Rileys reading goal

WALT:Identify the features in a narrative.
My goal was spelling. I have reached my goal by going over my work and correcting my spelling.
My next step is to organize my work in my book.

Multiplication fact families

                Multiplication fact families

WALT:Knowing the combinations of numbers you instantly know 4 facts.

3x9=27 ⇨ 27÷9=3

9x3=27 ⇨ 27÷3=9  This way is easy for me to learn my multiplication and division because all you have to do is think what something times 9 = 27. Then for the rest of then you take the numbers and fill in where there isn't one of the same number.

I have created a New Zealand Marine habitat and included 3 creatures that live there, one endemic, one native and one introduced.

The top half of the Marine waters are full of crests of waves and dead sea weed that surrounds the Marine waters. As you go deeper into the Marine the water gets darker. In the middle of the Marine there's a light blue mixed with purple water. There's normally dead sea weed floating to the top of the marine. At the bottom of the Marine there is a very dark blue water. The plant life that's at the bottom are growing seaweed, coral, plantain, rocks, shells and mould.

The endemic creature I have included is the Pacific Octopus. Its large, orange and has 8 arms. The Octopus is part of the phylum family. An Octopus is invertebrate which means it has no backbone. They eat crab mostly. An Octopus is a very rare creature to find in New Zealand.

The Hector's Dolphin is a large dolphin with a black face and a big white belly. They weigh between 40 and 60 kg. and can be as long as 1.5 metres long. They eat any kind of fish they can find. A Hector's Dolphin belongs to the Oceanic dolphin family.

The Introduced creature I have chosen is the Sea Turtle. A Sea Turtle has millions of little scales covering their whole body with little bead eyes. They have a hard shell back that's a dark green color. They live in Pacific ocean waters. Sea turtles belong to the Cheloniidae family. Sea Turtles eat sea weed that comes from the bottom of the sea. Sea Turtles mainly live till they’re 80 years old.

These are all of the marine creatures that you can see on my painting, what they look like and what they do. Thank you for reading.
