This week in reading I have been writing questions about this book the day we got a dog so it is here

 This week in lockdown I have been writing about pangolin's here it is -Pangolin’s are sometimes known as scaly/spikey anteaters.They are insectivorous which means they eat ants,termites and maybe some other insects. They are the only mammals that are fully covered in scales.Pangolins are sometimes mistaken as reptiles, but they are actually scaly mammals. When in danger they can roll into a ball. 

They are nocturnal which means they sleep in the day and come out at night. They are like hedgehogs because they have lots of things alike like - they are nocturnal, they have spikes/scales and they eat insects. One of the Pangolin’s THREATS are they are hunted for their scales/spikes and meat.

In June 2020 china made the size of protection for the natvie chinese pangolin bigger. Up to 200,000 are taken from the wild every year in Africa and Asia.there are 8 pangolin species in the world 4 are in Africa and 4 are in Asia all are under threat and all protected from trade. 

Some companies are trying to stop people selling wild pangolin at the 2 biggest markets like China and Vietnam.

Save the bees!

This week I have been learning about honey bees and how important they are and how are can help them survive. I hope you like my brochure.

Can you plant some flowers and plants and trees at your home or school to help the bees? 

Persuasive writing. Why I should be allowed a pet echidna.

This week for writing I have been doing persuasive writing about echidna's here is my work:

I think I should get a pet echidna. These are my reasons why.

Firstly, I should be allowed to get echidna because it would keep the house clean.  If I got a echidna it could eat all the bugs that got into the house like ants, spiders, grasshoppers. This is a good thing because it would stop the spiders making webs in the house and the house would not be full of bugs. Secondly, an echidna could eat all the food scraps and this would stop food waste and I wouldn't have to spend as much money on food for it.

Another one of my reasons is for company. If I got a echidna I would play with it in the backyard and at the park. If I was lonely it would cheer me up. I would let it sleep on my bed and on my lap. I would cuddle it every day and this would stop me getting bored and bothering my parents all the time.

Another one of my reasons is responsibility. I feel that it would teach me responsibility by looking after it. I would take it to the vet and all the other stuff it will need. I would clean up after it and all the things it eats.

Therefore in conclusion, having a pet echidna would keep the house clean, it would  keep me company and it would teach me responsibility to look after it. These are the reasons why I should have a pet echidna.

Do you think I should be allowed a pet echidna?
