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.

Cobras are a kind of snake.  It has strange markings on its back that kind of look like eyes.  They’re usually found hidden in Asia and Southeast Africa.  They are very venomous.  They grow up to four meters long.  The cobra spits venom out of its fangs.  The poison can hit prey two meters away.  Cobras eat birds, lizards, toads and other snakes.  Baby Cobras hatch after 60 days.  Snakes don’t live in New Zealand.

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.
