Avalon Explanation Writing Plan: Camels

Explanation Writing Plan

How have camels adapted to their environment?

Did you know Camels live in 42 dreegs that's probably why They use pads for their feet and chest to help them lay down. These are things Camels do when they adapt to their environment.

Camels live in the desert it is very hot and barely has any water.  Camels have to adapt to their environment because there is not that much water in the desert. The sand that covers the ground is extremely hot  during the day times. The strong storm sands can cause to move fast if the sand is strong it can blind you

This means the camels have to try and adapt to the desert. They have eyelashes to keep the sand away from their eyes. Their thick lips to help them eat Twigs,Thorns and more trees in the desert. Their nostrils that close to help not get any sand up a camels nostrils.

The sand can make you blind because the sand is really strong. The food camels eat are thorns, Plants and cactus trees. They find these foods in the desert As strange as it seems when camels are eating they get water from the plants. They have hump and this is used to store fat and water inside so they can stay hydrated for a long time in the desert this can last them about 30 days.

Camels are really great. A camels long legs helps keep its body further out from the  hot desert sand and did you know Camels can eat a cactus without getting hurt because their thick lips help them eat without getting hurt. Camels can store upto 100 pounds or 45 kilograms of fat in their hump. Most Camels don’t sweat until they reach about 105 degrees

This week for Writing we were learning about how camels have adapted to their environment and body to survive in the desert. For this activity each person created an explanation plan about the parts of their bodies and the changes they make what they eat and who much water they can drink. I really enjoyed doing this activity because these animals have made great changes. 

Kiwi Can Reflection

This week for Kiwi Can we were learning about Respect for our school. Respect means being kind and respecting our elders which are our Teachers, Parents and Grandparents. What we did first was we talked about some school rules that we have in school  l said to respect others and being kind to one and other. The next thing we did was we played an activity we spit into two groups and we got asked a question and we had to come up with some answers to the question in our group. For example one team would have a question like should we have fizzy drinks at school and the other team would have Why we should't have fizzy drinks at school so it is like a adept between teams. After that activity we sat down and talked about how this activity learn about Respect.

Formal / Informal Letters

Dear Mr Johnston,

I am writing to complain about the condition of the playground.
Over the last two weeks, I have noticed a great deal of litter.

Dear James,
How are you? I’ve been dead busy Since your last letter.
We have to work really hard at school to get ready
for our PAT tests.

This week for Reading we were looking at the differences between Formal and Informal. The Formal writing is used for Greeting Cards, Emails and Work mates. The Informal is used for Text message, talking to friends, grocery list or talking to the family. The writing examples show formal sentence and informal sentences. So you can understand more about Informal and Formal.
