For this activity I had to write a poem about what I see at the end of my driveway.

At the end of my Driveway.

At the end of my driveway the farming begins.

At the end of my driveway the lambs are sleeping.

Cars drive past the trees and cows.

Big machinery drives by every now and then.

As spring begins baby animals start appearing.

As milking starts it quickly finishes.

When Autumn starts cows walk by our house for winter feed.

Why do Eels hibernate ?

I am writing an information report on eels because I want to know why they hibernate during winter. I did some research and they hibernate during winter because of the colder water temperatures .

They hibernate by burying themselves in mud in back waters ( Backwaters are a part of a river that is not reached by the current ) and in swampy areas and they will lay dormant until spring.

Eels are dormant till spring because temperatures drop and the food source is low but the odd eel is still swimming about.

When an eel lays dormant they cover themselves in a slimy case and slow down there blood circulation.

I now know why eels hibernate during winter and I hope you learnt something to.

At the end of my driveway the farming begins.

At the end of my driveway the lambs are sleeping.

Car’s drive past the trees and cows.

Bison

As it stands there in the green grassy plains of North America It looks at the other animals passing by. Its hunched back and bulky body shows that It's a rough and tough animal. The bisons big strong head is used to defend itself from fierce animals and to fight other bison.

Its rough skin is easy for a predator to pierce through. The bisons two hind legs have a powerful kick and its beard shows that its a bull. The long shaggy coat keeps the bison warm during the winter.

Sand dunes

You close your eyes slightly,

as you walk along the sand dunes

The smell of the salty sea sinks into your body,

And the cutty grass surrounds you.

As waves flow in,

The white fluffy foam gathers along

the bottom of the dunes

And the sun sets upon the sea.

You stand there listening

to the waves crashing up against

the rocks and watch the water spray every where.
