My koala report

 A couple of weeks ago I wrote an animal report because we were learning how to record our information we had researcherd in an easy way other people could understand well. When it came time to pick an animal I picked koalas because of their cute fluffy fur and adorable feature like cute little. I loved writing this report and I feel like it is going to be my favourite piece of writing for the and I hope you will enjoy it as well.

Koala

A koala is a fluffy clawed creature who loves eucalyptus and taking naps. A Koala only prefers 30 kinds of eucalyptus out of the 650, that's a lot of eucalyptus. The word Koala in the aboriginal language means no drink and like kangaroos their babies are called joeys. Their scientific name is phascolarctos cinereus. Koalas have predators like dingoes and owls and they are herbivore’s which means they eat only plants and they can live up to 20 years in the wild.

A Koala has two thumbs on its front claws and an extremely supportive bit which helps them to make a comfortable home in the trees. Their grey fur helps them in the trees so the predators have trouble finding them. They are not bears even though the phrase is a koala bear, they are actually marsupials and are closer to wombats then bears and their fingerprints are almost identical to a humans fingerprints.

Most Koalas are now only found in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. At the top of eucalyptus trees. In New South Wales koalas are slowly becoming extinct because of deforestation. 

Koalas  can sleep up to 22 hours a day which means that it spends 90 percent sleeping and 10 percent eating. Baby koalas are to cute, a baby koala spends six months in their mom's pouch and then spend six months riding on their mother's back only using the pouch for eating and sleeping  and a koala's pouch goes down instead of up so that baby can reach the milk. A Koala can eat upto a kilogram of eucalyptus which is surprising because eucalyptus is poisonous for most animals.These cuddly cute creatures don’t deserve to be extinct so before we must help    them so they can live in peace once again.

My global change speech castify

 

Today I  was  taking my video of me saying my speech I found it difficult to keep looking in the camera while still knowing what to say without having to many gaps when I spoke I kept on looking down.

Will global change put an end to our world ?

 I did my speech and I was learning to write a persuasive text  that would really hook my reader in and make them believe what I believe. I feel like I did a pretty good job put I probably should have been a bit more persuasive to really force them. I would say that my next steps are to probably address the audience more because I didn't really pull them in as much as I wanted to but I want you read my speech to see what you think . 

 Will global change put an end to our world ? I strongly believe that global change could destroy our world because of all the damage it’s already done. Today I will talking about the artic summer ice melting and the water levels rising higher, I will also be talking about weather changes for new zealand and about creature habitat loss.

Firstly, I want to talk about the ice melting and the water levels rising. I feel like we should all be worried  about the global change because melts quite a large chunk of ice every year. Due to the ice melting the water levels rise 0.13 inches a year. This can cause erosion which is what happens when big waves break against the side of a hill it takes away chunks of the hill which will cause the hill to crumble down, the same would happen to a sandduin if broke away that could cause houses to collapse which will cause people to lose their homes and I think like a lot of people out there that we can make a difference, we may not be able to stop the artic from melting but we can definitely make a difference for the environment.

Secondly, I want talk about the likely climate change impacts by 2090, there’lle be a larger chance of summer rainfall in the north and east parts of the north island and a larger chance of winter rainfall in the south island. The higher winter temperatures for 2090 are expected to cause more people to catch illnesses like a cold or the flu. By 2090  a lot more droughts are expected, a drought is when there is a low level of rainfall which can lead to a shortage of water which in 2010 was happening a lot.

Lastly I would like to talk about  the fact that global change is effecting our creatures. Many animals are suffering from habitat loss including tiger and polar bears. polar bears are suffering as the artic ice melts at quite a calm rate but as the ice melts it becomes harder for the female polar bear to get back to the main land in autumn for nesting.

In conclusion,  I have talked about some of the key things global change does to our environment including the rising water levels, drought and animal habitat loss. I still strongly believe that global change could end our world and I strongly encourage you  to go out there and make a difference for the environment.
