Facts about the Arctic Fox
- Arctic foxes change the color of their fur with the seasons. In winter they are white to blend in with the snow, while in the summer they change to brown.
- Alopex lagopus is the scientific name for the fox
- Lemmings are what arctic foxes eat mostly and they will eat anything they can find.
- When the Arctic fox hears an animal under the snow, it leaps into the air and pounces, breaking through the layer of snow right onto the prey beneath

FIRST DAY BACK AT SCHOOL!!
As I happily entered my classroom on Monday morning from a two week holiday, I briskly chucked my bag at my desk and went to see my friends. It was the first day back at school and the last term of 2015. At 8:30am the year 7 and 8’s had to sit in the street for the karakia and himene. Soon after that we headed to the Hall for our Immersion assembly, I didn’t put my shoes on and it had been raining therefore my socks were soaked!!
After a couple minutes of waiting excitedly, Mr Burt our principal greeted us and told us that this term we are learning about survival and adaptation. Then he showed us a movie he made about an extinct bird called the Fia Poko Parrot and it was really annoying that the people of the town got a Fia Poko hunter to hunt it down. It was Hilarious!!! Next we had team 1 teachers come and tell us what they are learning about this term and they are learning about how animals adapt. They also had a karaoke competition where they had to sing ROAR by Katy Perry and a year 3 named Mirka won and she got a prize that was a free trip to go to the Zoo with team 1.
Team 2 was up next and they are learning about dinosaurs. The teachers of team 2 showed us a movie they made. They also had someone dress up as Barney and picked random kids to shake Barney’s hand and give him a hug too. It was pretty cool. Team 3 came up and they told us that they were learning about dinosaurs and they are going to make up their own type of dinosaurs. The teachers had already made their dinosaurs. There was Bossareptor, Musslesaurs, Manosaurs and Discosaurs are the dinosaurs I can remember from Monday.
Then we had team 4 and their teachers explain to us that they were learning about animals and their habitats. They had also made a movie where there were 4 kids in a green screen room and they had to guess what animal was behind them and where they were. It was so funny watching them! The Final team was team 5 and the teachers performed a skit about adapting. Where they had a competition of who could finsh a plate of noodles in 30 seconds using chopsticks. Miss Clark won because her family used chopsticks all the time but Mrs Peato had never used chopsticks before and never had to. Then Mrs Hockly said she went to Japan so she had to adapt to using chopsticks because it was part of the Japan culture.
In the end I enjoyed being back at school and my favourite had to be team 4 and their movie. I can’t wait to learn more about adaptation and sense this is the last term of the year I will try and make sure this is the best term ever!!!
