Moa Report

 For the past two weeks we have been researching an extinct animal from New Zealand. I chose the moa because it looked like a fun one to do.

My success criteria was to use some short sentences, some sentences with joining words (and, because) and to use some sentences with extra information. I think I did all of these.

What did you learn about the moa from reading my report?

Moa were from the Dinornithiformes family.

It had rough feathers which were brown and black. It looked like an ostrich because it had a small head, long neck, large body, strong legs and no wings and it could run fast. The females were bigger than the males. It was 3.6 meters tall and it lived in the wet brush grassland and forest. His diet was made up of small stones, pebbles and plant parts and twigs and shrubs. The maori people killed moa for its meat and made fish hook jewelry from its bones. They also cut down its habitat and ate all its eggs.
