a rainbow fairy series. In it Jack Frost separates the rainbow fairy sisters so all the rainbows go away.

There are two girls who are on vacation named Kirsty and Rachel. They help the fairies find each other and they leave them in Rainspell Island until they have found the last fairy, Heather the Violet Fairy and the rainbows come back.

There are also pet fairies who each have a special magical pet. These fairies help make sure animals find the right homes and don't die off. I think it's the most important jo in fairy land. My favorite pet fairy is Georgia the Guinea Pig fairy because I love my guinea pigs. In these stories Jack Frost tries to steal the magic pets from the pet fairies.

Right now I am reading the Party fairies. They're not my favorite because they're all about candy and cake and sweets and I don't eat sugar. I am finishing the last book of this series, phew, can't wait to start a different series.
