In STEAM we learned about life cycles and then we had to do a 3D lifecycle model of an insect. I chose the western black widow because their cool.Then we had to go on tinker-cad to make it

The life cycle of a western black widow is:First the mother lays the eggs then it creates an egg sack.After the spiderlings hatch and they grow into a baby spiders.The last step is that it grows into an adult spider and off it goes into the world.

A fun thing I learned was baby spider are called spiderlings!

In week 2 in STEAM we learned 5 ways that insects help our world.The first was that insects are a Important food source for bird mammals and reptile species.The second thing is grass hoppers and locust are very high in protein.The third thing is insects are really high in protein for humans.The forth thing is the insects help with the environment like dung beetles.The fifth thing is that 4th of the population of the has insects in their diets which is 2 billion people . Fun thing ,I learned that dung beetles help with plants and soil by planting the seeds deeper in the soil !

And then Nathuli came to sit on the other table we both had something missing I had a missing red pen and she had a missing ruler we started sharing and talking to each other on the mat and on the table.One time we were sitting together and we played yes no Maybe on the eraser and then Nathuli her lost her eraser and we found it in this girls mouth she was chewing it we could tell because it had Nathuli’s handwriting we were disgusted so we just used mine. Another day went by and we saw each other again this time Mrs piena said “we are doing a maūi puppet play and chose a buddy ” I obviously chose Nathuli and we started working we started planning out our play we had to use lots of colours we borrowed . we had not that much supply’s only sticks ,paper pencils, and more we were done it.
