Battle Sheets
For Maths I played Battle Sheets It was me vs Te Pounamu. This game is all about strategy
to play this game you have to drop 5 As vertically or horizontally also you have to drop 4 Bs Ds and 2 Fs.
To hit the opponent you can place a X mark anywhere onto the bottom left grid. Next to it there is a grid that tells you if you have hit the red signals you have it your opponent Black signals you have missed. Lastly the top right corner sees if they have hit you.

Information Report
Quetzalcoatlus
Quetzalcoatlus is a member of the family Azhdarchidae , a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long necks.It’s name comes from the Mesoamerica the feathered serpent god.
Diet
quetzalcoatlus was a carnivore, probably skimming the water to find prey.It lived inland from the sea, near fresh water ponds ( so it’s diet wasn’t primarily sea fishes and marine mollusks like other Pterosaurs).It probably ate arthropods (like early crayfish) and dying animals.
Habitat
quetzalcoatlus was Pterodactyloid Pterosaurs from the late cretaceous of North America, and the largest known flying animal to have ever lived. Even though it’s NOT a dinosaur, it would be amazing to see this creature glide in the sky.
Size
quetzalcoatlus Northropi is the largest known animal to ever been able to fly. When it was first discovered, scientist estimated that the fossil came from a Pterosaur with a wingspan up to 13.7m. In 1981, further studies showed that this estimate was too large, and lowered the estimated wingspan to 15m. More recently,the wingspan estimated has been reduced yet again, this time to 10.9m
Flight
Studies have shown that quetzalcoatlus could take off under its own power. But once aloft it may have spent much of its time soaring.To test the flight on quetzalcoatlus, a program sponsored by Johnston wax involved the construction of a model flying machine. It was about half scale 7m the size of a quetzalcoatlus and had a simple computer as a autopilot.The experiment worked and the model flew through the skies with a combination of soaring and wing flapping. This model is now resting in the Smithsonian Institution Air and Space Museum.
This is my Information Report about Quetzalcoatlus it is a Pterodactyl.Even Though its NOT a Din0saur Its the largest flying animal ever to be able to fly and my favourite animal.

Connections
In Reading we made connections with Bessie Colman,Jean Batten,Amelia Earhart,Richard Pearse and Wright Brothers.I worked with Sanujan and all our groups.I found it difficult because they didn't have that much in common and no connections.
