Explanation writing

Since term 1, Te Ngahere have been working on our explanation
writing about healthy ecosystems. Our learning intention was
was to use the correct structure for a explanation. We had to
write about a marine healthy ecosystem. We had to list what
an healthy ecosystem needed and what it already had for
example, a healthy ecosystem needs a producer, decomposer,
consumer and inorganic matter (non living things). I enjoyed
writing it because all I had to do is think of what I am going
to write and then write it down. I think I did good because
writing was correct. Next time I need to finish my writing quicker.
Here is my writing.

😕How to explain a healthy ecosystem😕

What is a healthy ecosystem?

A healthy ecosystem is an environment for both living and non living things. A healthy ecosystem needs decomposers, producers, consumers and inorganic matter, all these help build up a healthy ecosystem.  

Some decomposers are fungi and bacteria, These eat non living things. Snapper, starfish and sharks are all consumers, Most consumers eat producers and decomposers. Some consumers eat other consumers like sharks. Producers are trees, algae and kelp, these produce energy .Inorganic matter are things that are not alive like water, air, sun, soil, shells and metal.

Inorganic matter are things that aren’t alive but they have important jobs like hiding creatures and good places for creature to live. Organic matter are creatures that can be consumers, producers and decomposers.

Ecosystems are fragile and if an ecosystem becomes unbalanced the food chain can also change and everything will be out of balance.  For example, if there were no producers in any ecosystems the consumers won’t have anything to eat and then the consumers will die. Then the only things that will be standing will be  inorganic matter.
