Vampire Bats

Vampire bats are one of the grossest animals in the world, they are just like vampires. They can suck peoples blood and other animals. It comes out at night but it sleeps in the day. At night is when they land next to a sleeping animal then they bite it  then they suck there blood like in the picture. Gross!!! 

A Vampire Bat looks sort of like a pig with large fangs and pointy ears. A Vampire Bat is about 3 inches long and has a wingspan of about 8 inches. Its fur is a dark-grey brown. It has two sharp pointy teeth and walks using its strong back legs. A Vampire Bat likes tropical places.

Tristan's Wordle

Wordle is a website that lets you make a list of words into pictures. I wrote words about myself.

Descriptive Writing Practise

We were practising how to describe something. What do you think of the story we made up about kiwis?

The NZ Kiwi

Kiwis have dark brown fur. 
They have two little beady black eyes. 
The kiwi has a long pointy beak like Pinocchio. 
Its small furry wings sit right beneath their necks. 
They have little wings like little baby chickens.
No matter how hard they flap their wings they can't fly!

What makes tornadoes start?

I wonder...
what makes tornadoes start?
For a tornado to start warm air and cold air mix together which makes a funnel.
The funnel comes down from a thundercloud.
It spins so fast that it can suck up things from the ground  Tornadoes are very dangerous and can do a lot of damage to peoples houses. They can also do a lot of damage to the land and to the animals.
Tornadoes can appear from any direction. Most move southwest, to northeast, or west to east.

A tornado can rip a house into shreds.
When a tornado is coming people are in danger!!! People panic when they hear or know that a Tornado is coming.

People who live where there are tornadoes have ways to keep safe.
During a storm, people can listen to weather reports to see if tornadoes have been seen by other people.

Some scientists study tornadoes. They try find out when they are going to happen. They look for big thunderclouds that could become a tornado. The scientists can warn people if a tornado is coming.

The Tornadoes will often stop in about two or three hours. For a tornado to stop the worm air and cold air separate and the thundercloud will disappear in a few minutes.
