THE SMALL Es ARE JUST COLOUR.
THE Ls ARE JUST TREES.
THE Os AND Ns ARE PENGUINS BUT NOT THE PINK N.
THE W IS WATER.
THE BIG E IS A GRASSY HILL.
THE D IS A SEAL.
THE P IS A FISH AND WATER.
THE G IS THE COLOUR OF A HUMAN.
THE U IS BLOOD.
THE I IS A SQUID.

The gap in the y represents water the first l is a ruler saying what height  the yellow eyed penguin is. The second l is a tree for shelter. The o is a drip of water meaning the yellow eyed penguin is not waterproof. The sign mean no photos allowed. The g is a dog tied up so it can’t harm the yellow eyed penguin. There is a yellow eyed penguin walking down from the w to the u. the yellow eyed penguin is hiding because they are not social. The colours of the letters are the colours of the yellow eyed penguin. I hope this inspires you.

My name is Rebecca but call me Becks I am 11 and I’m in year 6 at Beckenham School. I did threats as my theme. The “Y” of my yellow eyed penguin stands for how they are being scared away from their nests by people. The “E” stands for mustelids (weasels and ferrets) eating their eggs. The two “L’s” stand for how there habitat is being cut down. The “O” is a paw which stands for predators like dogs, cats, ferrets, rats and weasels. The “W” stands for how unwanted cats and kittens are dumped. The “E/Y” stands for how weasels and ferrets are eating the yellow eyed penguin eggs. The “E” stands for how dogs are running free and scaring and killing the yellow eyed penguins just for fun. The “D” stands for how penguins are getting caught in traps intended for weasels, possums, rats and any other pests. The “P” stands for oil spills, The “E/N/G” stands for that during the yellow eyed penguins moulting season they can be easily killed or hurt by predators or scared into the sea by predators forgetting that they are not water proof. The “I” stands for a sea predator like a barracuda or a shark chasing the yellow eyed penguin, and the picture beside the “N” is a yellow eyed penguin caught in a gill net. thank you for taking the time to read my yellow eyed J.

Hi my name is Alex and my yellow eyed-penguin is about threats.

The Y means that people are making houses to catch penguins.
The two L’s means that people are making traps for penguins.
The other Y means that people are cutting trees down.
The d is just an eye. (Yellow)
The p is a fish.
The n is two fish and on top is someone is throwing garbage
In the water.

For my yellow eyed penguin I have done ideal things

• The ‘Y’ represents habitat as the Y.E.P’s habitat is in tall bush.
• The ‘E’ stands for man made nests, which have been made because of habitat loss.
• The two ‘L’s represent there food fish.
• The ‘W’ is another man made shelter.
• Lastly above the ‘N,G,U,I and N’ is a litter free zone sign

I can see the teaching and learning that has gone on to get the kids to that level of understanding.

These pictures are still to come.
