A Winter Poem by Andrew

Winter is …

Freezing cold

Bears hibernating

Icy grass

Trees naked

Wet mud

Heaters on

Birds finding food

Time to get warm

Fingers numb

People freezing

Very very chilly

      Tuesday at Netball by Chanel Room 18

At netball we learn all different

kinds of passes like chest passes,

bounce passes, shoulder passes and overhead passes.

After we do the passes we play a

netball game.

After the game we do zig zag passes.     The picture up the top has  a netball and a netball love heart.

A Winter Poem by Elise

Winter is…

Warm hot chocolate to drink

The sun beaming brightly on the grass

A lovely cool breeze swishing on your chin

Gorgeous frost on the grass

Dressing warmly and snugly

Putting a fire on

Freezing cold it is

Birds searching for food

I like winter!

Winter     by Shavaun room 18                                         

Winter is…                                           

The sun beaming on the grass

White frosty snow on the grass

Dressing warmly

Feeling the breeze hit your face  

Birds searching for worms

Warm hot chocolate to keep you warm

I like winter!

Cats Should be Banned by Trelise

Cats

I think cats should be banned. There are two sides of cats. Some people think cats shouldn’t be banned, and other people think cats should be banned.

First, cats can bite you and scratch you real hard.

Secondly, cats can kill native birds. Cats bring the native birds inside, and they are really proud, but you aren’t.

Thirdly, cats can break  furniture and other things in the house.

Cats should not be with New Zealand families!

Should We Have Zoos by Thomas

Should We Have Zoos       by Thomas room18

I think we should have zoo’s in New Zealand,

Firstly predators are closer in the wild.

Secondly zoos look after and breed all the animals safely.

Thirdly all the animals are well fed.

Lastly the animals don’t get lonely, because when one dies people keep them company.

That’s why I think zoos are good places to keep animals in New Zealand.

Should People Keep Cats as Pets by Matthew

Cats     by Matthew Room 18

I think people should not have cats.

They might bite your hands if you don’t feed them properly.

Also cats might scratch your furniture.

Cats kill  New Zealand nature like our native birds.

They might run away from your house and annoy your neighbours.

Thats why you should not have cats as pets!

Should We Have Zoos by Daniel

Should We Have Zoos   by Daniel Room 18

I think we should have zoos.

I think we should have zoos because it helps the animals not get extinct.

Animals don’t need to find food as they are fed well by the zoo staff.

Animals can’t hurt people because they are in enclosures.

Hunters can’t shoot them.

It is a safe place for them to breed.

So zoos are wonderful places for animals.

Should We Have Zoos by Azalea

Should We Have Zoos by Azalea Room 18

 I think we should have zoos. Zoos treat animals in a nice way.

The first reason is that zoos help the animals to make their species grow. They have breeding programmes.

The second reason is that they get more food instead  of having to hunt to catch their own food. The zoo staff give them the right amount of food with a balanced diet.

They rescue animals which are endangered and keep them safe in their zoo.

Zoos treat  animals kindly with respect!

Aricia has written a persuasive story on Cats

Cats

I  Think  people should not keep cats

Cats kill NewZealand nature birds then there will be no more birds.  

Cats jump on the curtains sometime.

Sometimes your  cats  might bring a dead bird into the house.

When you play with your cats they might scratch you with their sharp claws.

Cats should be banned from New Zealand!!
