Mould

W.A.L.T... Identify the structure of an explanation text and explore the language features of an explanation text. I enjoy doing this because I get to learn more about mould and I like to write about conclusion. Maybe next time I could make it more interesting. 

My Planning

How mould is formed?

Have you ever been into your bathroom and seen this black greeny stain on the walls and you’ve been  concerned about what it is? Well it’s called  mould and this is my explanation about how mould is formed?

If you are concerned, carry on reading and you will find out.

Mold begins from something called spores.

Spores feed on dead animal or any type of plant, and they love to grow in warm and wet places. Spores are just like seeds they make things grow

Also spores are really small like babies, but the thing is that they don’t need a mum or a dad to be formed.

Then hyphae, hyphae grows at their tips. During tip growth hyphal growth is the feature of a threadlike fungi. From mushrooms to shape, we experience organisms in a wide reach of parts of our lives. Every one of them are made out of modest, full strands called hyphae.

Finally mycelium, mycelium is the plant part of a fungus  made out of a group of branching, it’s like threadlike hyphae. In most fungi, hyphae are the main mode of plant growth, and are basically called a mycelium.

Therefore, mould is always near you there in your bathroom and sometimes there in you room so pretty much mould is everywhere in your house.

Holidays

W.A.L.T. Use the correct structure for a recount.

I really enjoyed writing about my holidays. Maybe next time I could come up with descriptive words.

HOLIDAYS

On the first day of day of the school holidays me, my cousin and my sister went to my dad's house. My dad didn’t know that we were going to his house, we wanted to surprise him. On our way my older sister said for us to buy some food for our dad to eat, so we brought KFC. When we got there we surprised him and he was happy to see me.

The next day, my dad called in sick, he wasn’t really sick he just wanted to spend some quality time with us. We went to heaps of places and to me this was the BEST day ever. First we went to Timezone then we went to do some food shopping (and we brought some snacks). Next we went to Mcdonald's and bought some  frozen cokes because my dad told us we were going to go to the big park in town with our little cousins. It was fun playing at the big park especially with my whole family.

Seeing my dad after all these years was a big relief of pain. I was happy but sad at the same time, happy that I finally saw my dad and sad because I have to come back home to my mum and leave him all by himself.I am really happy that I am still in contact with my dad.

Novel Study

Our 'Novel Study' task was to write how our main character has changed in the story. Next time I could work on giving more information.

Sally J Freedman as Herself

By Judy Blume

How Sally changed was when she first thought about going Florida for the winter season she was scared and sad to leave her dad and friends at home in Miami and come to Florida and go school there for the season.

But as time flies she is trying her best to forget about the sad part and have fun spending time with her brother before his time is done on earth.

Novel Study

Our novel task was to write the conflict of the novel we are reading. Hope you enjoy reading it. 

  

  Starring Sally.J Freedman as herself 

The first conflict is when Sally J. Freedman moves from New Jersey to Miami, Florida with her brother and their mother and grandmother at the end of World War II. This is because of her brother Douglas's health, for he had caught nephritis from staying in wet clothes in the cold. They've moved from New Jersey to Miami for winter.

 Then the second conflict is when Sally was happy to go to Florida, but at the same time she was sad to leave her friends and her dad for the whole winter season. But Sally had to leave because of her brothers health. Luckily her dad is coming for thanksgiving but has to go back home.
