In writing we have been working on information texts. The focus has been writing correctly structured paragraphs. We worked in groups to organise information into subheadings and have independently written paragraphs. We have also worked on putting information into our own words.

Predators and Dangers
Little Penguins have both natural predators and introduced predators. Some natural predators are Sea Eagles, Fur Seals and snakes. Some introduced predators are foxes, dogs and cats. Humans can also be a danger to Little Penguins by walking through their habitats and scaring them away from reaching their young. Other threats to Little Penguins are global problems that humans created like pollution, diseases, climate change and even habitat loss. We all need to be mindful of our impact on Little Penguin's lives.

Diet
Fairy penguins live and are associated with water, their diet is 76 percent fish, 24 percent squid, 1 percent squid. Fairy penguins consume their body weight in food every day. The major food item fairy penguins eat is a small school of fish. Fairy penguins hunt for their food only on the surface waters as they are not deep divers. They catch their food with their tip of the beak and firmly grasp their prey. When it comes to feeding chicks, the female and male fairy penguins take turns to provide for their young. They scoop the fish into their mouths and feed it to the chicks when they return to land.

Creatures of the deep
Below sea level live hundreds of unknown creatures in a place we know as the deep dark depths of the ocean.  A hundred years ago scientists dragged big heavy nets across the sea floor and found worms and crabs and strange looking fish.  These fish weren’t normal.  Scientists found that they live in extreme temperatures 900 metres under the sea and their organs glow to attract littler fish which they can then eat.
