Literacy Reflection W7T3

This week for literacy We did a Explanation on a Galaxiid life cycle here is mine

What is the Life cycle of the Galaxiid

Whitebait is a word used to name the juvenile forms of five species of a New Zealand native fish called Galaxiid.  One of the species are called Inagua and this is what the life cycle is about

The whitebait lay there eggs in vegetation in the. Estuary in the spring tides when it becomes high tide. They break out of the eggs and become larvae.

They are very small smaller than whitebait and their threat are fish and bigger creatures like humans.

The larvae move into the sea and live there for about three or four months. and when they're ready they leave to the sea. And become whitebait.

white baits threats are the same as larvae and the white bait become bigger as they grow

They become whitebait by moving back to the place. They were born the Estuary  and live there as for 2 months. Then move to the freshwater.

When They move to the freshwater they become Inuga and live there for 1 month and  move down to The Estuary And lay their eggs in the vegetation and the life cycle starts again.

That's the life cycle of the Galaxiid. And I hope you now know how the life cycle works.

This is my Connectives slide

We also did a Info grid about endangered animals I did whitebait a Red Panda and  a Fossa and here it is

Endangered Creature Info Grid

	Creature 1: whitebait	Creature 2: Red panda	Creature 3: Fossa
Why are they endangered?	Because every time it is september it is whitebait season,  and are caught.  Being trampled by cattle when they are eggs,  Pollution in the water from cows.  Being eaten by bigger fish at sea and in the rivers.	Because of hunters.  Cutting down of their food source, and habitat for farming and housing.	Because of habitat loss due to sapphire mining,  and housing.   Also the rapid decrease of lemurs which is its main food source.
What is their natural habitat?	Oceans ,rivers  and estuaries	The trees of the forest around the Eastern Himalayas.	The jungles of Madagascar.
What do they eat?	They eat zooplankton and algae and smaller insects such as flies, midges and moths.	They are herbivores, so they  eat leaves	They eat meat, mainly Lemur.
Interesting or unique behaviour traits.	They swim in schools up the river.   They migrate from sea to fresh water.  They are native to New Zealand.	They are not as big as the normal panda.  Very acrobatic and live in trees. The name panda came from ponya	They can jump really high.  They are the largest Carnivore animal of Madagascar.  They live solitary lives,  so not in pacts.
Key features (description)	They are very small.   Silvery white with black lines and spots	They are a maroon color,   slightly bigger than a domestic cat.	There fur is red brown or black,  they are a dog looking face, but their bodies look like a cat.
How can we help them.	By not having a whitebait season or restricting the fishing.  Fencing the waterways,  Stopping of pollution of our waterways.	By not hunting them .   We could create a reserve for them to be safe.   Or replant forest and food sources.	By not cutting down trees.  Making a reserve on Madagascar where lemurs and Fossa’s are safe.

This week for literacy we did word work here is my'n.



















also this week we did wonderopolis.

The night was still. Not a breath of wind could be felt. An eerie silence filled the warm evening air, broken only by the sound of the crow’s wings flapping as it returned to its nest with food.

Combined with the ghostly silhouette of the tower and the rickety pathway that led to it, the ominous silence made Lucy nervous. She felt a prickle on the back of her neck as she thought about what she might find inside the tower, and what might be lurking in the darkness around her.

Her heart began to thump inside her chest, seemingly matching the beat of the crow’s wings.

Lucy had always been slightly wary of crows; they had sooty, black wings, piercingly sharp beaks and menacing, staring eyes. The crow had settled down in one of the gnarled branches of a nearby tree. She thought it was watching her. Surely it wasn’t though? Crows didn’t do that. It must have been her imagination.

Plucking up all of her courage, she approached the stairs. They looked rotten and crumbling, as if nobody had set foot on them for years and years. The crow was still staring at her, and had tilted its head to one side as if pointing its beak towards the tower. “What was this crow up to?” she thought to herself.

“Are you trying to warn me about something?” she asked the crow. The crow did not respond, only shuffling its feet slightly on the branch, head still tilted to one side. She frowned. “Of course you’re not trying to warn me about something, you’re just a stupid bird.”

Her eyes left the crow and she ascended the first few steps on the rickety path towards the tower. “It’s just a silly bird.” Lucy muttered to herself under her breath. “Don’t be such a wimp.”

The crow watched as she left, and smiled. A wicked, cruel smile accompanied by a cackling laugh. “Silly, silly girl” it squawked. “I must tell the others she is coming.”

The crow took off into the night i

Can you continue Lucy’s story as she visits the Forbidden Tower? Where was the crow going? What would Lucy find inside?
