Six-sentence story

Once upon a time there lived a really talented young boy. He lived near the city in New Zealand. His talent was that he could screw a screw driver through his head without dying or without hurting himself. His family didn't really like the idea of him doing what he was doing. But he didn't listen to his family, he kept on doing what he was doing. But then the next day he thought about his talent and so he decided that it was really a bad idea and something might happen to him so he made the decision to stop doing his talent. THE END.

Walt: Express an opinion on a topic.

Have you ever thought of bringing back extinct species? 

Introduction: Well, This week we have been learning about Extinct species and De-extinct species, Even scientists are trying to bring back extinct species because they think that it is a good Idea to bring extinct species back.

Paragraph 1:Animal Welfare 

I think it is not a good Idea to bring back extinct species because if scientists actually do bring back extinct animals they might bring back the disease that we have already gotten rid of. I don’t think it is worthwhile because a lot of people are probably scared of the extinct species and if they hear that the scientists are bringing the extinct species they might get worried and then start to get really scared.   

Paragraph 2:Health

I don’t think bringing back extinct animals because if the scientist do bring the extinct species back then everyone might get sick and then our health will get worse and then we all might die and the animals might take over.

Paragraph 3: Environment

If we bring back extinct species our environment might end up rotten or very dirty because the species that the scientists brought back. Also if the scientists did bring back extinct species it will put everyone at risk because they might end up distorting the environment.

Conclusion: 

Extinct species would be cool to bring back but it wouldn’t be cool because they might bring bad things back to our planet, Well we have already gotten rid of.

Technology Wood

I have chosen to make a box for me. I think that making a box is the best idea for me because I have never made a box out of wood and I think that I would like it very much and so that my things that I put inside it don't go missing because if I put it in my wood box then I will always know where it is.

The box will be used for my things and my box will be used at home because if I take it anywhere I might lose it and not find it. So if I just leave it in my room then it will be safe because I will always know where it is.

My Final choice was to make a box because I think I would like to put things in this box and because I think that my box would be useful for somethings that are small. When I saw the box it was the first thing that I wanted to make.
