MY FAVOURITE FREE WRITING PIECE

Hi! This is my favourite free writing piece out of all the free writing we have done for the 6 weeks we have done it for.



Hello! My name is berry the ant, I am a fellow worker ant of the humble queen’s ant colony!

My job is to go and cut down the big leaves and bring them to the builder ants to build into a fungus garden. I am one of the leafcutter ants, the ants that group up together to go and cut down leaves and such. Our queen is safely secured in a special chamber built by the builder workers.she is very special to us because she is the one producing more eggs for future generations. It’s actually quite a scary us ants have because anytime could a predator come and attack us or smash a part of our ant colony, which could resolve in a really bad situation. There are 4 different types of ants in our colony, There is The queen, The builders, The leafcutters and the runners. I haven’t really told you about the runners yet… what they do is very dangerous but good! Once we cut down the leaves of a sapling or plant we will pass the leaves to the runner’s which will carry it to the colony and then it will give to the builder’s and THEN the builders will build the fungus gardens to help contain the colony system.

Ants, unlike humans can carry 20x their own body weight (THAT’S STRONG RIGHT?) which is what helps the runners carry leaves around the place!

That’s all I have to say about the colony and how we live thanks for reading BYE!!!!
