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.

Report Writing

We have been learning how to do a report. We were given a report that had been cut up into sentences. Ezra and I put them into paragraphs. The paragraphs where about the same thing. One paragraph said where it lives, another paragraph said what it looks like and there was a fun fact. 

I enjoyed putting the paragraphs together.

I found it tricky to put the words in order.

My did Digital learning shows I can take a photo and put it on my blog.
