Sea anemones are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone. They have soft bodies that may be thick and short or long and slender. Most of the body is made up of water. Sea anemones range from less than 2.5 centimeters to about 1.5 meters across. Most sea anemones rarely move.

Lastly for share, I had to share my drawing on my blog and share the facts I have learned too.
Here are the facts I learnt about anemone
Sea anemones look like flowers but are actually animals. Their “petals” are armlike body
parts called tentacles.
There are more than 1,000 species, or kinds, of sea anemone. They live in oceans throughout the world.
Most sea anemones rarely move. Some glide very slowly or do slow somersaults. Sea anemones are usually found attached to a hard surface such as a rock, a seashell, or the back of a crab.
Sea anemones are related to jellyfish. Like a jellyfish, a sea anemone can sting a person who touches it. The sting can cause pain or sickness.
In today’s task, I did cipher and code again but it was the step it up task which is going to be a bit hard, as you know that kick start means easy and step it up means a bit hard. In this task I learnt what Grid Code is, also I made my emoji cipher. Follow the steps I did and you can make the activity too, but before that read what Grid code means. There is also a explanation of what grid code means on the slide too.
Grid Code
The Ancient Greeks invented this secret code, so it is ancient! Instead of the letters, you write the two numbers showing where to find the letter in the grid. For example, the letter S is in the fourth row and the third column, so it is written as 43.

The larn part was easy, it’s the same as the kick start. I just had to read the instructions on the slide. On the 2nd slide it shows the meaning of Encrypt, Decrypt, code and cipher, which was already there in the kick start activity so I didn’t have to read it.
