The giraffe chase

As soon as the lion started chasing the giraffe the giraffe ran for his life. The giraffe ran as fast as he could. One of the lions ran in front of the giraffe and pounced onto its throat. When the lion was holding onto the giraffe's throat the giraffe kicked the lion off, and carried on sprinting. As the giraffe was running the dust on the ground looked like fire. Finally the giraffe was safe and went back to his family.     

Dragons have sharp teeth so that they can crunch through bones.  Dragons live in dark and scary caves.  Dragons blow fire out of their mouths and steam comes out of their nose.  Dragons make screeching noises when they sharpen their claws on rocks.  Dragons have wings so they can fly high in the sky.

Playing around.

Splash, splash,  splash, wet road. 

Muddy bush. 

Slipping over. 

Back to school.

 Yay!

On Tuesday I wasn't at school because I had a cold. I had to go  to my mums boot camp .  It was funny because they had to do silly work outs.  After that we went to the resort with my mums friends. I got curly fries and then we went  home . Then we went to pick my little brother up from kindergarten.  I went to  climb pine trees . Then I had something to eat .

I live in Coopers beach.  Mum's name is Caitlin, and dads name  is Rick.  My brothers' name is Tyson . I have 18 chickens, 7 dogs and 1 cat. 

My favourite thing to do is climbing  the pine trees with my cat.   

I like eating ice cream.

I don't like centipedes because they have 500 legs. I don't  like spiders because they hang around your house .

I want  to get better at art because I'm not that good at art. 

When I grow what to be a teacher because i will get heaps of money. 

I have a lovely family.

I am Alyssa.

Most of them are red or yellow with black spots but some are brown or have different colour spots and a few have no spots at all.


A 22-spot lady bird.

A 7-spot ladybird .

A 14- spot ladybird.

Each kind of lady bird has its own pattern of spots.


Lady birds belong to thand othee insect family.


Like all insects they have  parts to their body the head the thorax and the abdomen.


Ladybirds have three pairs of legs.



All the parts of the body are covered in a tough case called the exoskeleton .

A lady bird uses its antennae to touch taste and to pick up movements in the air.


Ladybirds are always hungry.

 They feed mostly on aphids.

These are the green black or white insects you see on roses and other  plants.


Aphids are easy to catch because they move very slowly.

They have soft plump bodies which are full of the juice they suck out of plants.

Like many beetles ladybirds have strong jaws that are good a and chewing biting
