Writing term 2 week 8

 In Week 8, Term 2  our school librarian, Mrs C, retired. On her last day, we put on a  Book Character Parade. We dressed up in costumes like book characters and then we went on a parade through the Daycare Centre next to the school, past the shops in the village, along Hobson St and back upTennyson St to the school. 

 I chose to dress up as a dancer from a book and I was from the spaniel group

Writing Week 2 Term 1 2021


 Kia ora.

We are learning that Basic Punctuation means that you have a capital letter at the start of a sentence, and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of every sentence when you do a piece of writing. The first bit of writing I did was an acrostic poem.

Speech Writing


For the last two weeks we have been working on writing speeches.
My topic was saving endangered animals.
We had to present them in front of our class.
I think I did really really good at my speech. 

Here is my speech



Have you ever thought about saving endangered animals? I have. For example pandas. Pandas are the cutest animal in China. Sadly they are being hunted down and people are killing them. In the wild people kill bears, elephants, rhinos and even tigers too. I believe that we don’t have to kill animals because they are part of nature. 

Firstly, elephants should not be killed because they are important to the world. Why are elephants being hunted down you ask?  They are hunted down for their tusks to make jewellery like taonga or as you call them necklaces. Piano keys are also made out of elephant tusks and they could be made out of rhinos horns too.

Secondly, pandas should not be killed either. People kill them for fur to make coats. People kill tigers, bears,  polar bears and lions too. Some people kill animals that don't have fur to make leather coats. Leather comes from animals like cows and even crocodile and alligator are used for leather to make belts, shoes and bags.

Finally, saving animals is what we need to do and I know where to put the animals. We should put the animals in cages and move them to the zoo. So the people do not kill the animals like bears, tigers, and monkeys too. The zoo keepers keep the animals safe at the zoo. The zoo keepers also give the animals food and medicine when they are sick. Oh and one more fact. Why can’t the killers kill the animals? Because there is glass on the cages to keep the animals safe.

I believe that all animals should be safe and not killed by hunters. We can save the animals by putting them safely in the zoo.
