Pets should be allowed in school.

I strongly believe that pets should be allowed in schools

You would agree cats are fluffy & you could sleep with them if you're tired.  If you have no friends you can play with the pets at school. Another reason is dogs can help you if are blind and they can help you to get things like pens & pencils.  Another point is they can protect you from danger and if you are cold they can warm you up.  If there's any robbers they scare them away.

You could train dogs, cats and birds to dance and you could do P.E with the dogs.  You can also train the pets to do tricks like flips and talking. You can also play tag or same thing like that and they could be in.

Pets are playful, so you could play with them heaps and heaps and heaps until they or you get tired.  When you are bored, pets can cheer you up.  When you haven't given in your homework you could say the dog ate it and the dog will do a little cutie face and your teacher will go awwwwwww.

Therefore I believe that pets should be allowed at school.

                                                 

         

Skimming strategy Week 2

WALT skim an unknown text so that we can quickly get an understanding of it. I can decide if a book has useful information I need or whether I want to read it for pleasure. Skimming is a fast reading technique.
1 Look for the title.  
2 Look on the back for the blurb.
3 Look for key words. 
4 Look at the pictures. 
5 Look at the author and illustrator.
