Speeches
WALT: Write an interesting persuasive argument
I really enjoyed writing and saying my speech because I felt scared at first but after I read my speech I felt like I did a good job.
Do pets deserve the same care as humans?
Do you think pets deserve the same care as humans because I do and today I will be telling you about what I think about why pets deserve the same care as humans?
I think pets deserve the same care as humans because people sometimes hurt pets by kicking and throwing them around including puppies and cats people also sell pets to make money like little puppies and little kittens
Cats
Do you think that cats have nine lives well no! Cats have only one life just like any other living creature. However, a cat is probably the most independent pet out there. They can survive falls and other serious accidents without being fatally wounded, which is perhaps where the saying 'a cat has nine lives' actually comes from.
Dogs
Did you know that Dogs can serve people in many ways? For example, there are guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs, guide dogs for blind people, and police dogs. There are also dogs that are trained to smell for diseases in the human body or to find bombs or illegal drugs. These dogs sometimes help police in airports or other areas.
Conclusion
And that is why I think we should treat animals the same as we treat each other.

Nonrenewable Energy Sources
On Readworks, our task was to read the text, and then we had to write two or three sentences of what we have learned. I had fun reading and writing the text because it helped me learn more things about energy sources.
I have learned that energy sources are of two types: nonrenewable and renewable. Energy sources are considered nonrenewable if they cannot be replenished (made again) in a short period of time. On the other hand, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind can be replenished naturally. I have also learned that all fossil fuels are nonrenewable, but not all nonrenewable energy sources are fossil fuels coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.

Training for cross country
For P.E our fitness teacher (Matua Paulo) came into our school so we can train for the cross country which is on the 20th of July. We had to jog or walk straight and then we had to run as fast as we could diagonally.

What are climate and climate change?
On Readworks, our task was to read the text, and then we had to write two or three sentences of what we have learned. I had fun reading and writing the text because it helped me learn more things about climate change.
I have learned that the climate of a region or city is its typical or average weather. I have also learned that the climate of Hawaii is sunny and warm. But the climate of Antarctica is freezing cold.
