Grandparent Acrostic Poem

Granddad

Great at making swings for me to swing on

Really fun when he plays games with me

Always caring for me

Never gives up on helping me

Does not stop being the best granddad ever  

Does not get angry when he's annoyed   

Always has coconut water at the ready

Dogs are what he loves, he has two

How Wolves Change Rivers

How Wolves Changed Yellowstone Park’s Rivers

How do wolves change rivers? They bring more animals to a  national wildlife reserve.

When wolves we're reintroduced to a wildlife reserve called Yellowstone at the beginning they killed a few deer but then the deer ran away to different places to live, which led to more plants growing where the deer used to graze and eat, Then the wolves started killing Coyotes and then rabbits, beavers, mice and badgers came back, then the wolves started leaving carcass’s on the ground so then birds such as eagles and ravens came to eat.

Since the deer had ran away there were bears eating berries and because the wolves caused that to happen, the  bears helped the wolves by killing deer calf for the wolves. Then the rivers changed, the stopped making erosions so even MORE animals came.

Wolves bringing so much more life into the Yellowstone National Wildlife Park.

Letter To The Auckland Council

To-The Auckland Council

There is way to much traffic, even though you are building more roads you need to build MORE! you should get at least 5 lanes especially since the world masters are here.

   Lets talk about builders there's simply not enough. You should hire more to get the work done faster. And if you want to close down the motor way so you can get the work done faster but first build more street roads. 

Yours sincerely

Zachary

Working Together

Working together is being kind, helping people and other things.

First I want to talk about being kind, being kind is helping people, not making fun of them or being rude and pushing and shoving them.

Finally I want to talk about cooperating with others, that is letting people have a turn, letting them say something, letting them take part and helping you because they might be really smart.

Why Animals Should Be Kept In Captivity

WHY  ANIMALS SHOULD BE KEPT IN CAPTIVITY!

What do you think, animals should or shouldn't be kept in captivity. I'm going to tell you why I think they should be kept in captivity.

First of all they're habitats are being destroyed and they have nowhere else to live, more than 50% of animals homes(forests)  have been destroyed by getting cut down by us and the percentage is going down 10% faster than it can be regrown.

Secondly, animals that are endangered might go extinct because of us and they need new places to live, in fact in the past two decades 11 animals have gone extinct because of us.

Thirdly animals have less of a chance of being killed by predators because they will be in a safe environment, almost all animals have at least one natural predator  and if they are endangered they could all get extinct by being killed.

The fourth and last reason is for us to see them! And also to inform us about them and we can see them and to educate us about why and how we should protect them from poachers and predators.

Now that you have heard me I strongly believe that you should think about what I have said and help animals to captivity.

60's Fashion Making

60's Fashion Making

(NO PHOTO OF ME) WHY?

For our topic The Arts Through The Decades we had to make a suit from the sixties,

We had to design an outfit from the sixties  and then had to make it on someone out of 2 meters of tape newspaper and two scissors.

We designed it with a shirt with a collar and pants with flares and glasses(we didn't use) because that  is what they wore in the sixties

The flares didn't work out but the shirt kinda did the shirt had a collar which was uncomfortable and arm pockets that fell of.

Nothing worked well.

If I do it again i'll use less tape and less newspaper for things.
