My book I am reading is called "Paper creations" by Gay Merrill Gross.

I have not read the first chapter, but only the introduction. I think that this book will be about origami history and how to make instructions. 

Will this book have instructions or will it be a book with history and other facts ?

Did Japan create the first paper origami? 

The information I have currently read is that, first origami  was used to decorate but then it is now a expression of art. The book cover was a attention grabber, the pretty decorative papers and the neatly folded shapes were really enticing.

Stay away from me+ Extra facts.

Giant panda's food chain;                      

Sunlight-Grass,Flowers,Trees,Bamboo-Panda-leopards,Human 

Giant panda's main source of food is bamboo. The Giant panda then is a source of food to snow leopards or being killed for their fur by man.

They are always being threatened due to illegal logging, deforestation/ clearing of the land and poaching. People kill the pandas for their fur. 

Every animal is part of the food chain and takes part somehow for the Eco-system. The pandas role is to distribute seeds.

Global warming

 G L O B A L  W A R M I N G

In 52 words.

We’ve all seen it, heard it and talked about it. It’s becoming a big problem and it’s slowly becoming worse. Animals are becoming extinct, habitats are disappearing and sea levels are rising. Islands are sinking underwater, that means more people will be homeless. Can’t you see? Global warming is a big problem.

cartoon task

C A R T O O N  T A SK 

Scene One:  At home

I can see a small space and dim light. It reminds me of the burrows I have seen on tv that animals dig out as their home. I can see they are all huddled together sleeping so there is not a lot of room. The inside of the burrow is brown so it is dirt that has been dug under the ground.

Scene Two: First activity of the day

First they peek out of their burrows and scurries out. Then they spot a fruit and it's pink. It looks like a pomegranate and they squabble around and try to get it. Lastly one lucky meerkat strokes it lovingly like it was so precious, like an expensive gem. They stare at it hypnotised.

`Scene Three:  A feared enemy

A vulture comes swooping in and lands on the branch, it flexes its claws and looks at the meerkats. Intimidating. The meerkats are scared, shooketh. Then vulture grabs the fruit with its strong sharp claws and flies away with the PRECIOUS fruit and the meerkats scurry behind, on the chase. Chasing after the vulture.

Scene Four:Enemies revenge

The meerkats try to grab onto the fruit and take it away from the vulture's STRONG claws, first the meerkats are unsuccessful, the vulture flings the meerkat off  and then they decide to start grabbing onto each other and they make a trail. The vulture starts flying and tries to make them fall. The vulture lets go. 

Scene Five:The Rescue

The fruit and meerkats start tumbling down, the meerkats gasp. Then it quickly becomes a game of catch and the meerkats succeed in taking the fruit. BUT they drop it and the vulture takes the fruit and flies into a rock. The meerkats GASP and look at their precious fruit tumbling down.

Scene Six:Sport nirvana

They catch the fruit and start passing the fruit and [INSERT COOL EPIC SLOW-MO MONTAGE]. They looked so proud they probably thought they looked cool. 

Scene Seven:The End

The meerkat runs ahead and scores the goal, the others applause and and it falls and is a bad fruit now. The vulture flies crookedly into the distance.

             Everyday when we go to English we read a book (of our own choice),for 15 minutes.

             The book I'm reading is Dreams and Visions by Margret M. Bowater.

                                             ✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧                                           

            This is a non-fiction book about learning how to interpret your

             dreams and different meanings behind them. In this book she 

             talks about the different types of dreams and who or what you find

             in them. She also talks about your natural cycle of sleep and dreams.

             I have nearly finished this book and have found this book quite

             interesting. I have learnt about REM stage (rapid eye movement stage), the

             dream field, types of dreams, level of dream, figures,entities and guides 

             in your dreams,warnings and prophetic dreams.

  ✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

             I must say, I really enjoyed read her book. It was really fascinating. I must say, 

             I agree with the majority of all her information. It is more in depth with 

             information unlike the websites I first used as an information source (and 

             still use). I often like to refer or reference my dreams with Dream Moods and for

             dream meanings I enjoy using  Dream Dictionary .

Magpies are back and they're wrecking havoc! 

It’s magpie season and those aggressive birds have been pecking and swooping down on posties, bikers, cyclists and pedestrians. Some encounters with these birds have been fatal. Don’t worry though! The Christchurch city council removes these aggressive birds safely without doing them any harm.
