The Killer Whale

The Killer Whale are cetaceans which belong to the order Delphinidae. This means that they are “Dolphins” regardless the word “whale” is in its name.

A killer whale has black above, with a sharply contrasting white oval patch around each eye; its belly is white with white markings projecting up along the animal's sides. It has a high, triangular dorsal fin midway between head and tail, and broad, paddle-shaped flippers.

The Killer Whale lives in the open seas,In the Antarctic ocean or the Australian zoo and in most seas.

Killer Whales eat fish, squid, seals, sea lions, walruses, birds, sea turtles, otters, penguins, polar bears, reptiles, sharks, octopus.They even eat other smaller whales.

 

The Killer Whales behaviour is they eat other small whales,For the most part, killer whales in the wild are visible only when they are at the surface, so it is inherently challenging to document and study whale behaviour.  

Did you know that a killer whale is a marine mammal.Killer whale eats 500 foods each day,Killer Whales weigh 6000 pounds.  

Another name for killer whale is Orca and Killer whales are one of the most well-recognized sea mammals and are easily spotted by their strong black and white coloring.

The thing I like about my animal is that it is from the dolphin family and I love dolphins.Also I like this animal because it is just really a interesting animal.

My Descriptive Writing

HappyEaster

One Easter morning the sun was shining brightly over the clouds and the breeze was flowing and drifting peacefully in the nice blue sky.

Everybody was rushing downstairs to eat breakfast when they can smell hot cross buns and freshly homemade pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup that their next door just made from the maple tree near by.

After everyone finished breakfast everybody just rushed out the door and went out the backyard where all the Easter eggs were hidden ,they were going to play a game of Easter hunting.

It was very hard for the little ones but the older ones shared with the little ones and some of the little ones found some themselves.

After everyone had found all the Easter eggs in the backyard.

Then it was starting to get dark so everybody got inside washed themselves and went to bed but before they went to bed they were told what Easter really is about while they were eating Easter eggs.

Easter is all about how Jesus died for our sins because if he didn’t die for us we wouldn’t even be born and did you also know that Jesus’s hands was nailed on on a cross.

Then after three whole days Jesus lived again and came back alive and Mary who was Jesus’s mother was so cheerful to see her son again.The End

So the children learned that Easter isn’t about all the chocolate its was about Jesus and why he died for our sins.

So they had the most fun Easter they’d ever had in there whole entire life and never forgot the story of Easter and told it to their children when they were grown up.Also their children passed on the story to their own children and it went on and on and on until they all died it was just like the movie The Travelling Pants.
