Turtles and Tortoises are similar because they both lay eggs on land, and eat vegetables. They are both very slow movers as well. Turtles can swim, however Tortoises can not swim for long and live mostly on land. Turtles can live for 20-30 years while Tortoises can live for 100-150 years. Although Turtles have thin, flatter shells on top, Tortoises have thick shells with a round dome on top. Turtles mainly live in water and they come out on land to lay their eggs. Tortoises have toes and claws but o
n the other hand Turtles have big flippers and they have webbed feet so they can move easily through the water.
Our Wearable Waste Fashion Show
On Tuesday we brought plastic bags, cardboard boxes, newspapers, old magazines, ribbons and recycled materials to school for our fashion show. On Tuesday afternoon we started designing and on the red table there was a mountain of old stuff. My idea was a girl going to a party but I changed my idea and turned it into a beach girl. I used plastic bags for my skirt and my t-shirt. I cut the top and bottom off the plastic bags.
My friend Zenalia helped me make my outfit. We cut the bottom where we tied up the plastic bag and made it out of flowers. We got tape to put it on my skirt and my t-shirt. We got some decorations and put it on my shirt. My other friend Anna Maria made me a flower that I could put on my ear.
On Wednesday I made a bag and a fan. For my bag I used a tissue box and for my fan it was a cardboard box that Ms Yumal cut. Then I painted my bag pink and put a blue heart on both sides. Then I painted my fan pink as well and my other friend Ruzzel painted it with me. Then she went away and my best friend Angelina painted red hearts on the fan. It looked beautiful.
On Thursday after lunch we came inside and cleaned up Room 6. Then some of the Room 6 people went to help Room 7. After that we got ready for the fashion show. The whole school was coming to Room 7 and when we were in Room 7 they were waiting for us.
Mrs Agnew said to get in pairs so I went with Angelina, my best friend. When me and Angelina walked in everyone was cheering for us and I saw Sulia do the thumbs up to us and we were allowed to put our hair down. When we went outside me and Angelina were laughing, and we went two times and so in the end we all did the fashion parade. It was so much fun but we did work hard for it to be successful.
