"Trash"

In class we are reading a book called trash. It is about three boys and they find a wallet. it's got some valuable thing in there. But the police want it, and where they live the police are dangerous and will do anything for the wallet. So the three boys had to hide the wallet somewhere. They had to hide it so the police would not get it. In the wallet there was a clue so the boys followed it to the translation. When they get back the police take one of the boys away and beat him to tell them where the wallet is but he doesn't. One of the clues in the translation was a guy at the jail would help them out. So on eof the boys went and tried to find out anything he can.

Yoga

I didn't do this yoga because of my foot but I watched; what a site! They were going on  trip through the jungle. Starting by a hug with mum, and finishing with a saving the jungle from a volcano! It was really fun to watch especially the great jungle cry! here is some photos:

Over all even if I didn't do (I wish I did) it was a really exciting experience.

Persuasive Text

Molly, Sofia.V, Chloe and I wrote a persuasive text together. We had about one week to do this. We got to choose between some animals that Miss Pitt chose. We chose the Grizzly Bear. We did alot of research and worked as a team to create this text. I thought it was really fun because I like to work as a team when we write.

Persuasive Text:             

Grizzly bears may be huge and scary but really, with a bit of training and  a lot of love grizzly bears could be your very own special pet. It will be like the t.v coming to life! No more burglaries, no more feeling scared,  No more freezing cold nights. It’s a 3 in one deal the grizzly bear is the answer!

Have you ever been scared about being robbed? Well no need to fear anymore because the grizzly bear will save you! You will never have to be scared or worried again. The grizzly bear is at the top of the food chain so they can protect themselves, Also Grizzly bears have better sense of smell than a hound dog so they will know if something isn’t right!  If you had a house burglary, what pet would you rather have, a simple cute white bunny or a big Grizzly bear, at your door?

A grizzly bear is a great companion buddy. They are fluffy and cuddly just like a teddy bear. You will always have someone to talk if you are down, they live for 28 years so they will be there for a while. They hibernate during the winter so you will be able to spend time with family and friends in the cold seasons.

Do you think a grizzly bear is hard to feed? Think again! Do you have lot’s of wasted food? Well, you wouldn’t have to waste food if you had a grizzly bear. You wouldn’t have to pay lot’s of money for pet food because you would just feed them leftovers.  Also the grizzly bear's diet consists mostly of berries, nuts and insects so you wouldn’t have to buy meat for them. Plus, they eat insects so your house will always be insect and pest free!

No more burglaries, no more feeling scared,  No more freezing cold nights, no more wasting leftovers. I guarantee you it will be an amazing idea. You want a grizzly bear? Well stop what you are doing and buy a grizzly bear now!
