Room 6 Reports

Room 6 students have been writing reports about all sorts of things they know about.  Writing a report is similar to most other types of writing – It has a title, an introduction, a description and a conclusion.  Reports are written in the present tense.  

Here are just a handful of our wonderful reports …

The Black Mamba

The Black Mamba is a snake,

The Black Mamba comes in one colour – black.  They are scaly.

They only live in one country, that is Africa – all over Africa.

It mostly hunts in the plains.  Two mice can fill it up for a month.  They slither along the ground.  They are the second deadliest snake in the world,

Fortunately there are no Black Mamba snakes in New Zealand.

Computers

A computer has a big brain because it remembers everything.  The computer is made out of steel and glass and has lots of different things like screws, buttons and ink.  It has lots of cords that connect to the power.  The computer is a square shape.  It has a keyboard.  The computer connects to the keyboard.  You can play games like Kizi, Friv and Road Blocks.  But you need the internet!  It’s a pain when I’m trying to sneak onto it.  But I always seem to get caught by Mum!  A keyboard is used to type things onto the computer and then you can print it off with a printer.  The printer connects to the computer so that it knows what to print off.

Goats

Goats can be white, black, black and white, brown, brown and black, or white, black and brown.

They can live just about anywhere in the world, but are mostly in Egypt.

Goats are mammals because they give birth to live babies.

They have horns like a Triceratops and baggy ears like an elephant.

It likes eating trees, grass and many other things.

Sometimes they fight and push away dogs and things that could attack.

My goat has black spots on its nose and its pale white.  She is cute.

R6’s Class Pet

Room 6’s pet was a mouse.  It was a furry mammal.

This mouse was brown, between 7-14cm long, extremely cute and very athletic.

It lived behind the velvet covered, red couch, which sits close to the food bin.  He was often seen trying to escape from it.

He liked sitting on top of the rugby ball to listen to stories.

He was very distracting.  Our pet stay long thanks to Mr Wooster.

The Megaladon

The biggest shark that ever lived.

Some scientists say they’re mammals because they give birth to their babies.  They mostly look like a great white, but much bigger.  They are about 20m long and live in New Zealand, Australia, India and America.  They take out all whales by biting their flippers off .  The only fossils of them found are their teeth!

This shark is in the movie Jaws.

Australia

Australia is large country with many experiences.

Australia is the country with the most deadly creatures on the planet, such as Taipans, sea snakes and platypus.

Australia also has the mighty Sydney Opera House – a huge building that has more than 1 million white granite tiles.  Australia also owns the Great Barrier Reef – a large coral sea with loads of fish.

Australia’s capital is Canberra. 

Australia lies on the coast of the Pacific, about three hours flight from New Zealand.

I like to go to Australia because of their great hotels.

Rugby

Rugby is a sport.

There are 15 people in a team on the field with two teams.  You score tries and tackle.  When you get a try you get to kick the ball over the goal post and if you get it over you get 5 points.  A game is 2 hours.  I like rugby because you can tackle people and score tries.  Rugby is a winter sport.

Rugby is my favourite sport.

The Twits

Mrs Anderson read Roald Dahl's book, 'The Twits' to the class.  She thought it was a great opportunity to do some descriptive writing!

TASK: 

Write an interesting description of the Twits.  Include what they look like, their likes/dislikes and things they do.  We also had to share our own opinion of the 'terrible twosome'! 

Here are just three samples of the wonderful writing created!  

The Twits, those old, hairy hedgehogs like torturing kids, birds, monkeys and each other.  They love bird pie, any kind of bird pie – magpie, song-thrush and many more.  In a cage in the garden they have monkeys.  The monkeys were Muggle Wump and his family.  Their life was upside down.  Mrs Twit was a walking nightmare.  She was the ugliest young girl and is now an old, filthy woman.  People will never go near them.  People will go running, screaming, if they saw the Twits.  The old man and woman fight a lot, filthy freaks they are.

Written by Abigail

The mean, hairy, horrible Twits like to do pranks and kill birds.  They don’t like nice people, kids, smiles and each other.  They look like people I’d never like to meet.  Mrs Twit is as smelly as dog poo on your shoe, a glass-eyed freak, a walking stick nightmare.  You’d think she’s a man growing a beard and her mono-brow.  She should get a job chopping carrots… with her nose.  Her pants are so high you don’t know where her stomach is.  Smiles, fun, kids, happiness and her husband is what she hates.  Mr Twit?  His nose is like a pig’s snout.

Written by Sabine

Mr Twit looks really disgusting.  He has bogies, bits of mouldy egg and cheese and even strips of left over lettuce in his beard.  Mrs Twit has ugly, thick and dirty hair and a long, crooked nose.  On Wednesday nights they love to eat Bird Pie!  The Twits in fact loved Bird Pie so much they would probably eat it every day if they could.  These horrid monsters hated small children and they also did not like each other!  The ugly beasts liked to spread sticky Hug-Tight glue on the branches of their dead tree to catch birds for their pie.  I would hate to be stuck on a tree and I feel sorry for the all the birds Mr and Mrs Twit ate!  Mr Twit pongs of rotten cabbage, Mrs Twit smells of stinky dog poop.  I think if they had kids they would be as putrid and foul as Mr and Mrs Twit.  I think the Twits are horrible people and I would not like to meet them!  I’m sure you would not want to meet them either because they are…ugly, horrid, hairy, grumpy, disgusting and weird warthogs!
