My Explanation writing about Tuataras

This term we have been learning about explanation writing to do this we have been making life cycles about animals.I think I did good at making it really descriptive but I think I have to work on my punctuation.To make a explanation you need to have these things title, introduction, subtitles, stages, technical language and factual information. We watched videos about tuataras and we got given a fact sheet to help us. Do you like Tuataras?






.The Life Cycle Of A Tuatara

This is my explanation about Tuataras I hope you like it.

Egg

A Female Tuatara lays about 10-19 eggs underground. it depends if it is warm the baby Tuataras will be females if it is cold they will be males.It takes about 12-15 months before hatching.

The Hatching Stage

When the babies have hatched they are left to defend themselves also hatchlings have 3 eyes! Hatchling are about 12 to 15 cm´s long.

The Juvenile Stage

For their first 15 years Tuataras are called Juveniles,Juveniles do not mate or have babies.Juveniles avoid adult Tuataras by only coming out during the day to hunt.Juveniles grow scales over their third eye.

The Adult Stage

Adult Tuataras are about 45-60 cms long.Adult Tuataras sleep during the day and hunt at night.

I like Tuataras because they are like mini dinosaurs Also, my goal is to check it makes sense.

My surface pressure experiment

My Surface pressure experiment 

Last week we did a surface pressure experiment it was really fun and I made recount about it and this it.And in your recount you need your 5 w words,they are what,where,when,why,who.I did well at putting more punctuation in my work but I need to work on using more descriptive words.Also what do you know about surface pressure?

The Balloon experiment  

              

On Wednesday we did a surface pressure experiment with balloons as a class in room four, we did to learn more about surface                                                         pressure.

First we blew up the balloons.

Secondly we put the balloons in the middle of the circle.

Next we flipped the table on the balloons but nothing popped.

Then we first put on the table Kate G and Nevaeh but still nothing happened,

 Then we tried Bryce Fletcher Ocea Alex Quinn Aimee then two popped.

It was really scary and exciting at the same time because the balloons could pop at any moment and it's fun to see them pop,and that is what happened.When we put more people on the Table the balloons popped.

Best day ever!!!

This week we have been learning about recounts.I achieved my goal and my goal was to check if my writing made sense.My next step is to use more describing words and This my recount.

The best day ever\Disneyland
