Facts About Tube feet

This term we have been choosing an animal an then choosing a adaption and researching facts about them.  I choose a starfish and the adaption I choose was tube feet.  Hope you enjoy!

In this photo you can see a hole tubed foot. tubed feet are like suck shin cups on the bottom of the starfish legs.

Tube feet are useful for star fish when they are on slippy surfers.

This part of the Tubed foot is called the ampulla.

The ampulla is the top of the of the tube foot.

This part of the starfish is called the suction cup. This part is the part that dose most of the work

because this is the part that is all ways on the ground. 

This is the last part of the starfish this is the part that gave the tube foot. This is called tube foot.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and most of all I hope you learnt something new bye.

My Mistake

W.A.L.T make improvements to my writing and present it to an audience.

My Mistake

On one beautiful sunny summer's day, my Bask and I were swimming around by the river bed, and resting under the sun, splashing around and making mischief with my friends.  My mum called me, so I went home.  I was feeling lucky but I don’t know why, but I felt like something exciting was going to happen, something that involves animals.

Then I heard something, a roar from a lion.  I poked my head up above the water and peered around. There were lions chasing buffaloes.  The lions caught a buffalo, a baby buffalo. 

It was amazing, I knew something cool was going to happen today.  I heard a splash, the baby buffalo was in the water and so were the lions. It was time for me to attack the buffalo. I swam up to the river bank, but then I noticed something. The buffalo and the lions were up on the bank.  The Buffalo would be really scared, and he would think that it was his last day of his life, but that’s good because that makes him weaker and it makes me more eager for the feed.  I jumped out the water and latched onto the calf, then I pulled for my life. It was eye watering because I could taste the calf's juicy meat, and I could smell the victory. The lions were fighting for the meal, I could feel them tugging. I couldn’t hold on, my strong teeth and jaw wasn’t strong enough. Me versus 5 lions, that isn’t fair. So I just gave up and I let the lions finish the feast. The lions would be jumping with joy and would be so relieved that they won the tug a war, and that they bet a scaly reptile at getting food, a nice juicy calf.

I was so devastated, I just let my meal go to a stupid pride of lions. I hope my mum or my friends weren't watching because I would look like a fool in front of them.  But I am joyful that the fight is over because I was about to lose my good hunting tooth. My mum will not be happy, but that is how life works.  I am so lazy, I need to get stronger and more fit, so I can win next time.  well off I go, to have more fun with my friends.

My Battle of the Kruger Sequence

	The Buffalo are walking around the lake on a nice sunny day minding their own business.
	The pride lions are resting under the sun on the other side of the lake
	The lions have spotted the Buffalo and are crouching down and camouflaging so the Buffalo don’t see them.
	The Buffalo have spotted the lions running at them and have started to run away. The lions are running after the calf because the calf is the slowest and the weakest.
	The lions have caught the calf by diving onto it into the water with it and then a crocodile came along and he then it turned into a game of Buffalo tug a war.
	All of the Buffalo have found the lions and have started to try and take the calf away from the lions.
	The Buffalo have charged at the lions and some of the lions have run away. The Buffalo have got there calf back from the lions and are charging.
	The lions are backing off from the buffalo because the Buffalo are charging at them.
