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.
