  1. I plan for a writing task
  2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different persuasive language sentence starters

         Cats make better pets than fish                            


In my opinion I strongly believe that Cats make better pets than goldfish.


Therefore I believe that Cats make better pets than fish because cats pounce on mice and eat them for tea and then you won’t have mice around your house. Mice can sniff out food but... cats can sniff them and they will pounce out on them and boom the mouse is gone.


Another reason is that cats are very cute especially when they are kittens. My friend Henrietta said that her kittens lived in a suitcase for a happy place, but if that place makes them feel sad they will come and lie on you for a big human hug. Cats are also cute when you dry them with the hair dryer.


Finally cats can also go into competitions for the fastest, cutest, colourfulest and fastest. They may even come 1,2,3 and win a trophy, cats are also very unique, they come in these colors, they come in: Grey, Black, Ginger Etc.


Furthermore I think that cats are GLORIUMPTIOUS!!!!!!!

Persuasive writing - Term 3 week 5

WALT persuade other students to agree with our opinion.  This the purpose for my writing.
Success Criteria:
  1. I plan for a writing task
  2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different sentence starters
  3. Give reasons with detail - use specific words
  4. I write most topic and high frequency words correctly.
  5. I use capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks correctly.
  6. Use persuasive language
Dogs are better than cats!!!


In my opinion I recommend that dogs are better than cats.


The most important thing about dogs being better than cats is because they help you and people. They also keep your house safe when someone that may be a stranger or a friend comes over and you are not home then they have to go away or call you and ask when you are back. Dogs are also good for tracking burglars and other people trying to put drugs in suitcases or in their pockets. Also dogs can help people that may have problems with their sight or are blind, dogs can help people that are in danger, dogs can get a person if they have a fire.      


Therefore, I think that dogs listen when you ask them to do something because they will do it straight away. If you ask them to go and get the pig's ear (which is a toy ) they will go and get it for you. I also think when dogs need something that is lost they will go and find it with their smell.


I also recommend that dogs are very playful, they don’t kill native birds they don’t even kill a little fly. Dogs will stay with you, they won't tug on the lead or make you have to run ( only if they're trained well.) So now you have heard about dogs are better pets than cats you may be persuaded to get a dog and have it as a pet.


Finally, dogs are better pets than cats so maybe this is what makes you want to make New Zealand a better place.        






Country Life is better than City Life - Term 3 Term 4

WALT persuade other students to agree with our opinion.  This is the purpose for my writing.
Success Criteria:
  1. I plan for a writing task
  2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different sentence starters
  3. Give reasons with detail - use specific words
  4. I write most topic and high frequency words correctly.
  5. I use capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks correctly.
  6. Use persuasive language


I think country life is better than city life

In my opinion I think that country life is better than city life  

I think that country life is better than city life because there are more native trees and plants. I believe that native trees could be used for huts and I also believe that plants could be used for hide and go seek and other games.

You can experience different things about plants, you may think to yourself one day, I wonder what this plant is called and that would be amazing to find out about. You also may find sticks, leaves, pine cones etc. Then you could make wall hangings or something for your parents.

You can also learn new things that you never knew about. You can explore the countryside and go down massive streams and waterfalls.  When you are having long walks you may find little creatures and big ones.  You might find ladybirds, caterpillars, hedgehogs etc. Maybe you would think to your self I think that country life is better than city life too.

I think that country life is better than city life.

MY PUPPY PANCAKE !!! - Week 5

In a couple of days I am getting a pit bull from my Uncle Spencer.   
It is going to be 6 weeks old.
It is going to be a brown dog with a bit of blue, we might get two but if we don’t we will get one. I hope he gives us two, but it will be hard to look after two. 
This is what you need to do to look after a puppy:

1. Make sure every morning that they have water and food.
2. Give them a dog wash every Saturday - make sure you have dog wash first.
3. Play tricks  
4. The first thing to do is go to a pet shop about 1 week before you buy them because then you get a lot  of time to get toys and food ready.
~1~ Get a tugging toy
~2~ Get a chewy pig's ear
~3~ Do not forget that you need a buy a  little suit (but make sure it is cute)

Super Hero Day

What a great day we had at school on Friday because we all dressed up as a

super hero from a book or a character. My super hero was a bat cat,  my super power uses a whip so if you are a baddie she can whip you with it.  
It will leave a red line across your butt.
Henrietta won the compertion for the best costume, she came as a lady who is a surfer and she got her arm bitten of from a shark and she is still helping kids to love the water. I thought that she would come first anyway.

OLIVE RICH

My superhero lives in a house that is invisible so if a burglar comes to steal something it won’t know where they are going.  BUT...Olive knows where she is going through because she can press a button on a remote.  She made it all by herself in a beautiful land called America.


My superhero has red short shorts on and an aqua coloured top, on that it has a logo that says s.  She has blue gloves and holds a red sword.  Olive Rich also wears black high heels, Olive’s skin is as brown as a meat pattie in a cheese burger.  Olive also has dark blue big rubber bands around her.  Olive has a mask that is plain black and she also wears a silver head band and on the front of it she has a daisy.  She also has these enormous bright purple wings that are bigger than me.


Olive is a caring, kind, helpful and of course loving.  She protects her town from robbers and stupid people.  She also looks after her little sister and loves her as well as looks out for her as well.
