Week 1 Term 2 2017

Welcome back to term 2! We welcome Loena and Lily-Jade to Room 7.

Sophie went to Australia to see her nana in the holidays and she brought us back some little koalas . When we talked about koalas we realised that we actually didn't know much about hem so we did a mini inquiry around Koalas.
We answered a question: "Why do koalas not live on the ground!"

We had to use what we had learned to answer this question. We also learned how to make a picture response using collage. Mrs Finucane thinks we are very clever!

Koalas can’t live on the ground because their claws will get stuck in the dirt and predators can eat them.  By Jack

Koalas can’t go on the ground because a poisons dart frog could knock the koalas out and predators could eat them, and there isn’t any food down on the ground. By Connor

Koalas can’t live on the ground because dogs can eat them. The koalas and baby koalas too, but the tree is the safe place to be. Koalas sleep in the tree because there is food up there. By Oakley

Koalas live in trees so they can’t get eaten by dogs and other predators. The koalas eat in the trees. By Jacob

The koalas don’t like sleeping on the ground because they might get eaten, and the koalas like gum leaves and they eat gum leaves. They sleep for 20 hours each day and they sleep in the tree and the baby koalas climb on their backs.   By Rawinia

Koalas can’t live on the ground because they might get eaten by a dog that has been released from its pen. Koalas can’t live on the ground because when they sleep their backs might hurt too much. By Enzo

Koalas can’t go down on the ground because if they do go on the ground a wild dog will bite the koala. If the wild dog bites the koala it will hurt the koala. By Charlie

 The koalas can’t sleep on the ground because a predator could eat the koalas all up, and then there would be no koalas left. The koalas could get their sharp claws stuck on the ground, and they get their food from a tree. By Kayley

Koalas can’t live on the ground because there might be something poison that they will eat that can kill the baby koala. They can eat dirt sometimes. They can go on the ground for a little bit, to get to a different tree when all the leaves are gone. The baby will drink the bad milk. They sleep funny, on their tummy in a tree. By Sophie

Koalas sleep high in the trees and they sleep for 20 hours and that’s nearly then whole day. By Sahara-Lee

Koalas don’t live on the ground because they might get their claws stuck in the squishy dirt and the roots because they have very sharp claws. So that is why koalas live in the trees. But there is one more thing why koalas don’t live on the ground, because they might get eaten by a dog or other predators. If a koala is on the ground and its food is up in the tree, then they have to climb up the tree, or  they starve. By Xavier

Predators might eat koalas and their trees might fall down. By Weston

A predator could come and it would eat the koalas. It would die and a ranger would save the baby koala. Koalas lives in trees and they get the food up in the trees. By Blake

Koalas might get bitten by a snake then they might die from a poisons bite. Their venom is very strong so they will die from the venom. By Karez

The koalas are hydrated from the leaves and the rainwater. They live in the trees and not on the ground. By Lily-Jade

There are rocks that might cut them that is why koalas don’t live on the ground. Their food is at the top of the tree. Koalas eat gum leaves mostly. Sometimes they eat dirt to settle their tummys. By Maddison

The koalas can’t sleep on the ground because the predators could eat them. By Clair

Koalas live in trees because wild dogs eat koalas. Koalas like to sleep lots. By Jackson

The koalas can’t live on the ground because the predators will come to hurt the koalas so they climb up to the trees to stay safe. So now the predators can’t get up the tree and eat them. The koalas come from Australia and they sleep in trees and they eat gum leaves. By Riley

Koalas live in a tree. By Loena

Koalas can’t live on the ground because predators will get them. By Mereana

The koalas like to eat leaves and they want to go on their mother’s back. Why koalas don’t like to go on the ground, because the koalas like to sleep in the trees. They are not sleeping on the bed and they do not like live on the ground. By Tariqah

The koalas can’t live on the ground because if it is a mother koala it will be really hard to get away from a predator or its claws might get stuck in the mud. It’s really hard if it gets stuck. If it sleeps on the ground it will get eaten. By Oceane
