Week 6 gave us a good insight into the subject of Length. We discussed how and why length is important not only in mathematics but it also gives us skills for life. Not only did we measure with tools but we discussed who in our community would use length in their daily lives or in the workforce.

Year 6 have been writing sizzling starts to our informative texts to hook the reader into reading our writing.Last week we changed this short text into a sizzling start. 

Seahorses live in the ocean. They are fish but some people think that seahorses look a bit like ‘land’ horses. A group of seahorses are called a herd.

This is an example of one of our sizzling starts. Which one hooks you into reading it?

The Horses of the Sea.

Whoosh! The violent currents threaten to drag and destroy anything in its way. Most of the marine animals withstand the forces, hiding in protective burrows or using their slippery fins to swim against the currents. Out of all animals, one is struggling the most … the seahorse! It fiercely clutches onto seaweed, hoping not to be dragged away.
