WALT: identify area of need from writing sample feedback and make a conscious effort to improve that area.

SC: Co-constructed

My focus is vocabulary.



The cold icy water splashed my face as I jumped into the pool. I popped up as the warm afternoon breeze hit my face, and next to me Keelin and Zoe came out of the water breaching like whales. “ Sup” I told them they looked at me like a was a creature of the deep. Thats when I noticed Zoe was wearing her hat it was my turn to look at her like she was a creature of the deep. “ Why do you have your hat on” her answer was “ I burn easily” Then someone pushed her from behind she fell over her hat got soaking wet. “ Noooooooo” she exclaimed dramatically. Thats when the war started. Not actually, the boys
( Zane, Matthew, Derek and Davin )  started trying to steal Zoe’s hat and the girls ( Zoe, Keelin and I ) were trying to get it back we got it back and then they tried again and again and again but we got it back every time and that ended in a splash war which the girls won that as well. So all in all GIRLS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This interesting creature is actually a sea dragon not a sea horse.

            Weedy Sea Dragons grow to a mature length of about 18 inches (45 cm). They use camouflage as their primary defense, and are found along the southern reefs and sandy underwater areas of Australia. Though relatively common compared to Leafy Sea Dragons, Weedy Sea Dragons are also government protected, and subject to strict export controls.

Though they are similar in appearance to sea horses, Weedy Sea Dragons do not have the (gripping) tails, but rather appear to use them for steering.
Scientific name: Phyllopteryx taeniolatus
