                 The lions strike!!

4.5.12 It was another amazing day in Africa.  With my herd my dad is the king of the herd so he safes all the poor kids from the lions.  We were are all  walking across the bank to get to the water hole. I noticed dad’s shadow is dark it’s like in a cave, It’s like my safety blanket But I'm Just a calf.   Suddenly my dad stopped I knew something was not right we had crossed company my dad tasted lions. “Run my dad roared”   the herd quickly ran as fast as we can my heart was pounding as fast as it could.  suddenly something was on my back I felt the lion for the first time.   There was a sharp pain going down my back their was a big scratch I lost my balance.  SPLASH!!! I fell into the water I got dragged out but then SNAP!! a crocodile got me now they were playing tug a war for there lunch I was the rope sadly. The lions won the fight between the crocodile and the lions I could hear my herd coming back to save me.  I could smell freedom.  All I could see was the lion for my first time.  Here comes my dad with the herd they quickly grabbed me out and chased after the lions.  My dad sent out a big moo to say it was clear.  I felt scared and frighten hope fully it does not happen again.  

Thank you family I was frightened I did not think you would come back for me.  Then dad sent out a big moo to say I was ok.  I felt Scared after that it was a rough day.  I was happy that you came back to save me.

The Redhorsecat

Deer, Rabbits, Hares, Raccoons, and Rodents.

Head: Cougar

After they finish eating, they may cover the leftovers with leaves to save them.

Body: Woolly Monkey

They have a lot of hair to keep warm in winter.

Legs: Red fox

An adult weight of 3 – 11 kilograms (6.5 – 24 pounds). Redhorsecat have strong legs which allow them to reach speeds of approximately 48 kilometres per hour (30 miles per hour), a great benefit to catching prey or escaping from predators.

Tail: Horse

Have narrow tails with a small tuft at the end - a fly swatter. Look at a horse's tail and you will see something quite different - a fountain of hair that appears to sprout right from the horse's.

Life as women's in WW1

W.A.L.T describe what life was like for men and women in WW1 through a diary entry.

23rd September 1918

It’s a another day without my brother Jack.  It's been long since I have even seen Jack. I miss him and I hope he’s ok.  I was hoping not to get a tallygram but I got one to say he's in the hospital.  Mum was  worried too, but she asked me to stay and help out at the farm so I did.  It is really hard collecting the food for me and mum.  Especially without  my dad, because he's on tour for work.  So it’s just the girls. I have been cleaning,  washing the dishes and cleaning clothes. Cleaning clothes was a big one because mum had not done it in ages, luckily I did it.  As we were collecting food in the garden there was flies eating all the rotten food but we still got some good ones like apples, potatoes and beans I can’t really think what else I have been doing.

I have been helping other people at their homes.  I had to go to my friend Emily's house, her brother Zac went to war too and had sadly got shot going over the top.  When I went over to her house again, she was balling her eyes out but I helped her to get over it.
