Reading D.L.O

We are learning to read with fluency

To be successful I will:

• Pause at commas
• Stop at full stops
• Sound natural (not like a robot)
• Adjust my reading speed when I come  to difficult words

When I listen to my reading I think that I done good. I think I was successful at everything.
What I found hard was reading the difficult words on this page.

 I won’t rush my reading.

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.

Do you read?

Today in class we all read Bok Choy. This book is written by Paul Mason. It is a non-fiction book but it is based on fiction events.

This book is mostly about a little boy named Jacob and a gold miner named Ah Sum. The setting is in Otago and it was 1865 on the gold mines on New Gold Mountain. It is a racisim story. The two racist are Mrs Bishop and her son William they are very mean to Ah Sum. Mrs Bishop thinks that Chinese are so desperate for money that they would even sell off their family. A lot of the pakeha made the Chinese live on the hills and the pakeha can live on the flat parts  with flash built houses.

My favorite part was when Jacobs mother said how can I thank you and Ah Sum just smiled and then the mother said “I insisted you come to my house tomorrow.What have you been reading in class?

If you love reading then read my book review.

My Recent Reading

This week I read The Maori Pioneer Battalion it is a non-fiction report. The author of this book is Monty Soutar. This book report is a WW1 report.The book is manly about Maori men trying to become equal with the pakeha to show them how strong they are and to fight beside them on the battlefields instead of digging trenches and making supply depots.

My favorite part in the report is when the soldiers were ordered to attack Turkish trenches and they took them down one by one and people at the time were actually surprised that the wanted to be soldiers and when they were allowed to go in war. When they came back they were praised by everyone because they were so brave and took down the Turkish fighters just like that.

I wonder what you have been reading in class?

Do you know what cool book reviews are if you don't then read my book review.
