Great white sharks are the world's largest living hunting fish. Mature sharks grow up to 6.4 metres in length and they weigh 3,324 kilograms. There are also Great White Sharks measuring over 8 metres. This shark can have babies around 15 years of age.
Great white sharks attack their prey with a mouthful of razor sharp, serrated triangular teeth. There are two elements that make the mouth so effective: the teeth and the jaws. Shark teeth are something like the teeth of land predators,they have very sharp points that will cut into meat.

My incredible weekend
One Saturday night my family and I were going to kmart, then my auntie called my mum.
“She said where are we going for dinner?” My mum said we were going to kmart first. Then my auntie said we were going to Kmart afterwards, so we both went to Kmart.
After we went to Kmart we went to Wendys but before we went to Wendy's, we bought two new school bags.
We went to Wendy's to eat. I just had chicken nuggets with yummy sauce. After we ate we went back to our house and slept until morning.
The next day my mum woke me up to go to church. I was so tired because I slept late that night. My little brother Jaden didn't want to wake up, so I had to wake him up. So we hopped in our car and went to church.
We got to church but it took a long time to find a carpark. But we found one.In the church my nana chose me to the bread for the i’llness up to the altar, But I had to go to the children's liturgy but it was nice walking up to the altar.
After church my nana gave my family and I lollies.

Humpback Whales
Humpback whales are baleen whales.
Rather then teeth, they have 270 to 400 fringed overlapping plates hanging down from each side of the upper
Jaw, called Baleen plates.

COVID-19
What is COVID-19?
Covid-19 is a virus that spreads easily, it’s also a virus that can cause you to die.
How do we stay away from COVID-19?
Avoid going outside because mostly outside has all the germs and the virus. It is best to stay INSIDE where it is safe and you don’t get sick or worse. You can go outside if you need things that you survive on like food, water, vegetables and more like that. But you have to wear protection like a mask and gloves so you don’t touch or take in the things that people spread their germs on. That also includes going to other countries. Going to other countries during this virus that is spreading quickly is NOT the best way to stay away from the virus. Going to other countries is not safe because the country that you might be going to, probably has the virus there and you might not know it.
ALWAYS wash your hands after you’ve finished with the toilet. You even have to wash your hands if you’ve touched something that everyone touches like the kitchen sinks and other things like that. Also wash your hands if you have picked your nose which you shouldn’t or just any other disgusting places.
Don’t touch any part of your face. The only way where the virus will get into you is if you haven’t washed your hands and you’ve touched your eyes, inside of your mouth, inside your nose and maybe even your ears. It’s best if you just don’t touch your face if you haven’t washed your hands.
If you cough or sneeze, you need to cover your mouth by sneezing or coughing into your arm or you can just cough into a tissue. If you cough or sneeze into the air then everybody will get sick because everybody will breathe in the same air. So covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze is good to keep everybody from sneezing or coughing.
