Dogs (Oreo)

Kia Ora Whanau,

Today I will be telling you why I want a dog.

like dogs because they make you comfortable and feel nice. Dogs were just a loose category of wolves until around 15,000 years ago, when our ancestors tamed and began to manage them. We fed them, bred them, and spread them from continent to continent. While other wolf descendants died out, dogs grew into a new species. Dogs help you if your in trouble like if your getting robbed or you got hurt they will help you all the time when it happens. They help blind people when they are crossing the road or got hurt. 

This could have happened around the same time as the rise of agriculture, about 10,000 years ago. The oldest fossils generally agreed to be domestic dogs date to about 14,000 years, but several disputed fossils more than twice that age may also be dogs or at least their no longer entirely wolf ancestors.

Needs

Kia ora Whanau,

Today me and my class are doing this when we have to write what has to still be there in the future and I choose houses because if we didn't have houses then where would we live in the future? This is where I will tell you why we need houses

I think that you still need houses because it makes you safe and you can survive. It's possible that people have been living in houses since before there were technically people. Who built the first houses? Early humans built temporary shelters, but the first permanent houses were built by early farmers in the Middle East about 11,000 years ago. Around that time, at Zawi Chemi Shanidar in the Zagros Mountains, people used river boulders to build some of the earliest houses.

Book Review

 Kia ora Whanau,

Today me and my class had to read all the chapters on our book in our group and my group have to write a blog about the book Charlotte's web. Miss Birtch assigned us these novel study tasks. We had to write about the book. The book is about this little pig, 

He was little and he was a newborn but there were to much pigs so he had to be killed by Mr Arable. Then this girl came and stopped him right before he was gonna kill the pig. The father stopped and the girl begged him for the pig to live so he let her keep the pig till the pig is older so she looked after him weeks after weeks and after weeks.

My favourite part is when Wilbur tries to be a spider and tries to make a web in the mud. The characters are Wilbur, Charlotte, Fern Arable, Mrs Arable, Mr Arable, Templeton, Charlotte, Avery Arable and Mr Zuckerman. Only 91% liked this book. I rate 5/10 because sometimes there are hard and long words that I don't even understand. 

It is important that Year 7-8 do Friday sport

 Kia Ora Whanau,

Today in Te Ao Whanui we are learning if we disagree or we agree for the period. There is a statement that the teacher set us to do and we have to write what we think. I hope you like the blog.

Every Friday all the year 7 and 8's have a early lunch for like half an hour so we can get ready for our game. After we have our early lunch we have a teacher and he rings a bell so we can go to the teachers that teaches you Netball. Most of the time people mostly focus on school work. The other years (year 9 10 12 13) They have there lunch and have there last class

I agree because it is really important to have Friday sport. It is good for you because you can get exercise and get fit.

Ice Cream is better than cake

 Kia ora Whanau!

Today me and my class were talking about if cake or ice cream were the best so we used this thing and we call it Oreo but it stands for Opinion, Reason, Example and Opinion (again) and after we write we have to highlight the things we were supposed to do on the Oreo so here is which one I like the most

I agree because there are different flavours and it is healthier than cake. My favourite flavour is cookie and cream because it has cookies in it. When you eat cake you have a sugar rush 

Cats are a better pet than dogs

 Kia ora Readers,

Today me and my class were discussing what pet is better and today and I choose. 

I disagree and think dogs are better than cats because all that cats do is just scratch your couch, Scratch on the door, Meow at night and keep you awake and leave fur all over your house. But dogs are better than cats because they can hunt for stuff and they can help people if they need help and they can sense if something is wrong and they are more entertained than cats and more focused than cats because cats just walk around in your house and that's why I like dogs the most. Thank you for reading and make sure you comment. What pet do you like the most?
