No One Knows Why

On a beautiful sunny Thursday morning in my literacy class Mrs Stickland had a red bucket with something in it and no one knew.

Then she said ‘Today we are eating crickets’ i was really excited.

Mrs Stickland put a piece of paper on the floor but first we had to go into groups then she put heaps of little crickets on top of the paper and she put some mud on the side. Then she said GO! Then I just started eating heaps of them and it was crunchy and kind of yuck.

On that day I actually wanted to do that again but with different insects. It didn’t taste that bad that’s why.

My Food Web

Your probably wondering what is this? well this is actually a food web. A food web is a like a food chain but a food chain is when the animal or bug has it's own food so like it's their food and a food web is when other animals and bugs can eat their food too so it looks like a web, so the spider eats the insect then the insect eats the fly then the fly eats the beetle and that's called a food chain. A food web is like this the spider eats the fly, beetle and the insect and the insect eats the fly and the beetle so that's a food chain.

What is a ecosystem 

A ecosystem is living things so like everything that moves like animals or plants.

Save the earth

The Night Devil spider

The Night Devil is a Red and Black spider all it does is hide in the night and then it waits until they see their prey. Then it jumps and grabs the insect and it’s pretty fast but watch out it’s a sneaky little hunting spider. You would mostly see the Night Devil only if you stay up at night in the trees. It behaves very crazy it’s fast and very jumpy.

Insect VS Spider

One day a black and red insect named Holly was wondering around the forest and then she saw a red-back spider. The spider went to Holly and introduced himself to her ‘Hello there my name is Ben I am a red-back spider’ he said in a creepy voice. Holly was really afraid of Ben because his creepy voice scared her. ‘Hi my name is Holly’ she said in a terrified way.

It was turning night time so Holly and Ben went into a hole in the tree and went to bed but while Holly was sleeping Ben woke up and dragged Holly out of the tree hole and took her away when Holly woke up she was stuck in webs.’Hi Holly i’m sorry to do this but i’m really hungry and there's no insects anywhere so i’m gonna have to eat you’ Ben said but he didn’t sound that sorry. ‘ Please don’t eat me I thought we were friends’ Holly said

Then Ben was just about to eat Holly but then a hawk came and scooped up Ben and ate him. Holly was scared and she was relieved that she was alive she was so happy that the hawk came down and scooped him. Then she got out of the web using her sharp legs and then she ran away back to her home and relaxed and said to herself ‘I’m never trusting anyone or anything ever again.
