Complex Sentence Paragraph

“Look! Look down there!” His voice could just about be heard above the sound
of the aeroplane’s engine and the shrieking wind in their ears.
“Can you see it?”  On top of the wing the two boys looked down struggling to
see because of the wind. Mike looked and could just manage to see a big frigate
bird below them . The boys craned their necks to see the bird. A heap of melon
sharks jumping around in the water below and chasing the fish in the sea below
the frigate bird..  By this time a bunch of security guards were walking over the
top of the plane when suddenly a big gust of wind from the engines swooshed
through the air and hit the boys on the back. The boys struggled to stay on the
wing of the plane. Both boys held onto the ailerons and held on for dear life.
Soon the Men got closer and hauled the boys up onto the wing. Mike and the
other boy were taken in side the plane and told off for stowing away on the wing of the plane.


In Room 1 we have been learning about prepositions and clauses.
In this piece of writing the yellow words are the prepositions.
Here is some writing we had to do about looking down.

The Ruru Information Report



                                                            


                                                                What it is.
The Ruru is the NZ native owl. Like most owls, the Ruru can fly silently past because of their
flight feathers.


Description.
 Moreporks are plump fluffy birds with white spots all over their brown body. Moreporks are speckled
brown with orange/yellow eyes set in a dark face.
They have a short stubby tail. The female Moreporks are taller than the males.


Social behavior and habitats.
Moreporks are good at hearing and are very sensitive to light.
The Morepork is found in open habitats in the South and North Islands.
The rising 'quee' call is often mistaken for a kiwi’s shrill call. Moreporks are widely distributed
throughout the native forests of New Zealand.


More about the Ruru.
Moreporks are nocturnal, hunting at night for their food. Moreporks eat beetles, moths, weta, and
spiders.
Moreporks fly silently as they have soft fringes on the edge of their wing feathers. They catch prey
using their large sharp claws or their beak.
By day they roost in trees or in thick vines. If they are visible during the day they can get mobbed
by other birds and are forced to move.
