Week 2 Reflection

Topic - I learnt why the poem 'In Flanders Field' was written. Did you know that the word ANZAC was created in 1914. 








Literacy - My Goal: To use high-level punctuation. Use high I learnt that spiders can have up to twelve eyes.

Food

Spiders like to eat flies because they suck the blood out of them. They eat lot’s of other insects and bugs. When the flies are captured in the web the spider wraps it up in silk and eats them. One example is the Daddy Long Legs because they eat other spiders that live in your house.

Appearance

Spiders can be colourful like the White tail and the Red back. Most spiders have eight eyes but some have twelve or even none! Some spiders have eight hairy legs spider that help them climb. They are part of the arachnid family not part of the insect family because they have 2 body segments.  

Predators/Prey

Spiders predators and prey are wasps, bugs, birds and even other spiders. They find lots of things to eat because they get stuck in their web. Their predators are birds, frogs, toads, lizards, centipedes and wasps. The spider's prey get the spiders back by being their predators.

Habitat

Spiders can live anywhere except Antarctica. They are so small that they can move almost everywhere and then spin their web. Some live in the ground, that’s why you sometimes see little holes in your background. There are so many species of spiders you would think there would be hardly any spaces for spiders to live.

Numeracy - I learnt how to transform 24 hour time into 12 hour time.  

My Spider - I created a spider using balloons and card. It was an activity that we were doing for 'Chapter Chat'
