Ni hao readers,

This afternoon I have completed a kiwi kids news article and answered all the questions. This article was about a one hundred and five year old woman that was a runner in the senior Olympics. What I found challenging was the thinking questions because you're the one who really has to think about what you're going to write.

Performing Elements B.A.S.T.E

Xin chao readers,

Today I have completed my slide show called The Arts Dance/Drama/Music. Every time we completed something to do with dance, music or drama we add them to this slide show. In my slide show I have included the elements of dance and more. I found that I enjoyed formatting and arranging the font, size and images.

Persuasive Writing - Three For/Against Statements 2

Kia orana readers welcome back to my blog, 

Today I am sharing going to be sharing with you my For/Against Statements number two. For this we had a slide show where we had to choose three statements and if we did not agree with the statement we had to change it. Here is my work.

I think… Cats do not make the best pets Because…  A lot of people are allergic to cats which might make them very sneezy or have a very serious allergic reaction. Cats also sleep a lot and they don’t often want to get active. My evidence: 1. When someone becomes allergic to cats, what they are actually reacting to is a protein known as Fel d 1, which is in cats’ saliva. 2. Have you ever wondered if all of this sleeping is normal? Cats spend 15-20 hours a day resting or sleeping. (1. Source: Link) (2. Source: Link)

I think… summer is not the best season Because… in summer there are so many bugs amongst you although in winter you don’t have to worry about bugs swarming you every second of the day. Also if you are someone who has hay fever there's no problem with that in winter but in summer you’ll be sneezing all day long.  My evidence: 1. you’re always worried about getting stung by a wasp or bitten by an insect. Well, the good news for you is that winter has virtually no bugs and insects around. 2. Many plants pollinate based on environmental triggers which is why we have different allergy seasons caused by different plants. Most grasses like to pollinate during the heat, which is why summer is when grass allergies are at their worst. (Source one: Link) (Source two: Link)
