Venus Flytrap

Hi bloggers,

Today I am going to tell you about the Venus Flytrap. 

The Venus Flytrap is a special type of plant. Instead of helping bug and insects the Venus Flytrap devours them. This is why we call the Venus Flytrap a carnivorous plant. The Venus Flytrap is mostly found in North and South Carolina. 

                

Now I am going to describe to you what the Venus Flytrap looks like, how it captures its prey and how it eats its prey. 

The Venus Flytrap has long spiky edges and when it snaps shut it looks like a cage. On each of its leaves it has tiny trigger hairs that are very sensitive. When a bug lands and touches the trigger hairs the Venus Flytrap snaps shut. 

It is quite simple. All the Venus Flytrap does to capture its prey is to wait for a spider or beetle to touch the trigger hairs and... SNAP! 

Once the Venus Flytrap snaps shut it produces digestive juices which allows the Venus Flytrap to take out all of the nutrients from the insect. After a week or two all that is left is a skeleton. Then the Venus Flytrap reopens and is ready for its next meal.  

Guess what! I got a Venus Flytrap at my house! If you want your Venus Flytrap thriving then these are the things you should do. 

Give it lots of sunlight and water. (Make sure you pour the water in the saucer underneath your Venus Flytrap).

Try to find some bugs for it ( It can't survive without bugs).

I hope you learned lots about the Venus Flytrap and how to make yours thrive.

See you soon bloggers.

Lockdown Learning

Hi bloggers 

Today I am going to tell you about the pros and cons of learning at home.🏠

The pros are that...

I don't need to rush to get my work finish✏

In lockdown me and my family went for 6 bike rides in a row. If we did not have lockdown we would not be able to do that.🚲

The cons are that...

I couldn't see my friends (only on a video which is not the same)

Couldn't play on the new scooter track.

That's all for now bloggers!

My Birthday party!

Hi there bloggers!

Guess what happened on the 14th of August!! It was my birthday party (my real birthday was on the 10th of August). 
I invited all my friends. My friends names are Addison, Aashirya, Zoe, Bella, Arav, Ananya, Yuvaan and Aryav. We went to Mega Air . 
My mum booked us for 4pm to 6pm. We could bounce for 1 hour and then go into the party room for another hour. We ate quite fast but we didn't stay in the party room. Even though our time to bounce was over we went and bounced some more. 
My mum made all of the food. There was fruit skewers, samosas spring rolls, gummy bears, fairy bread and murrku. My mum made the cake too. It was amazing. 

I started playing minecraft this year. Therefore, I asked my mum if I could have a minecraft birthday. I had lots of fun.

Pekapeka of New Zealand

Hi bloggers,

Today I am going to tell you about my reading for this week. This week we are learning about Pekapeka (bats).

There are three different kinds of pekapeka in New Zealand. The long tailed pekapeka, the lesser short tailed pekapeka and the greater short tailed pekapeka. The greater short tailed pekapeka is extinct.

     

Long Tailed Bat               Lesser Short-tailed Bat     Greater Short-tailed Bat

Did you know that pekapeka are one of New Zealand endemic mammals! Endemic means to be native to a certain place. Mammals are animals that don't lay eggs and feed their babies milk. Instead of hibernating, pekapeka do torpor in winter. Torpor is when you rest and don't do anything. Pekapeka live in roosts. Roosts is the name for pekapeka groupings. 

I hope you liked my blog.
