Abraham and Sarah Story

Today in R.E (Religious Education) we made a slide of Abraham and Sarah from the bible in the Old Testament. Instead of doing it like old times, we did it modern. When I mean modern, I mean like between 2000 and 2018. Some others chose to do a play based on it. We worked very hard on it. but we had less than half an hour. 

By the way I did the second slide. I hope you enjoy our slide.

Vertebrates

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates which don't have a spine).

Vertebrates are put into five groups. The are mammals, birds, fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young.Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.

5 examples of each type:
Mammals:Cow, Horse, Bear,Dog, Human
Reptiles: Snake, Lizard, Alligators, Turtle
Amphibians: Newt, frog, toad, salamander and a caecilian
Fish: Squid, Sharks, Brain fish,

my speech

Hello 

Have you ever wanted to be a scout ?

Well... first you will need is knowledge and what better way to find knowledge is then through an experienced person. Well you’re in luck because that person is me.
So the first thing you need to know is that their are different ranks.
The lowest rank is Kea’s then Cubs which is the one I am at the moment and the last one that I know is Scouts.
I have joined Cubs at the beginning of this year and I really enjoy our weekly adventures.
We meet every Wednesday night and each week we do different activities.
One of my favourite ones was when we learned orientering. We climbed up Mt Eden when it was dark. to find different prizes using campuses and maps of the area.
The other one is when we went to the beach fishing , one of the cubs caught two snappers at once then we smoked them by the fire and had dinner there.
So as you can see cubs life is fun but tough sometimes. and I am looking forward to more adventures.
Now I’ll tell some interesting facts:

We start our meetings by raising a flag and it has to be done in complete silence. That’s how we show respect.
We shake hands with our left hand because people would have there shield in there left hand so they would had drop their shield and then shake hands without protection
We build bridges, survival bracelets, tie knots.
We get to meet interesting people.
We talk a lot about recycling and how to protect our nature. Next thing i’m going to be talking about is.
Why is scouting so important Scouting is all about building confidence and self-esteem, learning important life skills and leadership skills, team building, outdoor adventure, education, and fun!
To finish this speech I would like you to have a think of how important Scouts really are, they are not just about fun and adventures. They are important and we need more of them.
I firmly believe. I have learned a lot being a Cub and there is so much more to do. I would encourage you to become one and be proud of it as much as I am. Thank you for listening to my speech.
