Book Character Day

This week we had Book Week and today was Book Character Day. I was a triplet with Molly and Ruby, I was Daisy, Ruby was Lilly and Molly was Violet. We were all triplets. In the morning all the classes went to the hall and each class went up one by one to say what each person was.
This was very interesting seeing everyone's costumes.

Information report

This week we had to do a Information report about animals or a country. I chose to do pets it was very interesting finding some facts I hope you enjoy.

Pets

Lots of people have pet animals. There are lots of different types of pet animals you can have. Different people around the world might have different ones.

For different pets you might have the classics dogs or cats or maybe you might have something smaller like a guinea pig.

Dogs are one of the classic pets lots of people have them and lots of people love them you can get all different types of breeds of dogs big small different shapes and sizes. Here's a fact about dogs, Dogs noses are wet to help absorb scent chemicals, also this might be surprising but dogs have three eyelids. 

 Cats are one of the other classic pets. Cats are very playful. You can also get lots of different breeds and sizes of cats, for example you can get cats with no hair or you can get cats with lots of hair. Here’s a fact cats walk like camels and giraffes. Also here is a cool fact that in 1963 a cat went to space, isn't that interesting.

Guinea pigs are a small animal. I don't really class it as a classic pet. I would call it a pet that lots of kids like. Most kids like Guinea pigs because they are small and cute you can get heaps of different colours of them and some you can even get that just look like hair. Did you know that each Guinea pig has 5 different types of hair to make up their coat, Also guinea pigs learn very fast because a guinea pig can run when they are only 3 hours old. 

In conclusion Pets are very interesting you can get lots of different breeds, shapes and sizes and lots of different looks. What's your favourite pet?
