Endangered Animal.

I have found out that in the UK there is a lot of endangered animals for example the "red squirrel" is endangered and in decline in the UK, There is only 120,000 red squirrels in the UK and 75% of them are in Scotland.
Hi, I'm Kaiden. Over here in the UK the Hedgehog is endangered because they walk in the road and with the amount of traffic we have they get ran over.

Skyping Papua New Guinea about Endangered Species

A teacher who used to teach at Culverhay a few years ago has moved to Papua New Guinea to teach.    We skyped her during our lesson this afternoon, although it was 00.30 tomorrow morning there.

The PNG teacher said that Turtles are the only threatened animal in P.N.G because they get eaten and their shell gets turned into jewellery or alot of other products, by locals, but although they are threatened elsewhere in the world there numbers are plentiful in PNG.  You are though not allowed to take any turtleskin out of the country because of this.

Is there animal cruelty in the country?
Mrs Hurst said that there isnt really any animal cruelty in P.N.G. There are stray dogs that roam freely in the streets and if they go onto the school premises the guards will shoot them.

She said that her favourite endangered species are polar bears and pandas, but that there are none in PNG.

What is the Temperature like in the day?
the weather in the morning is 36 degrees and in the night it is 16 degrees.

When asked about the P.N.G view on animals becoming extinct she thinks that it is sad because we will be able to have babies and animals will not be able to, she also said that they disliked rare animals that were killed just for  human needs like they kill rhinos for the horns for medicine.

First Meeting of Endangered Species Group


Culverhay students have met up for the first time to talk about the endangered species group.  We talked about the different types of energy supplies, and which is best water power or wind power.  We will be making games on endangered species for primary school children in the uk.  But the main focus of the group was who wanted to visit which country.  Everyone wrote an application on why they wanted to go to that country.  Mr Thomson will decide who will be going to Austria first.
