This week was book week and all the classes had to make a book themed door. My class, T2 and T3 chose to do Peter Pan. The whole class was supposed to help. Klaudia, Mylee, Madison and I had to cut out all the stars in the background of the London scene. Me and Madison drew and cut out the river down the bottom. Me and Madison also put up all of the stars that are behind Peter Pan and me and Hazel cut out most of the stars that are above Peter Pans hand and head.

This term for writing we have been working on reports and Miss Hines said she wanted us to write a report about a fake animal. We got to choose to do it with a partner and I did it with Klaudia. To do this we had to first pick our fake animal and then make a planning scaffold for our writing. After that we had to start writing and this is our final product. Hope you like it :)
The butterphant is a very interesting animal. They have many interesting characteristics.They live in The treetops of Africa. They also have a very effective way of getting rid of their enemies.
Butterphants are really interesting creatures. Their scientific name is Loxolocera. They are smaller than normal elephants because of their butterfly ancestry. They are basically an elephant with butterfly wings for ears. Their diet consists of roots, grass, fruit and nectar plants. Thanks to their butterfly wing ears they have the ability to fly. Butterphants bathe in thick nectar after hot and exhausting days. They like to bathe in bubbling mud on cold days when it is too cold to bathe in cold nectar. In winter they start to begin their mating season and it ends at the start of spring. Their young are called Camph and they are born through the trunk of their mother in an egg. They are also severely endangered and there are no more than 120 of them left.
The butterphant usually lives in the Baobab treetops in Africa. Sometimes you can find it scouring the plains for food or to find somewhere to bathe. If they are unfortunate enough to be born in a place with no trees they will most likely die. In the early 17th century they chose to live in the Baobab tree because it is one of the only trees that can hold their weight.
To defend against their enemies, which are Hornets and sandflies, they flap their wing ears and create a wind so powerful that the enemies go blow away. Their wind is so strong that it's almost impossible to stay stable on the ground near the Butterphant. It is as strong as a wind turbine at full power.
If the Butterphant gets stung/bitten, The will blow up 10x their actual size, they also turn a dark purple colour.
In conclusion, Butterphants are severely endangered and the population is just about 120. You can find them peacefully caring for their baby camph And washing themselves up, All in the treetops of africa. Blowing their enemies away just with a flap of their wing ears, it's a pretty amazing animal with an interesting lifestyle.
