Predators and Planets

This term for our inquiry we have been looking at predators and one of our tasks was to make up our own predators and planets for them to live on, my predator is called the darret. It can live on land or in water but prefers water. Its bone at the end of the tail isn't covered up because it is used as weapon. It is 30m long. It is inedible due to scales laced with a poison but that poison is only a last resort defense mechanism. It hunts anything it finds.

The planet 60% water and 40% land. It is 3/4 the size of earth. in the water it is actually clear water but the bioluminescent lights under water make it seem yellowish. The planet is a nice purple colour with lots of plant life but the water is a dangerous place. I haven't painted my mini model of my planet yet but here it is anyway.

And here is the drawing of my predator.

We also had to make a model of the predator using recycling. We are going to use papier mache to make it a smoother surface then we are going to paint them. Here is my model

Athletics

This term our main sport focus is athletics and as always there is a range of activities such as: shot put, discus, high jump, long jump, 100m sprints, 200m sprints and many more. We haven't trialled the 200, 400 and 800m sprints. We practiced, but also have not trialled for discus, shot put and long jump. I am looking forward to the 200m sprints and I am in the top 8 for the 100m sprints. The athletics day is on Friday the 4th of November.
