Explanation writing about Sharks

Sharks becoming extinct

There once were many sharks in the world. Today, there are not many left. The question is WHY?

The Chinese and the Japanese are running shark finning ships. This is very bad because they kill the sharks in big nets, cut the fins off and then throw the rest of the shark in the rubbish.

Many sharks are being killed each month. If this continues to happen then the sharks will become extinct like the dinosaurs.

We should stop and think about the animals which help sea like sharks. The Japanese and Chinese also need to be punished for what they do to this special sea creature.

Reading activity for this week

This week I read Just to be safe by John Lockyer. It is a fiction story. 

Our WALT was to question the author's purpose for writing the story. 

The author wrote the story so children can be safe when they go on a trip. In the story grandma is the person who keeps the children safe. She asked Kate not to go on the flying fox because it was too fast. Grandma told Kate that she was too young for the flying fox because you have to be 10 years old to go on the flying fox.
