KWL Chart

Today In LS1 Sam Fraidoon and me made a KWL chart on wallabies. Some information wa true and some information was false. For example I thought that wallabies eat meat but actually they eat small plants.

What I know	What I want to learn	What I learned
They are really good at fighting. They have a little cup pouch for their babies. There are a lot of kangaroos in Australia. They can hop high. They are yellowish and Orangish. Wallabies are protective for there babies. They follow their mother around.	Do they hunt for there foods? I want to learnt how are they good at fighting? What do they eat to get strong? What breed are the wallabies? What kind of food do they eat? What sorts of food do they eat? How much water do they drink? What are wallabies?	Wallabies were introduced to New Zealand over hundred years ago. They are a threat to farming and native forest because they eat small plants A new born baby is called a Joey.It is very tiny and weighs less than a gram. When a joey is newborn it finds it’s way through its mother's fur to her pouch It stays in her pouch, drinking milk from her nipple, for about eight months Wallabies cannot be released back into the wild , but they can be kept in a zoo and wildlife parks. A baby wallaby is called a joey.
