Persuasive writing ~ Why animals should be kept in zoos

This term for writing Totara 1 is working on persuasive writing. For this piece of writing we could either do animals should/not be kept in zoos or animals should/not be kept in circuses.


 Why animals SHOULD be kept in zoos.


I strongly believe animals should be kept in zoos. Zoos are a great educational source, protect animals from getting endangered or extinct and give animals an enclosure close to their natural habitat.


Zoos are a great educational source teaching humans of every age. They often have a zookeeper explaining each of the animals. They also sometimes have billboards that have facts about the animals on them. As well as telling people facts zoos also inform humans about the dangers for these animals in the wild.


Zoos help the animals from getting endangered or extinct. Zoos help this by protecting them from hunters and poachers. They also have breeding programs designed for the animal. As well as this they make sure the animals live in a friendly environment with health checks. They have enclosures which are like their natural habitat.


Animals in zoos have a replica of their natural habitat. Most zoos are spectacular. And I mean this in the way that they have huge enclosures with lots of room for their animals. Zoos also help the animals where their natural habitats and foods have disappeared. An example of this is where zoos helped the koalas in the Australia bush fires.


Zoos are amazing for both animals and humans. Teaching humans about animals, helping the animals stay alive and giving them a close to natural habitat.

Calendar Art

 AT this time of year we do calendar art. This year the Totara teachers decided to do it on aboriginal art. This is art made up of dots. To get the dots for the inside of my turtle I used tooth picks and for the background I used cotton buds.

Alphabet objects

This was one of the choice activities. For this activity you had to find something around the house that starts with every letter of the alphabet. I have got everything on this list except for the xylophone.
