Today for reading I made a D.L.O about sharks including facts and a picture. I personally think that sharks are more harmed by humans than humans are by sharks. Look at the D.L.O below to find out all the facts I included in the D.L.O.
I am a Year 6 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. My teacher is Miss McLeod. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Sea Turtles To Inform - Writing
For the past week in writing we have been writing to inform texts. In these we have to inform stuff about the topic and for me it was sea turtles. Mine included appearance, habitat, diet/food & protection. If you want to know about sea turtles read this text!!
Save The Sea Turtles
Introduction
Do you like sea turtles? Because they don't like us, this is because people hunt them and we need to stop it!
Appearance
Sea turtles have a tough shell that is mostly the reason they are hunted. Sea turtles have four flippers, wings whatever you want to call them poking out of their shell. The head of the sea turtle pokes right out the front and has a beakish like mouth. People hunt sea turtles for their shells and even eggs.
Habitat
Sea turtles live in almost every ocean basin throughout the world. They often live among coral reefs and seaweed. Sea turtles live among fish and other creatures. Unfortunately their habitats are being destroyed by humans. Sea turtles are often disappearing from their habitats thanks to hunters so stop killing the turtles.
Food/diet
Sea turtles eat many things like seagrass. Another thing on their diet is algae which is a food source that most sea creatures eat. Sponges are another thing they eat. Unfortunately sometimes plastic bags are mistaken for sponges by sea turtles and sadly when they eat one it cuts their life expediencies in half.
Protection
Sea turtles' shells are their best protection from other dangerous sea creatures. This is mostly because the shell is hard to break and what kind of sea carnivore would want to break through a shell just to eat? The shell may be a good thing for protection when it's sea creatures they are getting attacked by but not when it's humans. Humans hunt them for their shells so it's actually the opposite of protecting them.
Conclusion
Turtles are a water testudine with a tough shell that protects them. Sadly they still need rescuing from us, as people hunt and kill sea turtles so save the turtles!!

Lemon sugar scrub soap (edible) - Reading
Yesterday for reading we made lemon sugar scrub which was from a recipe from a book. When we made it we got into three groups, two groups of four and one group of three. I was with: Tyler, Cole & Lennox. We first zested the lemons (optional) then Cole squeezed the lemon juice into a bowl well me and Lennox measured the sugar while Tyler zested the other lemons. Then Lennox and me poured the vegetable oil into the bowl with the sugar. Then finally we put the lemon juice into the bowl and took turns mixing it together.
Here's a picture!:
