15 Minute Writing

We are learning how to write essays in our class. We had to write a letter to the author of an argument about if cats or dogs are better. This is my letter.

Dear Author

I completely agree that cats are superior to dogs. My dog poop all over the back lawn and occasionally in my house. Whereas I don’t even know what my cats poop looks like. And there is the terrible smell.

The smell is really revolting. Its so strong sometimes I cant even find the source. It could be any where. And when I find the source I panic “WHAT DO I DO WITH IT!” Then when I finally dispose of it. THE SMELL STICKS AROUND! For what feels like hours. Dogs have little care about there personal hygiene.

Dogs will roll in the mud, play in the rain, eat every thing and they still just waltz inside as if the house is meant to be muddy and wet and have random things lying around. Cats on the other hand don’t leave a speck of dirt on them (even if it means licking themselves. But the noise that dogs can make…

It is so loud! There will be something stupid like another dog on TV or  bird outside and all of a sudden… BARK! BARK! BARK! SHHHHHHH!!!!!

Rugby is better than Soccer

  I disagree that rugby is better than soccer. Soccer is more fun than rugby. You can run fast you can score goals or you could be the goalkeeper who tries to save all the goals. Soccer is also a lot safer than rugby.

  Rugby is really dangerous because you are constantly smashing into one another. Soccer although there are occasions where there is an injury it is very rare. It is also usually less harmful than breaking a bone or something else that happens a lot in rugby. Soccer is also more popular than rugby.

  Although soccer is less popular in New Zealand it is more people playing it world wide. There are about 265 million people in the world who play soccer compared to rugbys 6 million players. Thats around 44 times as more people playing soccer than rugby.

15 Minute Writing

In home room we are learning how to structure a paragraph. Today we had to write about a super power we would like to have.

My Dream Super Power

  If I could have any super power I would have teleportation. I think teleportation would have lots of pros. I could teleport any where any time. I would be able to get places really easily.

  Getting places would be really easy. I would just disappear and pop up out of nowhere. It would be quick and free. Instead of paying to fly to another country I could just teleport there. I would help people.

  Helping people would be easy. I could take peoples stuff to others like a courier. If someone was mailing something to someone I could just teleport to the person give it to them then teleport back. But I think I would have to keep it a secret.

  I would have to keep it a secret from others. Because someone could want to do experiments on me. I think they would do it so they can find out what they need to do to be able to teleport. Although, I could just teleport away from them. I would keep it a secret just incase.

Music

In music we have been learning how to play the cords for the song smelly cat. We have all had a turn on the keyboard and now we are deciding what instruments we are going to specialize in. I want to do keyboard really badly but thewre is lots of people wanting to do keyboard.

ALWTW section 4

Q1
Yes I think he would because Salva is kind. Although I do not think it would be a good idea.

Q2
Because, like Salva, uncle is kind and wants to help others.

Q3
The groups attitude changed because his uncle wasn't there to protect him and they thought that he would be slow and sad without his uncle.

Q4
Salva realises his family is gone when he is trying to catch up with the lady but he gets a flash back about what his uncle said and realises what he really meant. The memory of his uncle giving him lots of goals to walk to is what kept him going.
