The Hippopotamus.

Today I was learning how to do reports. I did my one on hippopotami. 

I enjoyed doing something else like writing about a wild animal because I normally do one that lives in the sea or Antarctica.

What I found challenging was to find a wow fact!!!

The hippopotamus belongs to the hippopotamidae family.

Hippopotamus are large mammals.They have a large barrel shaped body, short legs a short tail, and an enormous head. 

Hippopotami eat lots.But really all they eat is short grasses and fruit (if it can find some)So that means they are herbivores.

A hippopotamus normally lives in sub-saharan Africa. They spend up to 16 hours a day in abundant water.

Did your know that hippopotamus cannot swim?

Puanga

This week we were learning how to compare and contrast,including reading about puanga. Puanga is a brother of the  Matariki star cluster. It is actually quite funny because in Tairawhiti we can not see it.Why? because of the curvature of our world. You can only see puanga in taranaki,and most of the maori tribes there normally celebrate puanga. I enjoyed finding out that puanga is a brother of the Matariki star cluster.
