The individual pursuit is a track cycling event where two cyclists began the
race from a stationary position on opposite sides of the track. The event is
held over 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) for men and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) for women.
The two riders start at the same time and set off to complete the race
distance in the fastest time. They will ride on the pursuit line at the bottom
of the track in order to find the fastest line. This race makes for a good
spectacle as the two riders pursue each other attempting to catch the other
rider who started on the other side of the track. If the catch is achieved,
then the successful pursuer is declared the winner. However, they can
continue to ride the rest of the race distance in order to set the fastest time
in a qualifying race or a record in a final.

donut

On wednesday the 16th we did a warmup for writing. before we did writing we did the roll.  And did our job.Miss Ashley explained “one buddy goes in the middle , and the other buddy one the outside so it makes a donut shape.” Then she gave us little pieces of  paper with questions on them.

“Cedric asked, '' Would you rather eat ice cream or chocolate cake”  

“I said chocolate cake because it's made out of chocolate. Then she told us to move on to the left so we could have new buddies  to ask questions.

Helenaih asked me “ would  you rather be a doctor of a police” lol lol lol 

“Then I said I would be a police so I could stop crime”. But when Miss Ashley answered she Replied’’ So I could touch gut and stuff” Because she loves it.

Then we rotated so we had new questions. Then Someone asked me” if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go”. 

“ I would go to Africa or Tonga.

But then Miss Said next but we already had the buddy. So we were already done.

New words from reading

 Tuesday 23rd July 2019

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals. 

• Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom 
• Etc means etcetera
• Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West. 

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:

keep ponds clean or fish get sick.

Kingdom

Phylum

animal kingdom

New words from animal kingdom reading

Monday’s reading

• Organism - a living thing
• Vertebrate - has a spine
• Invertebrate - has no spine 
• Taxonomy - a way to group things
• Diverse - a big range 
• Amphibians - 
• Heterotrophic - means they must find and eat food
• Primates (apes, monkeys)
• Rodents (rats, squirrels)
• Cetaceans (dolphins, whales)
• Marsupials (kangaroos, koalas)
• Monotremes (egg laying mammals like the platypus)
• Autotrophic - make their own food by photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis - how plants make their own food
• Vascular - uses roots to absorb water
• Nonvascular - uses the whole plant to absorb water
• Decompose, decomposition - to break down
• Non-flowering - no flowers 
• Thermophiles - (root word is thermo which is about temperature) 

Big ideas from the reading 

• All living things are called organisms. 
• They are organised into 6 groups called kingdoms. Each group has certain characteristics that each organism must have. 
• Animals
• Can move on their own
• Are heterotrophic (can’t make their own food)
• Must eat to survive
• Vertebrates and invertebrates 
• Plants 

• They are Autotrophic (they make their own food)
• Some are vascular and nonvascular. 
• If a plant has seeds or fruit, it is a flowering plant.

• Eubacteria

• Are made up of just one cell. They are everywhere. Some bacteria are good and some are bad.
• Bacteria called decomposers break down dead plants and anacteria.

Archaebacteria

• Can survive where no other organism can live.
• Thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles

Fungi 

• Say it fun guy
• Mushrooms are a fungi
• They are heterotrophic (can’a make their own food)
• Use enzymes to break down food

Protista 

• Are related to either plants, animals or fungi (one of them, not related to all of them at the same time)

Conclusion

Joan wiffen was a fossil explorer and a dinosaur hunter

Joan wiffen was born 4 feb 1922, she lived in NZ; her husband is  pont wiffen and her two kids names are christopher and judith. Joan wiffen job was a runner in defence headquarters. She died in 20009. Her fossils were kept safe. 

Joan wiffen found fossils in rocks to use good tools to open the rock up. After they find a fossil they carry it on their car then they take it to the dinosaur,fossil museum. She wasn't the only one to find fossils, mary anning was a fossil hunter to.

Mary anning,Richard owen,joan wiffen and Dr Ralph molnar where the people who discovered fossils and dinosaur bones like sauropod, theropod and pterosaur. They all studied about fossils and dinosaur bones, which means that they are called paleontologists.

All of the fossils they discovered were at the museum Te Papa. and its nice and safe. Now we all know that we will remember them and they will be famous, fossil hunter.

She was a famous fossil hunter and dinosaur hunter. We will remember her.

Dinosaur knowledge

Prior Knowledge	In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal Predator Dino is the root word ‘Saurs’ means something Species  Extinct  Huge Large bones Long necks Eggs  Sharp teeth Long tails Eat people Different kinds Spikes Horns Mammals 4 legs	Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same Carnivore means a meat eater Herbivore means a plant eater Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).  Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.  They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.  Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.  Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.	Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds. Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy Diverse means a big range Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.  Clade means family. Lineage means ancestors/descendants  Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs. Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.  Hominins existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.  People did not exist when dinosaurs existed.	Adaptation is something that changes over time.  Ecology - how animals relate to each other Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.  Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.  There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.  Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and  Quaternary period. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.  Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.
