My mongoose report

Mongoose

Mongoose are endangered animals who fight for themselves.

Mongoose have a long shaped face and short stubby legs. They also have small round ears. Some can come in tan but mainly bring win and grey. Mongoose also have have short fur and a short muzzle. They also have paws they look like human hands.

Habitat and diet

The location of a mongoose is usually Africa but they can also live in Asia. Forests and the grass plains are there habitat too. Mongoose mainly eat crabs and chicken but may eat birds and rats.

Interesting facts

They are very vicious and tough. Mongoose can battle venomous snakes and win the battle. This is because of there thick fur coats they all species of mongoose have. Hawks can be a threat, though they can easily harm the mongoose and many other creatures in his habitat.

Meauring capacity

Room 1 are learning to estimate and measure capacity using litres and Millilitres. 

Before we measured using measuring jugs. We estimated using our knowledge of how many cups could go in. We knew that 250ml = 1 cup. We made estimations based on the prior knowledge we had.

After we estimated the measurements we used measure jugs that had millilitres and litres on the side. We filled the bottles up first then poured the water into our jugs and added up the numbers.

We then realised 1 litre = 1000ml and 1000ml = 1 litre. Now when we go to the shop we can convert litres into millilitres with our families.

Libby said we can use the measuring cups for baking as well because it says how many cups are on each jug. Baking is usually measured by cups.

This was a fun lesson.

What is sustainable living?

We brainstormed what natural resources we have. Then we looked at all the problems our world faces

(We sorted these problems into the correct category yesterday) 

We decided that sustainable living was a solution to try and solve the problems our world might be facing. 

We defined what we think sustainable living is in our own words. 

Here are some definitions. Later on we will come back and revise these definitions.

Measurement

Did you know the tallest man was 251 cms we then measured our selves against the line of how tall he was and it was the height of 1 jayde and half of tiana. We then did the shortest man and he was 54.6 cms and when we measured our height against it the line went up to tianas thigh.

Praises group: Did you know the shortest adult was 54.6 cm long.We measured James leg and it was the same size of the shortest adult.
