Animals Should Not Be Kept In Zoos

We are learning to use emotive and persuasive language also to use a rhetorical question. This week we are practicing our expedition (speech). We wrote a practice speech to help us when we write our final expedition (speech). Read my expedition to see what you think.

I enjoyed writing my practice speech because it is preparing me for the real speeches. 
I found it tricky to use more persuasive language. 
Next time I would find more persuasive language to put in my writing.

Animals Should Not be kept in cages

Do you think animals should be kept in cages?

I firmly believe that animals should not be kept in cages because it is cruel. I think it is brutal because they rely on humans to survive. They also get taken from their families.

Firstly, in captivity animals rely on humans to survive. Their natural Instinct to hunt is taken away from them. Tourists feed them junk food which is really bad for them and it's not a part of their diet.

Secondly, animals are taken away from their habitat. Some countries are too hot or cold for animals. Lack of freedom means their muscles get weak.

Thirdly, animals are taken from their families. Baby animals are taken away from their mothers. There are no herds in zoos so the animals are really lonely. 

In conclusion, I strongly encourage you to not support the animals that are being mistreated because it is bad for them and zoos and cages.

Ruru Art

For 2 weeks we have been doing art. It is a Ruru (Morepork). We used dye for our ruru's. We had to blend the colours in to make a feather look. We used dark green and purple for the background, We also used blue and green for the body. And red or yellow for the eyes! 
I enjoyed making a google drawing about my ruru art.

I found it tricky to make the photo straight when I took a photo.

Next time I would change the colours of my ruru arts background if I could.

Here is my ruru art!

Sacraments Of Initiation

Today for R.E. we made a poster about the Sacraments Of Initiation. We had to write the three Sacraments, their Symbols and the Ritual. The Symbols for Baptism are: The cross, a white garment, oil, holy water and light. The Symbols for Confirmation are: Fire and a dove. Symbols for Eucharist are the bread and wine (the body and blood of Christ)

I enjoyed making a background and using fonts for my writing I have done.

I found it tricky to write the rituals because I did not know what some were.

Next time I would change the background to brighter colours.

Here is my poster
