Making Predictions

Connected - Level 4 - Oceans A Source of Life - Who's Eating Who by Bronwen Wall.

WALT: I am learning to make predictions on the text by looking at the title, Subtitles and Visual Cues.
I Predicted that this article is about......

• Penguins getting hungry so they eat other animals.
• Antarctica is one of the coldest places on earth.
• Big Dolphins coming and trying to eat the Penguins.
• Animals eating other animals.
• Birds flying to Antarctica and trying to eat the big animals like Seals, Krill,fish and squid that live in Antarctica.
• Fish staying alive because they eat and they 30 to 40 kilograms or more than 100 kg.

After I read the article, I found out that.......

A lot of different animals eat other animals and the penguins eat Leopard Seals and some birds fly long distances just to feast on Krill, Fish and Squid. I also learnt that Weddell seals live on Antarctic ice all year around. When penguins get hungry they eat Leopard Seal and Orca. Antarctica is one of the coldest places on earth and it experiences some of the worst storms.

Reading - Five star Rating

Today Room 8 had to rate out of 5 how good was their book like how much did they like the book.

1. Rate the book between 1-5 stars
2. Then explain why you gave it the specific rate

Why did you give it 4 stars?

I rated it a 4 because i think the pictures were amazing and the words are pretty long as hard to define in the dictionary the words like Phytoplankton and Zooplankton, and some of the words are hard to pronounce. At the same times the books kind of boring but then the book gets exciting for me when i see the pictures, and this book is just about animals that live in Antarctica and i think i know what the book is about because of the title on the second page it says Meet The Web Team and it has a bunch of animals that eat other animals so that's why i think the book is called Who’s Eating Who.

Making Predictions

Connected - Level 3 - Boarder Security - It seemed like a good idea at the time by Bronwen Wall

WALT: I am learning to make predictions on the text by looking at the tittle, subtitles and the visual cues.

I predicted that this article is about....

• Fast running animals get hungry because they run too much. 
• Rabbits arrived in New Zealand in the 1940s. 
• Rabbits and different kinds of animals getting introduced to New Zealand. 
• Ferrets, Weasels and Stoats came to New Zealand in a ship. 
• Farmers are happy because the harmful animals are dieing. 
• Ferrets got sick and passed its illness on to other ferrets on the ship.
• Stoats ate rats and mouses.

After I read the article, I found out that.......

Between 1884 and 1886, around 4000 ferrets, 3100 weasels, and 140 stoats were set free onto New Zealand. Animals travelling by sea needed to be well fed, comfortable, and calm. Ferrets, Stoats, and Weasels all belong to the mustelid family. There are 54 species in this family, including Badgers and Otters.
