Information Report on Jumping spider

The Incredible Jumping Spider 

 Jumping spiders are a living insect. They are invertebrates, which means that they have no backbone. Jumping spiders are solitary witch means that they don’t work together. They can live for three whole years. There are many different types of jumping spiders all over the world.

 Habitat
Jumping spiders live in a web made out of their shiny silk but they don’t catch their food there. Some even live in houses in cracks or under old floor boards. You have to be careful where you step because if you have wooden tiles they blend in very well.

 Special features
 Jumping Spiders make their houses with their own silk. They are not venomous. They are great dancers but all they do is wave their arms in the air. They hunt their prey on their fuzzy little feet. Their eyesight is very good because they have six eyes on their head they can see in every direction. They’re great at disguising when a predator is near.

 Food and Sleep
The jumping spider eats one main thing which is other insects. The way they do it is, they pounce on their prey from behind then use their strong jaws to eat it.

 Distance and Speed
The jumping spider is very speedy because it can jump about 10cm each jump, which is a lot for a little spider. If you try to catch one you have a high chance of it escaping your hand. 

Predators
Birds are one of the predators to the jumping spider because they try and eat them. They protect themselves by mimicking another animal that is a predator of their predator.

 The importance of jumping spiders
Jumping spiders are very important because they pounce on other annoying insects and eat them. Without them we would have a lot of bad insects. Unfortunately they eat good ones too.

 As you can see the Jumping spider is an amazing little insect.

Animation




WALT use animation slides. We used PNG to get an image that has a transparent background. It took a lot of patients to do this as it is 101 slides. I learnt how to put it on my blog with the help of Mrs Minehan. To make it move we had to change the bits where it said false to true in the link. If you want you could try it one day.

Division


WALT understand division problems. This is a piece of my book work. I learnt that division is the fact family for multiplication. My group has been doing Dragon Maths with the same sort of thing. If you find it hard to do division but you know times tables you can turn it into a multiplication problem to work out the answer.

Giving images a bit of oomph!


We are learning to mask our images to give them a bit of OOMPH! We got to explore the tool which was fun. The hard bit was that you had to chose a mask that didn't get rid of all of your image. I got the outline by going to the pen and clicking on it. When you have done that beside it there are some lines click on the lines and you can change the width of your outline. Maybe you could try it on some of your good work.

Today we made our best work into a Screencastify to share on our blog. 
This is my favourite piece of work because I got to work on it with my friend Lucy.
Me and my friend Lucy took a bit of time making this.
