Information report writing.

Our inquiry topic this term has been all about the human body. Students in Room 9 have been learning about how to write information reports about the topic. Below is an example by Melepalu about how the digestive system works.

We are learning about the digestive system.

The digestive system starts in the mouth. The mouth helps breaks down the food we eat and turns it to smaller pieces, easier to swallow .Then it travels to the esophagus. The esophagus helps us swallow the food we eat and it makes it easier for us to swallow by having strong muscles that push the food down into the stomach.

The third stage is the stomach. The stomach stores the food we eat and mixes with the acid juices but then the food breaks down into even smaller pieces and sent to the small intestine.

The forth station is the small intestine. It absorbs the food from the stomach even more, and absorbs nutrients and minerals into the bloodstream. It then gets pulled into the large intestine. The large intestine comes fifth and pulls the water and the salt from the leftover food.

Finally the last part of the digestive system is the rectum. The rectum helps us go to the toilet and let's the waste go.
