Shortfin & long fin eels

I am learning how to write and find facts about short fin and long fin eels, I have learnt alot. My school has been doing tuna and takakau, it's basically  takakau competition on who can make the best takakau. Tuna is a tuna weigh in competition however we were only allowed to bring short fin eels in to weigh and we did the girth of the tuna. But it is mainly around coming together as a school and also it's a early matariki celebration. The hard part about finding facts was finding information sites because they all had the same information. The easy part was working with others to get the work finished because they are very helpful and they are sensible about there work. The thing I will do next time is find more information to go into my groups work but I think our group work is pretty good I mean it's not the best. 
Heres a look at my group work.

The switcheroo/Narrative

I am learning how to write a narrative piece of writing, I have an understanding of what narrative is. It is a story that is suppose to sound real but it is just a fake story it's not real just like unicorns. The paragraphs for narrative writing goes orientation first, problem arises, problem escalates and resolution. Also we had to use more than 2 pieces of punctuation. But the thing is I only wrote my orientation because I wasn't at school last week when my class wrote the other parts, I was sick. The hard part was  knowing what to write because it's like nothing I had done before and because I had never done narrative writing before. The easy part was making my plan, I enjoyed making my plan because it made my writing sound like it was going to be amazing and it was. The thing I will do next time is make sure I write out what was on my plan probably because I changed my writing. My writing was about me and my dog switching bodies, I call it the switcheroo
Here is a piece of my writing.


In a tiny town known as Cliffwood lived a little boy named Cliff who lived with his mum Linda and his small kind dog Rico. Cliff attended Cliffwood primary it wasn't a big school but he had lots of friends. One day Cliff had gotten ready for school it was a normal morning as usual, he opened the door and the wind was pounding onto his entire body. He then left his house "Have a good Day Mum said" "You too mum” Cliff shouted. He then opened the silver gate not knowing the dog was outside playing with his unbreakable ball. Cliff then left to go to school accidentally leaving the gate open. Then on the tip of the dogs eye he saw the gate open and he boosted out the front yard , not knowing what would happen next.
