Sydney report writing

This week Miss Power was helping us

with our report writing. She gave us a

choice of either Sharks or Sydney. I

chose Sydney and here is my paragraph.

Tourist attractions - There are many

exciting and interesting places in Sydney.

There is the Opera House which took 14

years to build and cost 16 lives. Another

interesting place to visit is the harbour

bridge. That opened in 1932 and is known

as the largest steel arch bridge in the world. 

Bondi Beach is very famous and is one of

the most famous in Australia. It is famous

for being in the Guinness world record

book.

The Fennec Fox

Farm animals

This week we did anther information report.

This time I did it on 3 farm animals.

Farm animals

Many people around the world have farms.

On these farms they can have a lot of

different animals and crops.  There are many

animals I could inform you about but today I

have chosen to inform you about pigs, cows

and sheep.

Pigs - Pigs are one of the most intelligent

animals. Their main sense that they use is

smell. The snout is an important tool for finding

food and sensing the world around them. Pigs are

like humans when it comes to eating. They are

something called omnivores which means they eat

plants and other animals.

Cows - MOO! That may be the only sound you

think cows make, as I have recently learnt they

also make other sounds. Calves which are young

cows make this noise which is called bawling and

bulls which are boy cows bellow.

Sheep - Sheep are interesting animals which have

been brought up for their wool and for keeping
grass short. You may have heard some people instead
of saying sheep say something like yous. This is
actually spelt ewes and is a female sheep.

Hopefully you are now more informed about these 3

farm animals. Do you have any interesting facts about

any animal that you could tell me about?
