This is my slide show showing why sea animals are dying and a way of solving it.

Maths

 WALT: share our work.

This is the screen castify I made showing how i worked out my maths question.

Oil spills

  W.A.L.T Write an Explanation
Oil spills are a massive problem mostly because sea animals are dying. That is sad but that is not the only thing bad about oil spills also because the environment is dying. Did you know in 2018 about 137 oil spills happened.  

 

Did you know that in 1983 a Spanish tanker called Castillo de Bellver caught fire off Cape Town in 1983 and spilled over 78 million gallons of oil into the sea.

Also In 1979, there was a collision between two different tankers near the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The combined total oil spilled in the ocean surpassed 83 million gallons. To make matters worse, while one of the ships was being towed to shore, it spilled another 41 million gallons into the sea.

 Anyway I think that's enough facts. Let's get into the solution. If you tighten your bolts on the engine of your boat it's more unlikely a oil spill will happen.

Billionaire Boy Book Review

 Billionaire boy is a book by David Walliams, if you don't know David Walliams is a famous author. He has written a lot of books like Gangsta Granny, Ratburger and  A Boy in a Dress! There are many amazing books, you can read David Walliams books at your nearest library to you. Billionaire boy is a popular book made by David Walliams but how many books are there? I can tell you that they have about thirty-two million copies in total! 

Joe Spud is the main character and  a great kid. He was rich and didn't want to go to his posh school, so he decided to go to a normal school. He kept his money a secret...

I  would say Joe is a nice, caring, and grateful billionaire. Bob is Joe´s first friend at his new school. He is a nice person, but not very grateful for what he is given. He eats a lot of chocolate and he loses in cross country a lot.  

I think this book is a great book because it's got lots of thrilling adventure and drama. I would rate this book 4.5 stars out of 5! This is a book in my opinion for ages  5+.  

In conclusion, I really think you should read it. Find it at your nearest library.
