Argument

This week for writing we had to do an argument about animals in zoos.

I believe that animals should not be kept in a zoo. 

I believe that animals do not belong in a zoo. They are wild animals and it is bad for them to be baby fed their whole life. 

I also think that its not fair that the Animals have no say and no chance to express what they are feeling and what they want. Lastly how would humans like and cope with being kept in an enclosure with another species gazing at them like dolls. 

Animals should not be kept in cages and enclosures because if they are released they will not be used to be gathering food and finding shelter for themselves. They will not know how to survive in the real world. Imagine this, your parents make your bed, cook food, put your clothes on, do your homework and everything else. And suddenly send you to make a life for your own. Pay rent and cook and all the rest of it. 

Animals also shouldn’t be in enclosures because they never said they wanted to be their. They don’t have any say or influence in where humans keep them. How would you like to be taken to an unnatural and a unknown place. 

Would you like to be bossed around. My last point is how would humans like to be held in a zoo  with another species in charge of them watching them for hours. 

So in conclusion I strongly believe that animals should not be kept in zoos for these 3 reasons. They will not be able to fend for the self in the real world, they have no say in things and humans would not like to be bossed around like that so other species probably don’t either.

Maths

 week for maths we did area and perimeter. It was easy but was slightly harder when we were doing pi. Pi = 3.14159265359 which is just 3.14. I use a calculator because is was quicker. 

Weekend sport

This weekend my rugby team is playing against Marist. I play for Blaketown and we a really close with Marist. I play Firstfive for Blaketown. We have 22 people in our rugby team and we are pretty good. We won the pre-season ripa but came second it ten a side. 

We have won the final 2 but last year we lost to Marist in the final 20 - 22. We also won 2 against Marist in the final.  

Descriptive writing

This week we were practising for the writing test that is coming up. So we practised describing a image. Here is the start of my writing practise.

I saw her and then she was gone, I heard whispering for me to follow, It only took me a few seconds to decide… My curiosity overrules the urge for me to run home be scared and retreat.

Tasting  fear I furiously try to predict the oncoming events. The girl is  walking down the corridor of bewildering trees that provide an arch way around the narrow stream. The pure smell of nature taking its course eases my anxiety somewhat.  I follow the mystery girl but soon lose sight of her as the mist filters through the trees blocking my view. I've lost her.

today we read chapter 3 of the boy in the striped Pyjamas.

Numeracy

This week for numeracy we have been focusing on teaching fractions. I have not enjoyed teaching fractions, and I am not good at teaching.

Topic 

We are working on finding places and finding some things about them. I like doing this for topic because you get to find places on the map.
