Armadillos (Reading Activity) by Isabella

Armadillos 




Armadillos are insectivores. This means they eat insects like ants, beetles, termites, worms and grubs. Using their long snout armadillos push their nose into the ground to dig up insects. 
Armadillos can smell food up to 20cm below the surface. When an armadillo is foraging for food they make lots of noise. They put their snout close to the ground, that way they can sniff out an insect.

Topic - Careers

In Room 13, for Topic this term; we have been learning about "My Career Plan". Below are some of the examples we have completed to help us in our studies. We have learnt that almost all jobs in this world require certain standards that must be met, such as if you want to become a professional athlete, performance on the day is key and keeping fit is essential.

Most people are attracted to jobs they have an interest in for example: drawing/creative art therefore, you might become an artist, a fashion designer or an interior/exterior designer. We found that all of us in the class have different hobbies and therefore we will all have a different life plan and occupation. But as it is only the start of the of Term 2, our class has a whole lot more to learn about and experience, which I am sure will benefit us all when choosing topics in high school and most importantly what line of work we'll go into in the future.

CAREER EXAMPLES:
