华文功课-屠妖节

The most popular account involves Narakasura, a monster who ruled the kingdom of Pradyoshapuram. His arrogance and anarchic temperament was evident in his crooked behavior. He was a trouble-maker to the gods and the pious sages and would disturb their penance or create havoc during the rituals. To prove his power, Narakasura usurped some territory belonging to Aditi, the king of Suraloka and a relative of Satyabhama, Lord Krishna's wife. Not only this, he carried away 16000 women and imprisoned them in his palace. Vexed with this harassment, the gods led by Indra approached Lord Krishna and pleaded with him to protect them from the demon "Narakasura".On coming to know about this, Satyabhama was enraged by Narakasura's malevolence towards women, and she appealed to Krishna to give her the golden chance to destroy Narakasura. The legend also says that Narakasura was given a curse that he would be killed by a woman. Krishna granted Satyabhama a boon to fight with Narakasura.With Krishna as the charioteer, Satyabhama entered the battle field. During the war, Krishna swooned for a while, a preordained divinely act adopted to empower Satyabhama to kill the demon, Narakasura. After Narakasura was beheaded, the imprisoned women were released, and Krishna accepted to marry them.The killing of Narakasura was a victory of good over evil. It is interesting to note that Bhudevi, mother of the slain Narakasura, declared that his death should not be a day of mourning but an occasion to celebrate and rejoice. Since then, Deepavali is being celebrated by people every year with joyous celebrations with lot of fun and frolic, and fire works.

Narakasura, 鬼神,在印度搞破坏。这件事刚巧发生在Lord Krishna 统治印度那年。为了帮助那些 人民出害Lord Krishna 就和Narakasura 展开一场决斗。几天过去，Lord Krishna 最后把 Narakasura 给杀死了。印度就很开心，点了很多油灯来庆祝Lord Krishna 成功消除妖魔-着个节日就称为了屠妖节-the festival of lights

我第一天走路

我第一天走路是在我以前家前面的一个,不知道是大大水沟还是河, 的一道桥. 我还记得那天就是我的生日.所以我总是记得我第一天走路.

我突然走路起来时,爸爸妈妈告诉我他们很很开心,很骄傲. 我父母说那个桥以前是很美的, 但因为每人照顾,我又去看是,希望能让我记得我那里过的美好日子,但那边的水全都肮脏,水有些垃圾,以前能看到许多鱼游来游去,现在连一个鱼儿也没又,真是的!

我希望大家能够把垃圾丢进垃圾桶,而帮这些河或水沟保持清洁美丽!!!谢谢!!!

我的那个星期。。。

假期前的那个星期，我很期待假期的来领。我天天都在想我这个星期应该去那里，应该做什么。。。我到了学校时，总是看着钟，希望假期快点来。一天又一天过了，终于到了学期最后的一天，星期四。我在学校学习了差不多六半钟头，放学的铃响了，但我还不能回家=（。因为我那天还有老师的supplementary。吃了午餐，上了差不多一个半小时的课，我班都放学了！！！太好了！！！但是，我还要留下来到四点，才离开学校。我离开学校时，我还不能回家，我要上去补习。我从学校到补习中心而不回家先才到补习中心是因为补习中心很附近学校，但如果我回家，我一到家，放下书包就要走了。因为我家到补习中心差不多四十五分钟，所以我到了补习中心时，就会刚刚好开始，因为补习是在四点半开始。但如果我从学校到补习中心差不多五到十分钟左右。而留在学校的那个小时，我还可以做一些些功课。我上晚了我的两个钟头的数学补习后，我妈妈来接我回家（终于）。我在家里等弟弟回来，我们一家人，除了我爸爸，出去吃寿司。真好吃。。。我的这天地经过就差不多讲完了，除了我在购物中心走了一下，回家睡觉等。。。。。

The poem on seeds....

Seeds

(General)

+Travelling +Shapes +Sizes

A Rnyming Poem

They travel on water and by wind

What are they?They are seeds

Some have hooks and some just split

Some are plainly animal feed.

Why can't the seeds all disperse the same way?

Why can't they all disperse the same day?

As they come in all shapes and sizes

They land everywhere, deep in the forest and some at the bay.

Seeds come in all shapes and sizes

Seeds disperse by different ways

Seeds come in different colours

From the forest to be carried away!

Posting 3 ( animal facts(amazing ones))

Koalas

The Koala is an Australian icon – people recognize, love and adore these cuddly creatures all over the world. The Koala is a grey-shaded colour animal wth round eas and beautiful thmbs.
Koalas are often referred to as a bear(koala bear), because they look like a cute fluffy teddy bear. However Koalas are not bears. They are Marsupials, which means that they carry their young in a pouch. The name Koala comes from an Aboriginal word. It means "no drink", as Koalas get enough fluids through the eucalyptus leaves they feed on, thay hardly drink water at all!!!

Koalas are found all over east Australia, mainly in the south east.
Koalas are nocturnal. That means they sleep most of the day and are most active at night. They are very placid animals, and do not move around much, they are only active for about 2 hours of the day. A Koala spends about 75% of its life sleeping.
Koalas have only two thumbs on their front paws - to help them climb, to hold onto the tree and to grip their food.

CHEETAH

The cheetah is the world's fastest land animal and the most unique and specialized member of the cat family. It can reach speeds of 70 mph. Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the “greyhound” of the cats. It is not an aggressive animal, using flight versus fight. With its weak jaws and small teeth, the price it paid for speed, it cannot fight larger predators to protect it's kills or young.After a chase a cheetah needs about half an hour to catch its’ breath before it eats. When cheetahs run at top speed they can cover 23 feet in only 4 steps and travel at speeds up to 70 miles per hour! Cheetahs are an endangered species due to a loss of habit and poaching
The cheetah is often mistaken for a leopard. It's distinguishing marks are the long tear-drop shaped lines on each side of the nose from the corner of it's eyes to it's mouth. The cheetah’s coat is tan, or buff colored, with black spots measuring from ¾ to 1 ¼ inches across. There are no spots on it's white belly, and the tail has spots which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end.

TIGERS

Wild tigers are at the very top of the food chain A tiger marks its territory by spraying surrounding trees and bushes with urine, dropping prominently placed scat, and leaving deep scratch marks on tree trunks. In the scent of the tigers urine and scat is a code which can only be deciphered by other wild tigers. The message not only acts as a warning to trespasses, but will also supply all the information needed for a would be mate.Tiger stripes are individually as unique as the human finger print.If you were to shave the fur from a tiger it would still have stripes. Tiger cubs are blind at birthAll tigers have a similar marking on their forehead, which resembles the Chinese symbol Wang, meaning King.Tigers do not purr.In Chinese, tiger means Wu Lao Hu. In Hindi it means Bagh, Sher. In Indonesian it means Harimau,Macan. In Korean it means Ho Lang-ee. In Vietnamese it means Cop. In Thai and Lao it means Seua. In Nepalese it means Bagh. In Burmese it means Kyar. And in Malay it means Harimau.As the trade for tiger parts has now been forced underground the incentives for poachers have greatly increased, one tiger carcass can mean as much as ten years pay.

BLUE WHALE

A blue whale's arteries are as big as drain pipes and its tongue weighs 4 tonnes. It's mouth is so huge that a football team could stand on its tongue!
A newborn calf drinks around 230 litres of its mother's rich milk each day - her milk is about 50% fat, so not surprisingly, the calf gains weight quickly, putting on about 4kg per hour! By the time it is weaned (stops drinking milk) at 7-8 months old, the calf weighs around 23 tonnes.
Blues feed by gulping krill and water, taking in maybe 40-50 tonnes in a single mouthful. The whale then pushes out all the water and traps the krill using its hundreds of furry, comb-like ‘baleen plates’ which hang from its jaw and act like a giant sieve. Their baleen is the longest of all the rorqual whales, but it is particularly wide in relation to its length (90cm to 1m long; 50 to 55cm wide).
Blues must eat around 1.5 million calories each day, equivalent to around 4 million krill.
Blue whales are usually observed to travel either singly or in twos and threes (however, in a creature this immense, the usual rules on 'personal space' may not apply and what we perceive as a solitary migrating blue may in fact be 'travelling in company' with others, maybe several kilometres apart!).

DOLPHINS

What is Flipper doing with Sponge Bob? Dolphins have been observed using sea sponges as they scavenge for food on the ocean floor. It is believed that they use the sponges to protect their noses from being scratched.
Orcas, other wise known as killer whales, are not whales. They are actually the largest species of dolphin.
Orcas got the name “killer whale” after being observed killing whales for food. In fact, the orca is the only natural predator of humpback whales. About fifteen percent of all humpbacks have scars left after an orca attacks.
Although they are known for their ability to kill whales, an orca’s diet consists more of fish. However, they have also been observed eating sea birds, dolphin, sharks, seals, and even swimming deer and moose.
Some dolphin species, such as orcas and bottlenose, have been observed beaching themselves on purpose in order to go after their prey.
The smallest species of dolphin, the vaquita, is only four feet long and lives only in the Sea of Cortez.
Most dolphins sleep just below the surface of the water, surfacing frequently to breathe. They are also known to sleep with one eye open.
Dolphins are not only found in the oceans. There are several species of freshwater dolphins.
Dolphins use sonar to locate their prey, similar to bats do. Some freshwater dolphins are blind, and their only method of guiding themselves is their sonar.
Bottlenose dolphins are capable of creating sonic booms that exceed 230 decibels, which stuns the fish.
Dolphins communicate by clicking and whistling at each other. Each dolphin has a “signature whistle” that it uses to identify itself to other dolphins.
