Headlice by Jack B
Head lice are
insects that live on human hair and can’t jump, swim or fly.
You can
catch headlice very easily. The way to get them is by sharing hats and combs or
by head contact. Anyone can catch them.
There are
heaps of ways to get rid of them. You can use nit wash, a comb, olive oil or a
robo comb. Nit wash poisons them, combs pull them out, olive oil stops them
breathing and a robo comb zaps them.
The life
cycle of a head louse is easy to remember. Egg, baby, teenager, adult and then
they die after five weeks in your hair.
Headlice can
only live in human hair. They are a type of insect that makes your hair itch.
Did you know that they lived on ancient mummies? They also suck blood from your
scalp.
Headlice are
annoying insects.

The big trip to Butterfly Creek
On Wednesday 30 May 2012 Rm 16,20,13,12 went on a trip to Butterfly Creek so we could learn more about beetles, bugs and butterflies.
First we went inside and sat down and a man came to speak about bugs. We asked what colour blood does a weta have and it was light green. Then we went to go have a look at the big long crocodiles. Two people went inside with the crocodiles and they were trying to get it in the water by being mean to it .It was scary. Then we looked at some posters.
Next we went to look at the fantastic butterflies flying around .It was hot inside because it needs to be warm. One landed on me and it felt like I was floating!
Last we went on the train. We saw a eel by the first pole and it was there the whole time when we went around. We saw a bum on a tree trunk that was fun!
This was the best trip ever!

Butterfly Creek
On Wednesday 30 of May Room 12 went to Butterfly Creek to for a trip.
When we got there we had to get into our group I was in Jo’s group.
First we went to listen to a man called Paul he is a bug expert. After that we went to the crocodile encounter
The crocodile was huge and they didn’t get to feed it because the food was frozen. Then we went to the Aquarium there were lots of fish.
After that we went to the Butterfly house there were lots of Butterflies my favourite one was the blue moon.
Next we went to the bug house and we saw cockroaches yuck.
Next we went to the tarantulas there was a big dark black one it was scary.
Then we went to lunch and ate then played. After that we went to the farm there was new baby goats and bunnies I got to hold one. We got to feed the baby goats.
That was a super duper fun.
