The Disapering Eel.

I was writing an explanation and this was what I had to do to be successful in my explanation writing.

Start with an introduction that has

• Background information (hooking readers)
• End with a focus question.

Paragraphs that explain they will have

• Lead sentences to focus my ideas.
• Technical langue.
• Sequence words such as firstly, because,so,as a result ,another reason, in summary.

Conclusion that links back to the focus question.

What do I want to explain? How can we prevent eels from being extinct.

• Paragraph 1 will be about. What is things are making eels unable to migration.
• Paragraph 2 will be about. How dams are stopping them
• Paragraph 3 will be about.  How eels are being fished up is bad.

Intro

Eel’s are slithery slimy and disgusting right well you don't know the whole story, they are endangered. I am going to explain how we can prevent eels from being extinct?

What stops them

Firstly the things that are making eels unable to spawn are dams,causeways,culverts,pollution and fishing. Each and every one of these things do something bad to the longfin eel. These things, dams and fishing,  are two of the main things stopping of migration for eels. But don't worry, people that build these we can still prevent the extinction of eels from happening.

Dams

How are dams stopping eels? Dams have pipe holes that lead to the other side so the eels can get through well not really there are two things in the pipe that stops the eels from getting to the other side these are a turbine and the intake the turbine will chop them up if they get through the turbine they then have to escape the intake an intake sucks up water if they get through this then they are on the other side if they don't then they will be stuck and time will pass and they will die.

Fishing

Lastly eels are being fished up you all might think this isn’t that bad but it is. If a female longfin gets caught her generation will stop because there is no other way to spawn unless she had a daughter of cause but if she didn’t what would happen this is how the eel extinction will begin.

How we can help

We can help by putting pipes through the dams letting the eels swim through. For culverts you could add a hole only for eels this will be very good so the eels extinction will be prevented.

Summary

As a result to this if you build one of these things in the future make sure to think that eels will still get to the ocean to spawn.

Lets Classify Animals.

We are posting this video because we have learnt to classify animals by their attributes. We have classified animals in groups like mammals , reptiles insects and more. What I found hard was learning how to classify the animal into its class . What I liked was screencastifying our work.

Te Reo Moari Masters.

This is our Te Reo Moari presentation W.A.L.T say and write sentences with present past and future tense  we are posting this presentation to share our learning of Te Reo Moari What I found easy was making the sentences, what I found hard was finding the Moari word for a English word. What I liked was learning how to structure it. The Moari tense for future is Ka the Moari tense for past is I the Moari word for present E...ana.

The athletes.

On Thursday we went to Kaikohe East School to participate in the inter-school athletics we were  put into our year groups. I was in the Year 5 grade I really enjoyed shot-put I was very excited that my mum and dad came to watch me. I was  that I came first in shot-put and second in the 200 meter run. We versed Okaihau Primary, West school, East school, Ohaewai school and Christian school. I was also lucky that my dad came a day before to teach me my techniques for shot-put and discs.
