The coral reef

The coral reef

The vibrant clown fish are swishing through the bright coral. The sea anemone is long like raw spaghetti in the ocean. The clown fishes eyes are dark like dark chocolate. The coral is like wobbly jelly jiggling in the glistening turquoise water. The second colour of the rainbow is orange, the same colour of the sea anemone and clown fishes. The clown fishes have white stripes like a zebra. They are small and cute looking.

The clown fishes are hunting for food sneakily, trying to find a tasty snack before a predator eats them. Clown fishes eat other fishes leftovers on the sea anemone. They eat to satisfy their tiny appetites.

The sea waves splash on the shore. The water is so clear you can see the fishes swimming and the sun is making a waterfall of light into the ocean. The sea is as beautiful as a sunset.

Teacher Comment
Well done Zoey, you were very organised and prepared.  You gave lots of examples to explain your main ideas and included a great quote and call to action in your conclusion.  Your next step is to speak a little bit louder.
