Horses by Victoria

We have been working on separating our writing into paragraphs (different sections for different ideas). The students had to plan, write, edit and share their work.
This piece is written by Victoria, a Year 4. She is great at experimenting and trying out new things with her writing. Great job Victoria!

Horses

Description

Horses have hooves, not feet. They have a long tail to whack flies away from their body. Horses have a mane over their neck and a little bit over their head. Their ears prick back if they are angry. The horses neck has the mane on it to stop it’s neck from getting sunburnt. The horses neck is attached to the head, which has the ears, eyes and nose on it. It has 3 body parts; the neck, the head and the body.

Habitat

Horses live on a farm. On the farm, there are paddocks. Horses stay in the paddocks so they don’t go into peoples’ houses. At night, they put the horses into stables so they don’t get cold at night.

Diet

All horses eat hay, hard feed and grass. Not all horses eat carrots and apples. Some horses, like one of my horses, Maggie, eat oddfellows. She doesn’t just like oddfellows, she loves oddfellows. They also eat oats.

Behaviour

Horses travel from farm to farm in a horsefloat. You can ride horses too! Horses can gallop instead of running. Galloping is just like jogging for horses. When horses are playing, they run, jump, buck and kick. You don’t want to be in the horse paddock when they are like that!
