Red Foxes

Red foxes

This term Tumu have been learning about information reports. We all have started writing them and have learned so much about before we started. The teachers have been helping as with every thing and helping as under stand what a information report is. This is a information report that I did myself.

 

The red fox lives in diverse places like grass lands, forests, Mountains and deserts. They also live among as humans, adapting to where we live such as farms, suburb areas and even large communities.

The red fox is a omnivore and eats a large variety of food. It hunter and eats rodents, rabbits, birds and other small animals. Their diet can be flexible to their environment and they can eat fruit, vegetables, fish, frogs and even worms. If red foxes lived in the city they probably would adapted to the environment and eat garbage or pet food. They tend to eat 0.5 to 1 kilograms of food a day.

When winter comes for red foxes they meet to mate. The female typically gives birth to 2 to 12 pups. When the red foxes are born they are actually not red they are brown and grey. A new coat grows after the first month but they can be reddish-brown, silver or even black. Both parents look after their young through summer but then leave them.

The red fox is small and has a reddish-brown coat. With white on it’s tummy going up to its chin. The red fox's tail is white and its tip of its nose is black. The red fox is can be confused with its cousin the Gray fox. They are so similar some people can’t tell the difference. There is one small difference the red fox’s tail is white and the Gray fox’s tail is black.

Red foxes have shown that they are intelligent, also they can adapt to the situation and they are a cool animals. I hoped you enjoyed.

PBL - Term 1
This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?
First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and for our PBL we made a dance video. It took a lot of planning and deciding before we came up with the idea. We tried to use a gaming device of Frankie’s but that did not work so we got it from the internet. We practised and practised and then we made a dance video with me and Archie in it. Then we hosted tumu with the dance and gave away chocolate for the best dancers and for the best trier.

Reflection:
 For our final product our group made a dance video and showed it to Tumu while we gave the teachers chocolate to give out and almost everyone loved it. How did our action build a sense of community in the school? the dance video united people together and gave a sense of achievement when the dance video finished.

 I contributed by helping the group in the start where we came up with a idea. I helped again with the plan and I was one of the dancers and there was only two dancers. I also brag props in.

 I think the PBL might impact on others by getting them moving and a smile on people faces also imagine if you won a chocolate bar.

 What I learned about working with others was that it is easier to get ideas but way harder to decide on a idea. Everybody had their own unique things and how to do different things.
