Title:how sea turtle grow into adults

Word list: sea turtle eggs growing up adults

How sea turtles grow into adults Adults live to approximately 80 years they were here when the dinosaur era sea turtle could live for 200 years but when humans started to come now the lifespan of the seaturtle is now 80 years old The life cycle starts when the mother sea turtle goes to a beach and lays her eggs, she lays up to 50 -200 eggs. When she’s finished she covers the eggs with sand and swims back to the sea it will take 6 weeks till the eggs hatch.When 6 weeks  is up all her eggs will hatch but 20 percent of her eggs will not hatch because they have already been eaten by other animal or died from their birth. When they hatch the size of the baby sea turtle is the size of your palm. When the sea turtles crawl out of the hole they crawl along the beach.  They will face threats  such as being eaten by crabs birds or get trapped by rubbish. Only 50 percent of the sea turtles make it to the sea. When a sea turtle gets to the sea they will find themselves even more threats. They could be eaten or die from other animals or pollution. But the baby sea turtles  hide away from the predators so they will be safe from other animals like ,whales,sharks,,dolphins and sea bird when the sea turtle breaths for air they could get the above the sea waiting till they come. Pollution can also kill baby sea turtles. 50 percent of babies that made to the sea die in the ocean. When a female sea turtle is 20 years old it’s time to start breeding again she will find a beach and she will get to the beach and find a safe place to lay her eggs. The sea turtle life cycle starts again. Written By Joseph.

My Writing Test

The day things started disappearing

Where’s my phone shouted Richard. My phone was here a minute ago and now it’s gone.Charles! “where’s my phone?” “I don’t know” If it’s not you it might be Senituli who has it Senituli! “where is my phone? “i don't know” if it wasn't you it must be Joseph who was it.Joseph “where is my phone?” i don't know” Replied Joseph wait tell Charles and Senituli to come here. Afterward we went to Richard’s room.

Now where was the last time you saw your phone asked Joseph “it was in my room lying on my bed after that I went to have a shower and when I come back my phone gone missing I assumed it was Charles, Senituli or you but your answers were the same I don’t know. Charles suggested to look around the house but Senituli said “how can the phone be somewhere around the house after all he said it was in his bedroom.

So they all decided to look around his bedroom we looked and looked for hours and still no phone “Hey Richard Asked Senituli” “did you asked anybody else besides us” “umm I didn't ask Mei I was too afraid to ask him because he was angry at someone” so we went together and asked him I asked if he had his phone and he replied yes I was angry at somebody and I went pass your room and saw your phone so I took your phone and went inside my room and was playing games on it to calm me down.

So Mei gave His phone back to Richard “sorry for taking your phone” murmured Mei“it’s alright replied Richard So richard got his phone back Mei is calm and is not angry anymore and me, Senituli and Charles solved the mystery

Mini Inquiry

will africa be rich

What will Africa look like in 2050? If we look at the positive trends we see taking root today just imagine what can be achieved a few decades from now?
In this monograph the Institute for Security Studies and the Pardee Center for International Futures provide an extensive analysis of the projected course of African development to 2050. Combining the deep and wide knowledge of Africa within the ISS with extensive use of the IFs modelling system, this discussion goes beyond past work in a number of ways. It looks across most major issue arenas: demographics, economics, sociopolitical change, the environment and human development itself, including health and education. It explores further into our future than perhaps any other extensive study of African futures has ever done. While not pushing forward specific policy initiatives, it provides a context within which those who pursue sustainable human development can consider policies.
