Glytadon


The Glyptodon

The Glyptodon is an extinct animal that is apart of the anmiodillo family (calmyphoride).

Descrption
Light brown shell with a dark brown body, the Glyptodon was about 2.5-3.3 metres long.  It was a huge creature.  It weighed approximately 500kgs.

Habitat
They were normally found in South America and Brazil on grassy plains.

Diet
They were herbivorous; eating lots of different types of plants including flax and other tough plants.

Extinction
They died out approximately 16,000 years ago.  Hunters used them for their shell and for food.  In addition it is believed that an ice age contributed to their demise.

In conclusion they should still be alive.

Dear Minotaur


17 August 2015

The labyrinth
Ancient Greece
Crete

To Minotaur

I believe you because King Minos is naughty for calling you bad when you are good. Talk to the monster and say “tell the people to go back and tell King Minos to let us free.”

You look scary but I can tell you’re not because you protect people from the other monster. Who is that other monster? Is it the cyclops?
I think it might be Cerberus because he is like a three headed guard dog.

Some people think you are bad but you have the heart of a good person.  How can we help you with getting out of the labyrinth. We hope you get out soon enough if you have the strength. Ask the thing that is beside you to use his strength to get out and save every one.

Please write back to us soon.

George's Speech

I think  that rugby is the best sport.


 I play for waihora rugby club, it's the best club around here and that's why I love rugby.  It's such a great sport, you can make good friends, you get super fit, sometimes you even get trophies!  How cool is that?

Waihora club is great because all my friends play in my team, these are new people different from my school mates.  This means that I'm getting a wider friendship base, which is great. Its fun because you can smash people, get really muddy. Who doesn't love getting muddy.  I love giving speeches at the end of the games well.

Secondly,  you get fit because you are sprinting around for a hour and we play every Saturday.  We practise once a week for an hour, this is why rugby gets you fit. The field is 100 meters long, which is a long way to run.  If you this twice a week for a couple of hours then you're going to be super fit.

I love getting trophies.  I've got five this year.  You get them good tackling, running and being player of the day.  Man it feels awesome to get a trophy.  When you play rugby you get trophies.

So come on people please  everyone should play rugby, you'll get fit, make friends and ...wait for it, get a trophy.  Trust me you'll love it.

By George.
