Pandora's Box

Today we looked at the story of Pandora's box! here is the basic outline of the story. :)

Basically... a women called Pandora was made by some gods and was sent by Hermes from the heavens, she was given a boy called Epimetheus, Epimethus had no mum or dad so was happy to go with Pandora. She saw a box and was then curious of what was inside it so she asked Epimetheus what was inside but he didn't know all he knew was that someone had gave it him to keep safe. But Pandora was too curious to resist taking a peep inside, so while Epimetheus was out picking flowers for her she decided to open the box, just as Epimetheus walked through the door a swarm of troubles came flying out of the box and stung them both and she quickly shut the box.. but it was too late!
"please let me out" came a soft voice inside the box.
"NO!" said Pandora... "please, I'm sure you will" the voice said, so Epimetheus and Pandora open the box only to let out a pretty fairy.
" Hello, my name is hope I will protect the world from the troubles!"
Pretty much the end!

Me and my sister jess also made the Pandora's box, and had great fun MOST of the time 'cos' some things went wrong, we painted a box and made our own troubles! :)


This is me drawing troubles.
 
This is me gluing the box. 
 
This is my little sister jess drawing her troubles.
 
And THIS is the finished Pandora box! :D

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes.

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)

CHICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Image
This was at 4:30 pm when it just started to pip!  In a previous post i talked about incubating eggs.. now the eggs are hatching!!! :D Yesterday one of our eggs started to pip, As it can take 24 hours or more for a chick to hatch I thought we would have a chick the next day. A few hours later there was a HUGE crack and cheeping! It was really strange not being able to see the chick but hearing it. This was at 7:30, it had made a much bigger crack this time!    This was at 9:10, as you can see it has made an even BIGGER crack this time! This was only 5 mins after and look at the difference!!!!! When we were sent to bed (my eye's were just drooping) we was called down to see that the chick had kicked off a huge chunk of the egg. We stayed down a bit longer and it finally punched through and we saw a wing!  AWWWWWWWWW, look at it's beak! And this was minutes before the hatching! :D A few minutes later it was fully hatched! it looked better th
