what we are up to in our wit

We are up to planning our resource for our wit.our wit is to create a child- friendly resource to give to a class in Frankley school about invertebretes (bugs & insects) in the Frankley Bush.
----------------------------------------------

From Zalia Aimee & Ashley

We would like to come down to your classroom if it is okay and observe and conference with a couple of your kids about questions that link to our Invertebrates in the Frankley School bush WIT.  

Example of our questions: Do you like reading on a computer or off of a book? Why?  Do you like making stuff out of materials or just doing it straight on a computer? and  Why? Do you like writing or typing?  What kind of books can you read?  Could you please read us one of your stories from your book box?

Anyway could you please let us know what time would be suitable to come down and do all of this stuff

Thanks Ashley Aimee Zalia-------------------------------------------------------------You would be most welcome to come to Rooms 3&4 tomorrow before morning tea or alternatively after lunch.

Lady Bug Information Report

I learnt about how to write an information report using the hamburger plan.  I chose to study lady bugs as part of our WIT about invertebrates and learnt heaps of interesting facts.  See if you can learn something new and enjoy reading my report.

Ohhh...what's that beautiful creature?

Did you know that there are 5000 different species of ladybugs in the world? But the ladybugs that we commonly have in New Zealand are the Coccinellidae septempunctata (Seven-Pot Ladybird).

Habitat

Ladybugs love to go in gardens on top of the soil or even on a plant. Their other habitat is on a field on the soft grass and in forests. They sit on a wet leaf for their own health to keep themselves moist.  They also like going into the Frankley School bush.  In the winter, ladybugs hibernate under leaves and in logs. Ladybugs like to live on leaves that are close to aphids, which are part of the diet.  

Diet

Ladybugs have a diet of aphids, mites, whiteflies, little insects like ants, jumping spiders, and soft body insects. Female ladybugs eat 75 aphids a day..e Ladybugs have a diet mostly of aphids, which are Even larvae ladybugs eat aphids.                        

Protection

Ladybugs play dead when trying to avoid danger so they don’t die.  Predators such as assassin bugs, stink bugs, spiders and toads may commonly kill ladybugs.  Ladybugs’ colours can warn you if ladybugs are in danger.

Did you know between spring and summer a single female ladybug may produce up to 1,000 eggs?  Also when a ladybug flies, its’ wings beat 85 times every second.  Those are some pretty amazing statistics!
