Math times table check up (update)

Today I was doing the times table check up again because I did it wrong on the first one. I was learning my 3x, 4x and my 6 times, because I knew my 3x and my 4x but it's not quick. Not quick like i know them by heart but I need to know them straight away. The red means I got it wrong, green means I got it right and orange means I didn't answer in time. I need to learn: 6x4, 3x8, 4x8. The 11x and 12x my teacher said I didn't need to learn them.

Extinct New Zealand Animals

Last week we have been writing about Extinct New Zealand animals. My extinct animal is the laughing owl. I have link the sites that I used to get the facts. I used my own words because if I just copy and paste than you and I would not understand what it means. I found it easy to write about it because the laughing owl (or the Sceloglaux Albifacies) is one of New Zealand's native owl. Also most of my classmates is also doing the laughing owl.

Classification 
I am writing about New Zealand  Extinct animals. The Sceloglaux albifacies (laughing owl) were originally placed in the monotypic genus Sceloglaux.

Description
The laughing owl weighs around 600g. That’s almost as heavy as a basketball. Wow! The Sceloglaux albifacies are about twice the size of a Morepork. You can still see Moreporks now but there is not much in the world I believe.

Habitat
Laughing owl lives in both open country and forested areas. Of course they are nocturnal animals because they’re owls. They roosted in caves or fissures in rock areas.

Diet
The Sceloglaux albifacies eat small-medium sized birds, frogs, bats, lizards, juvenile tuatara and laver. That owl can eat a lot of different small animals. But now they are extinct. Sceloglaux albifacies also eat larger insects.

Threats
Before the Europeans came to New Zealand, the Sceloglaux albifacies happily doing it’s life cycle. But once the Europeans came, they were hunted down. Just for dumb stuff. They killed the laughing owl, stuffed it and put it in museums. Sometimes zoos too.

Dynamic Facts
It is 14-15 in height with a wingspan of 10.4.

Tracy Tawhiao

This week and last week I have been doing an art pieces from Tracey Tawhiao. She used newspaper words that mean something to her, and she did patterns from her culture.
The steps that I did was...
Go online and look for my cultures patterns, then look for a newspaper that has a word that means something to me. After I got them I painted over the other words that didn't mean anything to me. I had ro remember to leave white lines in between my paragraphs. I let it dry, after it dried I started using pastel to do my culture patterns onto the paint bits.

consumer. The mouse eats the chesas which is a producer.
