Topic: cats are better pets then dogs.

Topic: cats are better pets then dogs.

In my opinion dogs are better pets then cats. I think that dogs are better because they don't go off during the day because dogs stay at home all the time so you can spend time with them. You can teach tricks to dogs like to sit, speak, lay down, roll over and a lot of other things. In my prospective cat are unpredictable like I have thought that a cat liked me for one second but then it attacks me the next. Don't get me wrong dogs can do that to but normally if someone gets a dog attack it would be straight away. So in my opinion dogs are better pets then cats.   

It Turns Out Cats and Dogs Get Along Just Fine

week 2 do now

topic school uniform should not be mandatory. 

I agree that school uniforms should not be mandatory. school uniforms should not be mandatory because if we don’t have to wear school uniforms we can be ourselves and wear whatever you want. But I would understand if there are some rules about that like we don’t want inappropriate clothing. I think that we shouldn’t have to wear school uniforms because we are all different and if we have school uniforms then we would all be the same. school uniforms should not be mandatory.

do now week one

 I disagree that we should have only one week of school because we have ten or so weeks at school so that it wouldn't be fair if we only got one week of break because we need to have a break because we would be to tired to do school work. One of the benefits of school holidays is the time that families can spend together. School work especially in high school get tiring. Holidays give families an opportunity to spend time together and celebrate culture.

slide the corner

today we are starting novel study i am going to be reading slide the corner.

I think that by looking at the cover of the story I think it is about rally car racing and the journey that they go through to get there

I think that slide the corner most likely means that the rally car drifts around the corner.

Explain your thinking. Have you heard of the author Fleur Beale before? i have heard fleur beale before but i can not remember from.  I did some research about her she is a 76 year old author

after reading the back of the book i have found out that it is about a kid that wants to become a rally car driver and also wants to become a mechanic.
