Broad and Balanced... Y4 Year 4s spent the afternoon at Penzance tennis club today. Their facilities were great and the tennis coaching by Ian and Sam was brilliant. Over the course of several weeks, we have learned skills such as back-hand, forehand and controlling our movements. Year 4 would like to say a colossal thank you to Ian and Sam for giving us the opportunity for this fantastic experience. You may hear rumours that the children beat Mr Uren at a game of tennis but I am certain this is a complete fabrication of events.
Broad and Balanced... Y5 The children have returned to school this week after half term, ready to learn and happy to see their peers. They have really enjoyed continuing their studies on critically endangered animals and the impact humans have on their existence on Earth. As part of their homework they have been focusing on endangered animals in the United Kingdom and how they can help save them. A variety of inspiring homework has already been produced such as ‘a poem about the effect of lockdown on animals in the UK’, beautiful butterfly artwork and amazing hedgehog quiz scores. In English, the children have finished typing up their non-chronological reports about an endangered animal of their choice. The quality of writing was excellent and will be put together to be made into a special endangered animal book to share with the school. The children have been accurately drawing images of endangered animals with control and dexterity from their observations; they were so proud of their finished pieces. All about Sifaka Lemurs. Sifaka Lemurs are herbivores; they eat leaves, flowers, fruit, buds and tree bark (Sifaka Lemurs have been known to eat about a hundred different plants). Sifaka Lemurs are a creamy white species with a black patch on their face and normally a burgundy shape somewhere else on their body as well. They have little black ears set back on the side of their head. Sifaka Lemurs are very familiar with clinging to trees with their arms and legs with their long, swishy tails hanging behind them. Including the head and body they are 18 inches tall their tails are also 18 inches long. Sifaka Lemurs habitat. Sifaka Lemurs live on the islands of Madagascar. They forage during daylight hours and go to sleep up in the trees before sunset. These animals live in different woods and forests of this place off the edge of Africa. Sifaka Lemurs are extremely good tree climbers (they sleep in them too) so it is imperative that they have a good supply of bushes and trees. Sifaka Lemur’s families. There are 101 different species of fast lemurs in the world and they are made up of five families one of which is the Sifaka Lemur. A group or family of lemurs are called a conspiracy. Baby Sifakas cling to their mothers bellies after they are born and carry on doing this for about two months then they get carried around on their mother's back. Hawks and eagles will eat the young of lemurs including this species so lemurs would be classed as these birds prey. Why are Sifaka Lemurs endangered? Sifaka Lemurs are endangered because of the destruction of their forest habitats! Some Sifaka Lemurs are hunted for their meat though, some of them are protected by the Malagasy tradition that forbids eating their flesh. All of these species are ranging from vulnerable to critically endangered. In Madagascar -the only place they live- there are only 250 adult Sifaka Lemurs left. A majority of these lemurs are threatened with extinction due to anthropogenic (originating in human activity) action like land change (deforestation) and bushmeat hunting.The Sifaka Lemur is one of the top 25 most endangered Primates.People are destructing their green habitats by slash and burn agriculture, illegal logging, charcoal production and mining.
