Reading: Paralympics 1964 vs 2020

 Goal: To compare and contrast information from videos and articles

This week for reading we have been learning about the Tokyo Paralympics in 1964 and 2020 and how they have changed. Here is my slideshow. Have you watched any of the paralympics?

 Last week for writing we had to try and persuade someone on something. My writing was about why I should be allowed another pet. Here is my writing.

I should be allowed another pet.

I should be allowed another pet these are my reasons.

Firstly it would teach responsibility. 

I would take very good care of it by feeding it, playing with it, paying for all its toys, food, bedding, bowls with my money, and clean up after it.   

Secondly, another pet would not annoy my parents. 

It could sleep in my room  and I wouldn't get upset if it chewed up my stuff , slobbered over everything  and messed up my stuff.

Thirdly, it would keep me entertained and stop me getting bored.

I would take it for walks everyday happily, I would take it to the park for a run.  

I would play with it outside everyday and would teach it tricks and how to walk backward.

Also, I could get in from the SPCA which would help the animals.

Animals are often hurt that don't have a home. It's better to adopt animals from the SPCA rather than buy one from a petshop or trademe. Pets from the SPCA have already been wormed and spayed and had their shots so that saves you money because you don't have to go and get it done at the vet because its already been done. Also, if they don’t get adopted from the SPCA they might get put down.

In conclusion, I should be allowed to have another pet because it would teach responsibility, it wouldn't annoy my parents, it would keep me entertained and stop me getting bored, and it would help the animals at the SPCA, this is why I should be allowed another pet.

Do you have  any pets and want another one ?

 

Facts about Lisa Carrington

For reading last week we had to make a slide show about Lisa Carrington. My favourite fact I found out was that she played netball as a child and wanted to be a Silver Fern (I also play netball).  On my last slide I wrote a list of questions for her. 

My favourite question was: If a kid wanted to be a kayaker when they grow up, what could they do now to get started?

Here is my slide show.
