Animal Classification

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

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and  octopus.
Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, 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 breath through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins.

Examples of each type:

Mammals: Monkeys, Lions, Manatee, Pigs, Deer 

Birds: Owl, Ostrich, Eagle, Duck, Rooster

Reptiles: Chameleon, Tortoise, Tuatara, Crocodile, Snake

Amphibians: Frog, Salamander, Caecilian, Axolotl, Newt  

Fish: Stingray, Seahorse, Clown fish, Blobfish, Giant Oar Fish

The school Production: The Toy Shop on Zip Zap Avenue

♩♩♩♩We live at the Toy Shop on Zip Zap Avenue when the shop door locks at night the click clears us to move magically we come alive until the lock is turned then we change back into toys for little girls and boys♩♩♩♩

This is a story of a toy shop that is going under. Until a family of four comes for a look. The two girls Tina and Amy fall in love with all of the toys but two particularly catch their eye. Tina finds a bee called Buzz and swoops it up right at the second, But Amy however is't so lucky and has to ask her father if she can get the Jack-in-the-box when they get home. When the shop closes up Thing 1 and Thing 2 wake up all the toys and party in honor of their friend Buzz the bee as they party things get moved and the shop is not as it was when the shop keeper left. When the family come back for Amy's toy its not there. They soon find that it was just moved and bought the toy and the shop keeper said "sometimes I get the feeling that this shop is magical"!!!.   

Shopping

The weekend is the time for shopping because you have just got your pocket money. The shops I like to go to are Typo, Kiki.k and Kmart. I get about $5 a week from doing lots of chores that involves doing the washing, Cleaning my room, Cleaning the toilet and vacuuming the hall way. This is just what I need after a long day at school to get payed 5 buckeroos.

Did you know that Oxford St in London there are more than 300 shops!!
