We have been working on a endangered species project for the last three weeks and mine is the Great white shark.The Great white shark is a fish because it has gills and lives in the ocean.It is also grey and white to blend in the water to ketch its prey.It’s belly is white because if someone is in the water and looks up the white belly blends in with the water.The Great white is big and weighs a lot.It can be 15 feet long when it’s an adult and it can weigh up to 5000 lbs.

The great white shark lives in the ocean near coasts like the Gulf of Mexico for the food because they love it.

Great white sharks have two to ten live young and reproduce once a year.The Great white sharks babies are called pups.When pups are born there mother doesn’t show care for it’s pups they swim away into the ocean to find food and sometimes the mother eats her pups.The Great white shark eats seals,fish,sea birds,eels,rays,baby whales,and other Great white sharks.The Great white shark lives a long time and that time is 70 years.

The Great white shark has a strong tale and it is shaped like a boomerang to help it swim fast in the water.It is also shaped like a torpedo to help it jet throw the water to catch it’s prey.The Great white shark attacks from under so it’s prey wont see it coming.The Great white shark has a good sense of smell and vision it can even smell one drop of blood from to miles away and it has a good sense of vision to spot a fat seal out of the corner of it’s eye.

The Great white shark is on the Vulnerable list because it is getting killed for it’s meat,skin,and teeth people are also over fishing which is taking there food away which is fish.People are also polluting and throwing jackets,trash bags and other stuff.

There are 3,500 Great white sharks left in the wild and people are making laws to stop people from over fishing and there stopping people from polluting.

Did you know the Great white sharks iris is blue not black it can also swim in three feet of water it’s sharp teeth are for ripping open a fat seals thick skin and the Great whites teeth are as sharp as a steak knife.

R: I chose this because at first I wasn’t interested with Great white sharks.Now I know a lot and the Great white shark is now my second favorite animal.

Last week was ancient Rome day.We learned that Aqueducts were a system that carried water to the village.We also learned the Tortise formation was the Rome army held there shields up for protection from the arrows.For ancient Rome day are class wore togas and we ate grapes bread hunnybuns and more.My favorite thing about ancient Rome day was eating the food.

R: I chose this because I liked learning about Ancient Rome.I liked it because we got to eat food I also didn’t know anything about Ancient Rome but since we studied it I know a lot now.I loved Ancient Rome Day so much and I’ll never forget it from now on.

Before we had swimming I felt nervous and excited at the same time.My favorite stroke is free style because it is fun and it is the fastest stroke.If I had to change one thing in swimming it would be to have free swim for the whole time.If I could be in the FA swim teem I would be very happy.

R: I chose this blog because I love to swim and it is fun.I like to swim because I was on a swim teem and I loved it I think swimming is cool and I think every kid should swim and I think they will love it.
