Writing - tuna (Eels)

 Over the last couple of weeks we have been researching information about Tuna (eels). We have been learning to write a report using the information we have found.

Our challenges were to include a complex sentence and to use a hyphen followed by a list.

Long fin eels (tuna) are only found in New Zealand.  long fin eels come in different shapes and sizes.  And the long fin eels have got lots of bumps.

They are more than a metre long and sometimes bigger than your arm or leg. The eels hides in the slimy scaly slippery shadows - concealed lurking and out of sight .Slithering around in the ghouly shady - shallows the eels

How do you think I did and how can I improve?

 Why dogs are the

Best pets. 

When it comes to pets, it is without a doubt that dogs

most certainly make the best pets. Dogs are loyal,

affectionate and active animals, making them perfect

pets for children.

Firstly, everyone knows that dogs are the most loyal

of pets. They will sit with you when you are sick, they

love to spend time with you, play with you and they

will guard your house.

Secondly, it is widely known that dogs are affectionate.

Dogs like to be hugged, petted and rubbed by their

owners. Dogs also excitedly greet you when you come

home - no other pet will run, jump up and hug you as

soon as you walk through the door!

Finally, dogs are active animals. They require regular

walking which means that children who walk their

dogs will also get regular exercise. Dogs love to play

fetch which is also a great outdoor activity.

In conclusion, there is no question that dogs make the

best pet for children. This is because of their loyalty,

their affectionate nature and their active lifestyle. Do

yourself a favor and buy a dog today!
