Green Sea Turtle Lifecycle

1. Firstly the green sea turtle hatches from the eggs that are buried in the sand, it takes weeks for them to dig themselves out.
2. The young ones spend their first 5 years growing up in the open ocean. They like to live around seagrass beds and coral reefs where they can find lots of food. They like to eat jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp and worms.
3. As they grow older the sea turtles live closer to shore and become herbivores, the females are able to breed and lay eggs at around 25 years old, The older ones are herbivores which means they mainly eat marine plants. 
4. Next they start mating and migrating, the males fight each other to mate with a female , the winner gets her pregnant.
5. Lastly after mating the female will drag herself up the beach she hatched from, dig a hole and lay her many eggs, after about two months of being laid the little eggs will hatch and the lifecycle will start again.

My Goals were to use commas and Apostrophes.                                                                                                                                 I used Commas in all of my sentences like in my second paragraph, I achieved my goals.

Humpback Whale Life Cycle

11 months after a male and female humpback whale mate the female humpback whale gives birth to one calf which as a mammal she cares for by feeding and protecting them. The scientific name for the humpback whale is Megaptera Novaeangliae.

For the first 6 or 7 months they stay close to their mothers so they do not get eaten by large predators such as Killer Whales, False Killer whales and large sharks. 

 While calving they tend to stay in shallow warm waters normally near shores and offshore reef systems. As the calf starts to grow it will learn to hunt other animals like small fish by watching their peers hunt. 

After about 2 years of age the humpback whales get strong and big enough to look after themselves, feed themselves and grow up to 18.3 m and 80,000 pounds. Like humans they live to around 80-90 years.

The loud sound of my alarm clock rings in my ears, it must be time to get up. 

“Georgia, are you up?” mum yells from the kitchen. 

Another day of school, another day of me sitting in class trying to work while I‘m stuck in the back with all of the annoying kids. My best friend Alyssa ( who has been my best friend since kindergarten ) normally comes to pick me up, but today she has the writing competitions at school. I drag myself out of my room to get ready for the dreaded day of school. Everyday mum makes me get my sister up, it is always  a nightmare. I knock on her door. 

“ Olivia–Rose?” I ask, just in case she isn’t awake. 

“What do you want from me now? Didn’t I tell you to STOP CALLING ME THAT!?” 

I always dread the morning, it goes so slow and everybody is always tired. Then we always get the motivation to do things at school. Mum walks into the hallway with a mysterious look on her face……
