These shapes are called regular polygons.

Butterflies use their feet to taste. As soon as they land on a plant, they can taste whether a caterpillar will eat the leaves. This helps them choose a place to lay their eggs so that as soon as the eggs hatch, they young caterpillars can begin eating straight away!
The purpose of a map is to show where things are. Maps may show features you can see, such as rivers and lakes, forests, buildings, and roads. They may also show things that cannot be seen, such as boundaries and temperatures. Most maps are drawn on a flat surface. A map displayed on a round surface is called a globe.
Tomatoes are actually a fruit and not a vegetable because they contain seeds and grow from the flower of the tomato plant.
Coral may look like a plant but they are actually animals. They live in warm waters under the sea and attach themselves to rocks. They feed on plankton, a small organism that drifts in the sea. When a ridge of coral and coral skeletons form together under the sea, it is known as a coral reef.
In African folklore and legends, animals are important characters that can often talk and perform human activities. In most African folklore it is believed that animals brought death to the world. An example is the story of the hyena who cut the rope between our world and heaven. Tortoises and turtles are popular animals in folktales and feature in many different cultures. One example is the creation story of Native American tribes that believed a female turtle carried the world on the back of her shell.

English is mostly derived from Latin and Greek but also uses words from many other languages. This is due to trading, where English travellers visited lands where people spoke different languages and traded items, such as gold and tea, with them.
An organisation called the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a list of species that are in danger of extinction (dying out). Let’s look at three of their groups:
Critically endangered: this means that a certain breed of animal or type of plant has a very high risk of dying out. An example of a critically endangered animal is the Black Rhino.
Endangered: this means that a certain breed of animal or type of plant has a high risk of becoming extinct (dying out). An example of an endangered species is an African wild dog.
Vulnerable: this applies to certain breeds of animals or types of plants that are likely to become endangered if their numbers decline (go down). The African Elephant is listed as a vulnerable species.
The most common hyena is the spotted hyena. Every spotted hyena has a different set of spots! Hyenas have such strong jaws that they are able to eat and digest bone, horns, hooves and even teeth!
Exercising helps you stay healthy! Exercise helps to protect your body against disease. This means you may not get as sick as someone who does not exercise.
One of the most endangered snakes in the world is from South Africa. It is called the Albany Adder.
In 2020, eight species of bees were put on the endangered list.
Great White sharks are listed as vulnerable.
The population of Great White sharks has decreased (got less) over the years as they are hunted for their fins as well as for their teeth.
