Echolocation :)

Dolphins have their own special way of hunting for food. It’s called ‘Echolocation’. As it is so dark under water, dolphins can not use sight as one of their senses. This is where echolocation comes in handy. Echolocation is when a dolphin makes a sound, and then the sound reflects off an object. It gets sent back to the dolphin. Dolphins can detect how far away this object is.

Dolphins aren't the only mammals that use echolocation. Bats for instance, use echolocation as it is essential for them. Bats are nocturnal, which means they sleep through the day and come out at night to hunt for food. No animal can see in complete darkness.  Bats send out small signals to find their food.

How to play netball.

How to play netball.


Netball is by far my favourite sport, of all time. To play this game, you have to have a lot of skill and patience. There are three thirds. That’s where seven position have there own place. Centre is the only position that is allowed to run in to those three thirds. On both ends of the court, there are Semicircles, that's the only place “Centre” isn’t allowed.
