A poem by Taki

Year 6 in Room 7 have been attending poetry workshops this week. This is Taki's poem.

 MATARIKI POEM 

7 stars in the sky shining bright in the night
I’m a man walking in the night looking at the 7 stars so bright
I’m a man that got all my question right about the seven stars
My raps are so tight and so bright like 7 stars in the sky.

Explanation writing about Sharks

Sharks becoming extinct

There once were many sharks in the world. Today, there are not many left. The question is WHY?

The Chinese and the Japanese are running shark finning ships. This is very bad because they kill the sharks in big nets, cut the fins off and then throw the rest of the shark in the rubbish.

Many sharks are being killed each month. If this continues to happen then the sharks will become extinct like the dinosaurs.

We should stop and think about the animals which help sea like sharks. The Japanese and Chinese also need to be punished for what they do to this special sea creature.

Luisa's information report about penguins

Penguins are a member of the bird family

Penguins have two feet and wings. Some penguins have yellow chests and orange beaks and small penguins have hairy eyebrows. Other small penguins are fluffy and cute.

Penguins live on small islands and live near the sea and ocean so they can hunt for food. They also live in Antarctica, New Zealand, Peru and Argentina. Most penguins live in cold places.

Penguins are very strong swimmers and are good at hunting fish. Penguins sometimes slide on their tummies so they can move around faster and don’t need to waddle around. Penguins can stay underwater for up to 18 minutes.

Penguins are carnivores, so they eat fish like Silverfish, lanternfish and Mullets. They also eat  Crustaceans, krill, squid and octopuses.

Lots of birds can not live in cold and icy places but penguins can. They have found a way to survive the freezing conditions.
