Explanation writing - camels

Camels are very interesting animals because they can eat anything big and sharp. Did you know? Camels are able to go several months without water which is a very long time.

At night the desert is, cold, and in the morning its very hot. Camels live in an environment where it’s hot and dry. In the desert there's not that much water, thats why theres not that much trees, because there's hardly ever water to make it grow.

Camels have thick eyebrows, two shield the eyes from the sun. Camels have pads on their feet and chest, two prevent the heat from hurting their feet. They also grow two sets of eyelashes to prevent sand going into their eyes. Camels have big notrituse that can open and close, so it can prevent sand going into their nose.

Camels are found in North Africa and the Middle East.  They can last months without water. In their body they produce fat in their hump. It’s full of fat which helps them have energy when they cant find any food. This helps them keep cool in the day and warm in the night.

Camels have adapted and changed over the time to survive in the hot desert. Camels have adapted to these conditions without any struggling, this is they way the live. They can survive many months and weeks without water or food.

In writing we have been writing a explanation about how camels adapt to the environment. We also looked at how camels change while living in the desert and hot places. We watched 3 videos about camels and also took notes in our books to help us write our explanation.

Formal and Informal Wirtinf

Formal -

It is my opinion that this litter is a health hazard. For example, yesterday a year 4 boy fell over and cut his hand on a broken bottle. The boy in question needed four stitches

Informal -

are you?. I’ve been dead busy since your last letter. We have to work really hard at school to get ready for our PAT tests.
