I have been learning to summaries what I read I only put in what where the key Ideas. I learnt who to find key Ideas and I learnt about the life cycle.
Image result for Pacific paradise mary campbellLast week I have been reading an article called Pacific Paradise. It is Written by Mary Campbell.

This book is mostly about the teachings of longfin eels and shortfin eels. From this book I learnt the life cycle of the longfin eel from a little egg until they die of exhaustion.

The first metamorphosis (transformation) is that they are little eggs, and when they get a little bit older they turn into a larva (an immature form of an insect or other animal) then the second transformation is a glass eel and as they get a bit more older they transform into a elver eel then as they get older they turn into an adult eel then it transforms into spawning eels.Image result for Pacific paradise mary campbell
Here is an example of the longfin eel life cycle.


This book also teaches us the location to find the eel and the types of food they eat and also their length of the fish and people say that the eels might go extinct this is because Hydro dams and other water reservoirs are blocking the migration(an animal's long journey to breed or to live somewhere else) of the elver upstream. Now that's a big deal for me.


My favourite bit on this book was when I got to learn the life cycle of the longfin eel it was very interesting because I had never known that longfin eels diel of exhaustion after they have had their eggs. I learnt that longfin eels go through a huge metamorphosis and recently I have learnt that metamorphosis means a transformation. I recommend this book to advanced readers because some words in this book is a little bit challenging. Hey, wait for a sec, I wonder what you’ve been reading?

Hello I am learning to Connect my ideas together using different connectives and a variety of sentence beginnings.

I am learning to connect my ideas together using different connectives and a variety of sentence beginnings.


To be successful I will start sentences like this


  • For example,
  • Added to this,
  • If … then
  • In others words
  • Plus

I think homework is important

One reason why I think homework is important is because it will help you to be successful.
For example you might have a  test and you have  homework that  can teach you about whatever your test is about. Added to this, homework is like a teacher but at home.
Another reason why I think homework is important is because you can get faster and faster at times tables by practising it. It can help you in things other than of maths too. For example, you can read too. Reading at home will help you move up in reading levels. When you have a reading test you will be able to read well because  you practice at home. Practice makes perfect!


My Second reason why I think homework is important is because when you grow up and get a job you will need to do extra work more than you really do.For another example when you do extra work you can get promoted and then you can be 2ic when the boss is not here

As I have said  homework is important it can make your dreams come true and make you be so successful.




Our next learning steps are:
To have more background information in the introduction.
To independently use the correct structure for persuasive
To learn about and use emotive words in my writing.

Having a fun and scary swim Draft 2.

One hot sunny Saturday me my sister, my cousin’s and nana went for a swim at Mission Oak. As I was swimming I nearly got pushed into the bars of the bridge. I was freaked out of my brains. I thought that I was going to get sore but I put my arm by my face so it wouldn’t get hurt.

I nearly got a bruise on my leg. As we weren't allowed to swim in the rain my nana got sick from swimming in the rain. We went home and had a good Kai we had boil up takao and eggs it was delicious for dinner.

The next morning me and my family went for another swim and it wasn’t flooded so we jumped of the log and we swam under the big log. You wouldn’t believe this my cousin can fit under the big log and he is massive I thought he was going to get stuck But he didn't My nana thought we were drowning but we weren't we were swimming under the log. When we came out of the water my nana said where did use go and we said under the big log.  

when I came out I thought that my nana would have been gone but she wasn't  she was just sitting in the car waiting for us. My heart was beating so fast  as a train when I went under the log it was like is was going to die under the log because my heart was beating fast. That was the scariest day of my life and I will never do that again.
