My Math

My maths

This is my maths for this week. This week we were learning about sliding, flipping and turning. When I first did it I found it really hard but when Mrs Hind showed me how to do it I found it a little bit easy. So at the top I have done flipping and in the middle I have done sliding and down the bottom I have done turning. Thank you so much for reading

Rhino report

Intro

A Rhino is a large endangered animal. Here are some interesting and cool facts about Rhino’s.

Appearance

Rhino’s skin is so thick. It is protective from bites, sunlight and wounds. Humans are mammals. There are 5 different species of rhino’s. These are the rhino’s Greater one horned rhino, Black rhino, Sumatran rhino, White rhino and Javan rhino. Rhino’s have big horns on their noses. Rhino’s weigh 1000 kgs and 3500 kgs.

Diet

Rhino’s love to eat trees, leaves and grass and the funny thing is they can only eat plants but if they want to they can eat meat. Rhinos eat up to 190 to 200 different types of plants and bark.  

Natural Habitat

Rhino’s get hunted by few predators. 3 out of 5 Rhino’s are critically endangered and who  is ever doing this should stop because it is really mean for the Rhinos. Rhinos live in Africa and Southern Asia. Rhinos love to stay in grassy plains and rain forests.  

Behaviour

Rhinos love to roll in the mud to keep cool. Rhinos use their horns to dig into ground for roots bulbs. Rhinos eat at night and rest all day. Rhinos have groups and the name of the groups are called a herd or a crash. An Oxpecker is really mean to the rhino because they take ticks off their bodies. Rhinos love to stay 5 km from the water.

Conclusion

This was really really fun to write because it was really interesting learning more about rhinos.
