Writing Tuna (Eels)

 Over the last couple of weeks we have been researching information about Tuna (eels). We have been learning to write a report using the information we have found.
Our challenges were to include a complex sentence and to use a hyphen followed by a list.

The longfin eels live around new Zealand and you can find them in dark waterways.

They use their sense of smell hunt its prey in a flash - swift mucky and dangerous.

They can live up to 100 year old and can grow up to two metres long and there are over 400 hundreds species of eels. Some species of eels travel up to 4,000 miles just to breed.

Here is my letter.

Dear Tama           

Do you remember when you went into lock-down for seven weeks because of the corona virus? At the start you were happy but later you got bored of staying at home all day and not doing anything. 

Your Favorite thing in lock-down was playing fortnite with your friends, playing on the trampoline with your sister and eating takeaways. 

Do you live in Australia? 

Do you have a pug? 

Do you work for the police? 

 

have you written a letter to your self before?   

Jolly jars🐱🐱

This term, our Project Based Learning started with the teachers having to form groups and collaboratively create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others. My group made snow globes for are PBL.

Here is a link  to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be clear and  make sense. They need a title materials and steps to follow.

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jar my group made snow globes.

I contributed to my group by bringing materials and I decorated the jar. I helped with making the instructions and listened to ideas.

What I learned about working with others was that all of us are different at doing different things.

How did we build community through our actions by raising money to finish the bike track.
