My Happy Poem

This is my happy poem. I chose to write about it because it's a poem about what makes ME happy.

My Happy poem.

It’s better than Fruit Loops,

Better than being curled up in a blanket watching TV,

Watching movies, going to the movies.

It’s better than looking at the stars on my roof in bed,

watching The Simpsons,

playing with my Farm Animals.

It's better than hot chocolate,

LPS,toys

and playing with Mason.

It’s better than playing on the trampoline,

better than dogs, swimming,

staying at Nan’s.

       I’M GOING TO SYDNEY TO SEE DAD!

Passion Project Plan

This is my passion project plan. I chose to write about because I enjoy writing about things that like and this is my passion project and my passion is cats because I have a baby/cat at home and when I went to Sydney, I bought him a bed he has started sleeping in it so I've gotten to spend more time with a cat and under stand them better.

For your passion project, you are allowed to learn and share your learning about any topic you like.

What do you want to do? Be as specific as you can.

I want to learn about cats and help people with cat problems like Jackson Galaxy.

Why is this a good topic for me?

Because I have a cat at home and he is my baby and I want to understand him more.

What will it look like when it is finished/how will it be presented?

It will be a slideshow to show lots of new information that I have learnt about cats in the next 5 weeks.

                                                          Jackson Galaxy                               Jackson Galaxy is a musician by night, cat  behaviorist by day.
  If you'r wondering what a cat behaviorist is, it is a person that goes to people's houses with bad cats and retrains them. Sometimes he even saves relationships.

Flag Task

Flag Task

New Zealand is in the middle of deciding if we need a new flag or not.

Read this story and decide which flag you think represents our country the best.

Write a justified opinion explaining your view.

I think that we should keep the original fag because…

• Reason 1:Because...Each colour in the flag represents something.
• Reason 2:Because...The soldiers in world war 1 and world war 2died with it.

• Reason 3:Because...The money that they would use to change the flag could save some people in NZ from poverty.

Success Criteria

• States which flag you like the most
• Gives at least 3 reasons to explain your thoughts
• Best possible spelling and punctuation
• Topic specific vocabulary

Turtlehead and Bowis

 Turtlehead and Bowis

Turtlehead is a turtle. He has a skinny neck that has two red out lines on the sides. He is a little bit bigger than my hand. I have taken him out two times. Bowis has a little deck in his tank. Turtlehead's little deck has fallen down but we will fix it soon.Each time we look in the tank when there heads are up, they come down and look at us were ever we go close to the tank and if we pass them they will pop there heads into ther shell quickly and then pop them back out.

Week 4:My new pet

My New Pet

 My new pet is a praying mantis and his name is Manti. I was watching a movie on my computer when my mum called me from out the front when she was gardening. She said that she was cutting down thorns and she found a bug and she didn't want to cut it down. Mum knows that I like bugs and she didn't want to touch it. She asked what it was and I told her it was a praying mantis. Then I picked it up and ran inside, got a special shoe box and put manti in it. Then I went of my movie and did lots of research on how to look after praying mantis's. To make a long story short, I looked up how to make a home, how to look after a praying mantis, and how to tell it's gender. I needed to tell Manti's gender because I wanted to to call Manti he or her and I also wanted to know if I could let Manti have baby's. I needed to know if Manti could have baby's because when praying mantis's mate, the female praying mantis bites of the male mantis' head half way through mating and then when they are finished the male mantis dies.Manti is a male and if I let Manti mate, he will die.
I have had Manti for longer than two weeks now and he has learnt to listen to me. I trust him.

Manti is safe in his box and he can't get out.

We have a great relationship.
