Composting

This week for writing we were learning how to structure our writing into paragraphs. We wrote about composting. If you want to know what composting is, you can read my writing.  I enjoyed learning about composting because it was new learning for me. I found it tricky to write because I kept getting distracted. So I tried to not get distracted and here it is: 

Composting

What do you want to do to save the planet? Well, Composting is a great way to start.

What is it?

Composting is when you get together yard and kitchen rubbish and put them together with water and bugs like worms and fungi like mushrooms and they make it into soil that has nutrients.

How is it made?

It is made from Apple cores, dead leaves, Bread crusts, grass clippings, rotten fruit, dead flowers. So on. There are two types of compost rubbish. Green and Brown. Green is like fruit, veg and others from the kitchen. Brown is greenery like grass, flowers and leaves. You have to do it in a specific way to make it, like a chef. You stack the brown and green in layers and top it off with water, fungi and bugs. 

The benefits of composting

When you recycle you are saving the earth, growing more plants to eat and recycling rubbish!

Wow Facts!

You can compost with cockroaches, it has been used for cooking usually after being well wrapped in foil, and best of all, Cleopatra was so impressed with worms' composting ability, she made them sacred!

Report Writing

This week we were given a cut up level three Lion report that we needed to make paragraphs that made sense. First we had to pick buddies and I chose Mya. Then we got the cut up pieces and we had to put them together. After we put them in order, we needed to grab a paper clip and clip them together. I got a blue one. The next day we glued the sentences to yellow paper and drew the success criteria on where the title goes. Last we saw that two other people were done so we clipped them together on a wire. My glue stick almost has no more glue from the glueing!
I learnt that a report needs to have a title, a classification, a description, where what your reporting  lives and a dynamic fact (Fun Fact).
I enjoyed drawing the success criteria.
I found it tricky to glue the sentences.
Next time I will change the coloured cards colour to blue.
My digital learning object shows that I can download the picture Mya took.
Here it is:
