Toroa bio poem

 WALT: take information from a non fiction text to complete a bio poem. 

Toroa 

Taonga,        Harmless,            Protected,           Serene

Lover of  their preferred habitat, the freezing Southern Ocean.

Who feels happy to hang out with whanau when they are on land. 

Who needs a tubenose to remove salt from their nose and body.

Who gave Maori their bones to make spear tips.

Who fears longlining fishing boats and the thousands of baited hooks they set. 

Who wold like humans to stop polluting the ocean with oil, pesticides and rubbish.

Who comes from a common ancestor, 65 million years ago of penguins.
