Healthy eating

Today I learnt about healthy eating. I had a awesome time learning about healthy eating. The most interesting  fact was knowing that my body is like a car in a way. The easy part to me was asking  question about healthy eating. The hard part was understanding why we wouldn't be able to eat most junk food everyday but in the end I got. I enjoyed learning about healthy eating today.

Prime number

Today I had been working on an example that shows what composite and prime numbers are.
 The easy part about showing the examples was writing it out. The hard part was putting it in my own words and putting it in the right place.

Prime Numbers

This week I have been learning to identify a prime number. The easy part was knowing my timetables and the hard part was trying to be confident to find a prime number instantly without that much help. My teacher had gave me homework to do with prime numbers and that was amazing. These are the prime numbers I know so far 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 and 47. Next steps will be mastering all prime numbers past 100 and hope I get them all right!!

Eel Report

Last week I was working on a report about eels. The hard  part about writing this report was looking for the right facts that are about the eel. The easy part was gathering all my facts and putting them into the right paragraphs. Here is my work I hope you enjoy reading it!

Eel Report

General statement

 The New Zealand native eels are (pronounced tuna) it’s scientific name is anguilliformes.

These eels are coated with a thick layer of mucus allowing it to slither through broken branches and rocks beneath the water without getting injured.

Appearance

In shape, eels are elongate, slender-bodied fishes, almost tubular. When they are small, they have relatively smooth heads but as they grow the head becomes bulbous, with a prominent muscular dome behind the eyes.

Habitat

Eels are bottom dwellers,

most eels  are found in  creeks rivers, streams or in muddy and silt-bottomed lakes.

They hide in burrows , snags, tube, masses of plants and other shelters beneath water.

They are  really good at fitting into smaller hiding spots underneath water.

Life cycle

In autumn, adult eels leave fresh water and travel  from New Zealand to tropical seas somewhere in the South Pacific. The females release their eggs, the males fertilise them, and the adults die shortly after spawning. The eggs hatch into larvae then floats  to the surface and drift back towards New Zealand.

Closing statement

Longfin eels like to stay close to the surface as possible because they will get eaten by  eels bigger than them if they go into the  deep part of the river or lake. Longfin eels have sharp  teeth but there teeth are way too small for it to be able to take on larger eel. Do you think longfin eels have any chance?

Writing a paragraph

Today I did a paragraph on an eels appearance.

The easy part about writing the appearance paragraph was putting facts into sentences.

The hard part was finding high level words.

 This is the finishing touch of my paragraph.

Appearance

In shape, eels are elongate, slender-bodied fishes, almost tubular. When they are small, they have relatively smooth heads but as they grow the head becomes bulbous, with a prominent muscular dome behind the eyes.
