Should we keep pets?

This week I read an article on kiwi kids news about whether we should keep pets and it has made me quite confused and unsure whether we should keep pets. Here are some of the reasons that the articles said about why we should release them:

1.It’s not what the animal chooses

2. They probably don’t enjoy dry food

3. They almost certainly would prefer that we didn’t decide whether or not they can have offspring

4. They would like to be able to choose themselves when to go for walks

Here are some reasons that we came up with about why we should keep them:

1. In New Zealand a lot of our bird species would go extinct with cats and dogs as well as possums and rats and stoats

2. Some species of dog would go extinct from bigger dogs

3. Dogs might attack you. You could be walking to school and a dog would come out of nowhere!

Some cats are basically wild anyway but something that the article pointed out was that while this generation of pets couldn’t be released on account of not knowing how to survive because we spoil them,the next generation could.

What do you think? Should pets be released? What does your PET think?

 

 

Hushed

In reading time this week we read a story called Hushed. It’s a story from School journal-May 2017 and it comes in parts. We read the first part and basically it’s a dystopian story where there is way too much control.  So far we think that the kids are brainwashed by adults so the adults can keep control because all the kids do at school is build straight white towers. They still talk and laugh and tease like normal kids ,but ,no kid who was still sane would think building straight white towers was normal. there is also this thing were you get hushed and we think it might be that because the adults want to keep control that anyone who speaks out against the system or breaks the system gets their spark of life sucked from them or something cruel like that. The main character, Tre, has been moved to a new sector and it’s different to where he used to live,in region G.His parents were hushed and he is really different to everyone else except for a girl called Muse who got hushed because she didn’t build straight white walls out of white things that are like Lego bricks she built other stuff. Because she was hushed she doesn’t do anything now but Tre was at her desk and she had arranged some bricks to spell out run…

🪄🥪Sandwitches🥪🪄

 

There once was a group of  eleven women dedicated to their children. They each had one child. Every morning the women would wake up, make their child’s favorite sandwich and then walk their child to school. While their kids were at school they would meet up and talk. But one day just as they were all nestling into their favorite cozy chairs to talk, they got a call from school. It turns out that each and every one of their children had died in various “accidents” while on a school trip. “Accidents” like falling off a cliff into a pit of lava(She had meant to be going to the seaside!!” her mother screamed down the phone”). Each and every “accident” was even more unbelievable than the last, so, the eleven mothers swore revenge. They went to Witch School for Revenge Seeking Mothers(WSRSM) and learned the craft of witchery. They named themselves the Sandwitches(BU BU BAA) and each of them named themselves after their child’s favorite sandwiches . Once they had graduated they went around wreaking havoc on everyone. Suddenly, strange things started happening. Eight of the witches got swallowed up by eight different planets! The remaining three still went around causing disasters though, and it was midnight after they’d done one of their more fatal tricks that the moon decided it was her turn to feast…

 

The moon moved closer to the witches.”H h hello moon” stammered the youngest witch,whose name was Piccalilli Cheese. The moon did not reply, just moved closer.

The second oldest witch, whose name was Peanut Butter Jelly jabbed Piccalilli cheese in the ribs and hissed under her breath that she hadn’t been polite enough,that she was going to get them all eaten then said” g greetings to you dear moon, and what might you be doing down here on a night as fine as this, may I ask?”. Still no reply from the moon,although she did move closer. The oldest witch,whose name was Ham Lettuce Tomato, was getting tired and frustrated with her eight sisters being eaten and these two simply stammering, felt rather bold in that moment and shouted”bug of stupid moon, you can clearly see you’re not wanted!!”.The moon swallowed up the oldest witch(or should I say the oldest witch not eaten yet) quick smart and that is why there are only two terrible witches who cackle(rather nervously) at night. For now at least…
