			Conclusion

Blue Whale The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. The scientific name for the blue whale is the Balaenoptera musculus. Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale.

Diet To eat, blue whales filter their food through stiff, bony, comb-like teeth called baleen plates. Their main diet is krill (small creatures that are less than 2 cm in size). A blue whale can eat up to 3,600 kilograms of krill a day during its peak consumption period. Blue whales catch their food by diving down to about 500 meters below the surface.

Habitat Blue whales are found in open oceans from the icy waters of the extreme Southern Hemisphere to the Aleutian Islands off Alaska at the northern boundary of the Pacific Ocean. Summers are spent in polar waters because food production is higher there.

Appearance Blue whales are simply enormous. Their heart is the size of a small car. A blue whale aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. They can weigh over 200,000 kilograms! Female blue whales are generally larger than males. Blue whales are light bluish gray on their dorsal side and mottled gray whitish on their bellies. Some have yellowish bellies.

Endangered species The worldwide blue whale population is not known, however, blue whales are considered endangered according to the U.S. Endangered Species Act. For many years blue whales were hunted extensively for their large quantities of baleen, blubber, and meat. Although blue whales are protected, their populations show few signs of recovery.

Blue whales are large mammals that spends their time in the icy oceans.  They only eat krill and are not a threat to any other creature in the ocean.  Blue whales face the risk of extinction if humans continue to hunt them for their baleen, blubber and meat.

This week for writing, our writing group were learning about information reports. We had to read the given information report and highlight the right things, with the right color. We worked independently.

Sub: paragraph and word wall

Paragraph with the sub prefixes

The subjects were on a submission to stop the submarine from hitting the big blue whale. The subjects were really hungry so they decided that they would go on a ride on the subway to go to ‘Mcdonalds’ and have a triple cheese burger. Mcdonald's was right next to a subfluvial .This mission was not very subnormal for anyone, when they had their Mcdonalds they submerged through the water from the toilet to finally find them standing in front of the submarine which was going to hit the whale at any second. The submarine driver was subordinated, the driver was fast asleep so the subjects had to think very fast.


These are our SpaG tasks, (spelling, punctuation and grammar) we had to find words that included the chunksub then create a paragraph with some of the words with the prefix sub. Sub means, under or below.
