Welcome to this Room 11 blog. Our learning philosophy is to LEARN, CREATE an artifact that shows our learning, and then SHARE it in creative ways, including posting it here on this blog.The purpose of this blog is for students to become accustomed to sharing their learning, recieving feedback, and preparing them for having their very own blog.While students will make every effort to have work corrected and error free it is in fact authentic student work, showing where students are at, and so there are likely to be some mistakes. The aim is to note progress and improvement, and we expect to see this over time.

Report about Cockatiels
By Aidan and Sam and Adam
The Cockatiel is a Bird (howls of amazement) from the Cockatoo sub family : Nymphicinae. It is the smallest of the Cacatuidae family.



The habitat
Cockatiels are native to Australia and they like the Wetlands, Bushlands and Scrublands. The Cockatiels live in Australia and many people adopt them to keep them in cages as pets.
Their life span

Cockatiels can live up to 15 or 20 years. the shortest life span for a cockatiel is 10, and the highest is 36 years old.



Cockatiels behaviour
Cockatiels live in cages at their adopters house and exercise and special people train them so they can exercise and do tricks.
Cockatiel colour mutations.
there are 15 different colour mutations including grey, pied, pearled, cinnamon, whitefaced, lutino, albino and yellowcheek.



Fact’s

The cockatiels were not so popular in the 1770 they got popular when there was a gold rush in the 1900’s. The cockatiel was the most wild kept parrot except the parakeet or budgie. The cockatiels diet is cooked rice, corn, pasta and bean mixture.





And that is Sam’s and Aidan’s and Adam’s report.  Thank you for reading.

    Great to see you all working together as a team. I like the way you put in sub titles, it made your report easy to follow & it was interesting to read.

    I wonder if you could make your report as colourful as a cockatiel? Some ideas for you to think about. Changing the colour of the text, including clipart or perhaps the background rather than being white, could be a photo image of a cockatiel.
    You mention cockatiel's can do tricks! A video link would have been fun to watch.
    Well done guys!

    This link shows you how to add a background colour or an image to your individual posts on the blog - so they stand out from everyone elses! http://helplogger.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/how-to-add-different-background-color.html
    Check with Mr Corlett first! I don't think he'll want minecraft wallpaper all over the blog! ;);)
