Title: Sea Turtles

Date: 2 / 08 / 201

Sea Turtles have existed since the Jurassic. They have been here for 150 Million years. They have survived through the challenges of the eons, and the dinosaurs. First, an adult female turtle lays its eggs in where she dug a hole to put the eggs there and protects them from threats. Its eggs feels leathery, and is sized and looks like white, ping-pong balls. Out of 1000 eggs being laid, roughly 20% will never hatch. Adults breed for 2 decades, which is 20 years. A small sea turtle can be about the size of your palm. Unfortunately, 50% who reach the surf will perish. 400 baby turtles reach the water. Along their way to the water, they face danger or threats, such as crabs, seagulls, raccoons, and debris (rubbish). A new host of predators such as; dolphins, sharks, sea birds, fishes, and mostly, killer whales, are also waiting for the sea turtles. Only 20 hatchlings (baby turtles) make it to the adult. After many years, they will grow in size. After approximately 2 decades of age, they will be old enough to breed. Of those that began from eggs in the beach, now less than -10% remain. Some turtles suffer with chemicals in the sea, which caused their survival rate drop to 1% or less, and that made the sea turtles overwhelmed. Now there are only seven remaining species of sea turtles; Loggerhead, Kemp’s Ridley, Olive Ridley, Hawksbill, Flatback, and Leatherback. Sea turtles are now endangered. There used to be millions of sea turtles in the world, but now there’s less than a million. That was a sad journey of growing up as a turtle since they suffer from many threats and they have to risk it just to make it to the adult, or just to survive. 4,600 - which means 90% - of turtles die each year.
	I like how you have a lot of information for each paragraph I also like how you have got a lot of punctuation I like how all of your sentences are interesting and simple I also like how you set out everything. I think you have to work on to try and not write so much. Merika; buddy checked

Title: How does it work?

Date: 23 / 7 / 2018

What is a pair of scissors, and what is it used of it? A pair of scissors consists of a pair of sharp blades that is rotated so that the sharpened edges would slide against each other when the handles are closed, That’s why you must be supervised by an adult. It is used for cutting thin things such as paper, plastic, rubber, cloth, etc. When using scissors, you can see that the pair of blades slide against each other and you can hear the scissors snip! If you touch the metal blade of the scissors, it would feel quiet cold. If the scissors are kinda rusty, it would smell kinda fishy. When using scissors for the first time, you must be supervised by an adult. How do we use scissors? Step 1: Grab and hold the scissors. Step 2: Put your thumb and your other fingers to the two handles. Step 3: Now, if you put the handles together, the scissors will be closed. And if you pull them apart, the scissors would be opened.
	Merika: I like how you changed your words into more interesting words. I also like how you wrote steps from using scissors. I think you need to work on more punctuation.

Every badges' story

Every badges' story

This week in Literacy, we have been learning about ANZAC Day. We had to get some things like maps, pictures of the soldiers that fought on the World War 1 and badges and we have to make a slideshow about it. We (Reuben, Riansha, and I) wrote about the three badges that came from the brave soldiers. I found it out hard when we were trying to find some answers to the unsolved problems. I found it out easy when we have to pick a picture. It was kind of hard, but I was proud because what I was doing is for the brave fallen soldiers and it was for ANZAC day!
