Explanation writing

The past couple of weeks room 2 has been working on Explanation writing. To write an Explanation you need to have a introduction and you also have to describe your topic. Then you explain something about your topic. The conclusion has to summarise the explaining of your story for an example here is my explanation  "Germs"

Our bodies are pretty awesome right? Day, after day, after day, they work really hard to fight these little invaders called germs.Germs are actually tiny micro-organisms (living things). There are two main types of germs and they are bacteria and viruses. When people are affected by bacteria and viruses, they often have coughing, sneezing, fever, inflammation, vomiting, diarrhoea and cramping depending on what the illness is. If not treated it can get worser and worser and lead to bigger problems.Now if I was to look for these germs I would need a microscope to see them. They are that small ( that's really small).
How do bacteria and viruses make us sick? Well they can get into our bodies through our ears, mouth, nose and of course, our skin. We can pick up germs from many different surfaces and even air and these surfaces could be: a bath mat, a remote control, beds and pillows. Maybe even a bag? A bottom of a shoe, headphone=, a drinking fountain. A phone? One of the most common places is a door handle and also a bar of soap. If you take a careful look at a screen of any device you will a least see a few germs sitting there on the screen.How do we get rid of bacteria and viruses? Well bacteria can be treated by antibiotics from you local doctor.To get rid of viruses from your body you need to drink plenty of water, have plenty of rest and (if need) take a pain killer.

So think how often have you washed your hands today?

Oceania and Australian lifestyle (information report)

Scattered across the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean are thousands of islands whose musical traditions are closely bound up with the sea.


The people that live in the region, known as Oceania, once travelled from island to island by canoe. They took drums, flutes and pipes with them and settled on the island of Papua New Guinea and Hawaii.


Thought to be one of the oldest cultures in the world, the Aborigines first came to Australia 50,000 years ago. Like the people of Oceania, a big deal of there music relies on their voice and their sounds of their clapping and stamping.


Many of their songs tell how earth and life were created. Most of their musical instruments haven’t changed much in tens of thousands of years.


Music, singing and dancing has always been included to the Australian aborigines way of life. Hawaiian singers at a blessed festival beat on the drums made from gourds, large dried and hollowed out fruit or vegetable husks. Their songs are direct to the gods and maybe attend by a dance called the hula. Their music still includes chants to help them navigate.

The Pacific Ocean covers about a third of the world's surface. Oceania stretches from Hawaii to New Zealand and Australia lies in the west. Oceania is such a tradition place, with so many different talents.
