Malaysian Animals!

WALT: Understand the elements of informational writing.

Malaysia is a great place for all people to go to. Have you ever thought of going to Malaysia? Did you even know that Malaysia existed? Well, sit back and relax and here are some things about Malaysia's animals!

Java mouse-deer! What a weird name right? Well, this animal looks like a deer but is tiny like a mouse. When it reaches adulthood it is about the size of a rabbit, making it the smallest living ungulate. It is found in forests in Java and perhaps Bali, although sightings there have not been verified.

Rhinoceros hornbill! This majestic bird is a hornbill and has a unique  Rhino's horn that has similar colours to a Toucan's beak. It is found in lowland and montane, tropical and subtropical climates and in mountain rain forests up to 1,400 metres in Borneo, Sumatra, Java etc.

The Malayan Tiger... this tiger may look like a normal tiger but for some reason, it was Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2015. Malayan tiger can reach 70 to 112 inches in length and 52 to 284 pounds of weight.

That’s about the only things that I know about
Malaysian Animals. Every animal can be weird and disturbing and others can be cute and cuddly but you never know which ones are dangerous so be careful around animals and don’t trust them!

Korero - Love The Difference!

Racism, Hatred, Intolerance! All of these words that don't belong in this world. Everyone is different! People can't say that others are really irritating and bothersome if they haven't even met them. People can have wacky hair and a really weird smile although they can be amazing and effective on the inside. Everyone has to appreciate and love the imperfections that others have so take my words and Love The Difference!

This weeks work was just another simple, same thing we do every week but this time we only had two days to finish this. Why?
