Writing - What is in the sea water, what does it do?

I found this task fun, because I got to learn new things about what happens in the water.

I learnt that the sea water gives us oxygen.

I found this task fun.

What’s is in the water, in the sea, what does it do?

In the water there are animals, like sharks fish Sea snails & lot’s more.

There are also animals like marine turtles and others.

There are things like seaweed corals, rocks and shells in the water.

Others such as starfish, dolphins, killer whales and much more.

The animals that live in the water actually help us humans, because humans eat sea animals they are called food, to humans.

The animals help the sea water, they help the water by going certain ways.

They also help the water a living home, to themselves.

The water is very important to the animals because they need it to breath, they can’t live without water.

The sea water helps us humans to breathe, the water gives us humans oxygen.

The water also helps by giving  good new nutrition.

Sea water may also help to hydrate and improve the appearance of your skin.

Bathing in a magnesium rich dead sea salt, the solution helps your skin moisture.

Sea water is good for all things, such as humans and animals.

There are only seven seas in the world….

I learnt this week for writing - How to do descriptive writing.

I learnt how to write in first person - like present, writing something happening right now.

I also learnt how to do writing in a few things have haven't done before.

Sylvia’s Writing picture

Me and my mother was walking quickly to the shop, it started raining so we pulled out the black umbrella.

Me and my mother saw living fish falling down from the sky, my mother said ‘oh look we don’t need to go to the shop anymore to buy fish we can just catch it from the sky.

Me and my mother catched two big fish from the sky and took it home to cook quickly for dinner, so we can go to sleep.

We waited for an hour and a half for the fish to cook, so we can have dinner.

The fish was ready to eat, so my mother got some food out and put it onto plates for us to eat.

We were walking along the forest and we saw a village filled with tiny little creatures made of wood and different kinds of things.

They were so busy that they didn’t notice that we were right there.

My friend stood on something and the little tiny creatures were running fast around in circles not knowing what to do?

My friend freaked out so she picked up the thing that she stood on and looked, she said ‘oh no’ I am so sorry for standing on you what can I do to make it better?

The little creature said something but we didn’t understand, so we said sorry I beg your parden - so the little creature did sign language and it used it’s hands and said pull my leg, so she pulled it’s leg and the creature came back to normal so she put it back down and we left.

I hopped onto this spinning turner and I went really fast around in circles.

I tried to stop but it wouldn’t stop so I asked my friend to help me stop the Crazy ride I was on.

My friend tried to help stop the ride, it started to slow down a little bit but she had to keep slowing it down.

I jumped off the ride and bonked my head on the edge of the crazy thing I was on.

I said wow i am never coming to this place again and going on that ride ever.
