Information Report - Little Penguin

Little Penguin

By: Daniel Kim

I am learning to inform my audience through an information report

Just imagine that you are at the beach at night. It is dark, everything is quiet, you can hear the waves overlapping the sand. Suddenly, you see something small, yes you’re right it is the Little penguin. Did you know the scientific name for Little penguin is Eudyptula. Eudyptula is Greek and it means good little diver. You might be thinking that the Little penguin is the same as the other penguins just small and blue. So You might be right and you might be wrong.

Habitat/Home

Little penguins are found in the southern coast of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. All of the Little penguins are here because they can not stay or live in cold places. During day time they spend their time hunting for food and at night they return to their burrow or rock crevice. When they get back home they feed their family and also cuddle up if they are cold.

Diet

This is what some animals do as well. Little penguins eat fishes, squids, and crustaceans. They mainly make shallow dives up to 9m(30ft) to catch prey but sometimes they will dive down to the ground to get more fish. They also get food for their family so their family won’t be hungry and live well.    

Breeding

Breeding is the part when they lay eggs. First when the egg comes out the mum and  dad take turns on keeping the egg warm so it doesn't get cold.. After about five weeks later the egg will hatch. Little penguins do this around August or September.

Overall in Conclusion Little penguins are small and fearless little creatures, so they should be free like us and have a long life..They also should be able to have a long life and should not be killed or extinct.

Creative Writing - The Mysterious Lantern

The Mysterious Lantern

by Daniel k

One night, there was a man on a deck above a deep blue ocean. The name of the man on the deck was John and he was holding a mysterious lantern. On the lantern it said, warning, when you wave the lantern three times something comes to you!. So he read what it said and felt a bit uncomfortable, so he went home.

The next day, he went to the place where he was last night, but this time something was wrong. So he waved the lantern three times and then a paper plane came flying to him. So he unfolded the paper plane and on the paper plane It had blood. Then he waved the lantern three times and then a ball came flying to him, but it had nothing on it so he went home and had a rest.

But the third time he went there, there was something that was really different. There was scratches on the grass and there was footprints on the grass as well. So he followed were the trail footprints, but the footprints lead him to his friends house.When he went in his friend's house his friend wasn’t there then he said “hello?, anybody there,” so he wave the lantern three times and he woke up in his bed and his lantern was on the table and it was 7:30 am.   

Was it just a dream?Or was it really him doing it?
