Our new address is: www.jwol.moonfruit.com

Welcome to the New term!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back! We are learning about:

The Tudors

Here on this page you can find out about the Tudors with The Tudor Fact File!

I bet you kids have been waiting a long time for something....and I can solve it!
Decimals, are quite hard right? Well,well I have made a PowerPoint to download to help in Decimals.

The Layers of a Rainforest

By Jason

Okay, I am at the Forest Floor and it’s a long way to sunlight.I can see a few plants trying to grow without sunlight. Up I go to the Understory Layer... Aah,now I can see better, I feel leaves flinging into my face as I go up the tall trees. I continue climbing and reach the Canopy Layer. It’s hot,humid and sticky up here and plants that require lots of sun go up to the Canopy Layer.

NOW,I am FINALLY where I want to be; The Emergent Layer. Most of the plants that reach there are ‘air plants’ that grow on the trunk. That’s the trunk there.

Woodlice Pg.1-2

Habitats Pg.2-5

The woodlice is not an insect but a crustacean, that has 14 parts to its body, which gives the woodlice the flexibility to be able to curl into a ball to protect itself from danger. This means that only the shell on the outside of the woodlice is exposed.

The woodlice is found in dark, damp places in forests and rainforests throughout the world. The woodlice feeds on leaf that is rotting and plant matter on the forest floor surface, meaning that the woodlice plays a vital role in the natural carbon dioxide cycle.

        The woodlice is usually about 1 cm long but many species in the hot tropics are 3x that size, some are even bigger. The woodlice has an average lifespan of around 2 years but some are known to get up to 4 years old.

The woodlice is the only species of crustacean to dwell inland and not watery habitats. There are thought to be over 3,000 different types of woodlice around the Earth.

The woodlice is usually grey or brown in colour but the accurate colour and size of the woodlice is dependent on the woodlice species and the area which the woodlice inhabits. The woodlice is found in nearly every environment in the world besides the cold places and the arid desert.

The woodlice is a animal that only eat plants. The woodlice rarely eats live plants and feeds on the decaying leaf and plant matter found on the forest floor such as leaves, rotting wood and fruits that fall from the trees above.

Due to the small size of the woodlice and despite the fact that the woodlice can attempt to protect itself by curling up into a ball, the woodlice is preyed upon by a number of animals around the world. Toads, centipedes, spiders, millipedes and the timely wasp are the main predators of the woodlice.

The female woodlice lays around 24 eggs which she keeps safely inside a brood pouch. The woodlice eggs hatch after an incubation period of just a few days exposing the woodlice babies. Due to the fact that the baby woodlice take a number of months to fully develop, the mother woodlice will often stay close to her young until they are adult woodlice.

Habitats

What is a habitat?

A habitat is a special place where a plant or animal lives. Just like you have a home or place to live, so do animals and plants. When we talk about an animal’s or a plant's home it is more like a neighbourhood than a "house." An animal needs five things to survive in its habitat:

• food
• water
• shelter
• air
• a place to raise its young

Animals require different amounts of space. Habitats can be big like a forest or they can be much smaller like a burrow. Some animals defend a huge territory or roam over a large area. Some other animals need only a small amount of space and can put up with neighbors that live close.

Just like you have to go to the store to get food, an animal leaves its "shelter" to get the things they need to live. If the population's needs aren't met, it will move to a better habitat.

Different animals need different habitats. A fish, for example, needs clean water in which to live. A grasshopper, however, needs a big space where it can hop and leaves that it can eat.

Working together

There are many plants and animals that will share the same habitat. The animals and plants that live together in a habitat form a "community." The community of living things interacts with the non-living world around it to form the ecosystem.

Because resources like water and food may be limited, plant and animal species often compete with each other for food and water. The only way that they can all live together is if they occupy slightly different niches or hold different "jobs" in the community. No two species can occupy exactly the same niches They all have their own jobs or niche in the community.

A niche is the smallest unit of a habitat that is occupied by a plant or animal. The habitat niche is the physical space occupied by the plant or animal. The niche is the role the plant or animal plays in the community found in the habitat.

There are lots of different habitat types on Earth. Habitat examples could include lakes, streams, forests, or even a drop of water. All habitats on the Earth are part of the biosphere. Because the Earth is always changing, habitats are constantly changing. Habitats that have similar climate and plants are called biomes .

So what's a critical habitat?

When a species is threatened, or becomes near extinction, it becomes important to protect their habitat. Certain areas become a "critical habitat" that are protected by laws to prevent killing, removing or bothering those species so that they can produce young and continue to thrive.

The grizzly bears of Yellowstone National Park were once on the endangered species list. But through protection of their habitat and efforts to make sure that they could survive, they have increased in numbers and are now, no longer in danger. Good right?

Fun and Games!

I understand how children {like me}to play games quite a lot! I am now adding a few games for you to play.
Games anyone?
