My Pet
My favourite pet is my cat she has ginger fur, I don’t know what type of breed she is.
Her name is Griffin she has green eyes and a pink nose with black dots on it. When she is angry she waves her tail very slowly.
Griffin likes salmon but she hates all other types of fish she eats cat biscuits and jelly meat. She drinks water left lying about.
She runs away a lot sometimes the only way to get Griffin is to give her cat biscuits. If I’m sneaky I can grab her but other times she runs really fast.
She’s not playful and she likes to sleep on my bed because she likes me.
I think cats make great pets because they are really quiet.

My Pet
My favourite pet is my kitten. He is a brown Burmese and his fur is short and soft.
His name is Magnum and he has light green eyes and big ears. His paws are soft underneath. When he is happy he will come and cuddle you.
Magnum likes to eat mince and cat biscuits mixed in with one another.
He is very playful and loves to chase his tail and the dog’s tail. Sometimes Magnum pounces on you and falls asleep. Magnum takes turns at sleeping in our rooms, but he sleeps with me most of the time. He sometimes goes outside as long as someone is outside with him.
I think that Cats are the best because they are very cuddly and loyal.

Writing to Terrorism Experts
Te Maungarongo Maarie e-mailed Richard Barrett to ask him questions about September 11.
Richard Barret's Reply:
Thank you for your enquiry about the terrorist attacks in the United States on 9/11/2001.
1. Were there certain people they wanted to kill? No. The attacks killed random people. But the attack on the Pentagon was designed to hit Defence officials, and the planned attack on the US Capital (the 'plane crashed in Pennsylvania) was intended to hit law makers. It is also possible that this aircraft might have been aimed at the White House in which case the hijackers would have hoped to kill President Bush (although he was not there at that time).
2.Did the terrorists mean to crash? Yes. They intended to hit their targets with the 'planes. They chose long haul flights which they knew would be carrying a lot of fuel and hijacked them soon after take off.
3. Did the terrorists target 9/11 as the day? No. The hijackers chose the day, not Usama bin Laden. This means that they chose a day when everything would be ready, not a day that had been decided by Al-Qaida. The date 9/11 was chosen in August, so not very long before the attacks.

The tramp ( with a pooy sitution)
On Tuesday the 30th of August Room Six and nine people from Room Five went on a tramp at the Westmere walkway.
We finally arrived, the people who sat on the back of the bus emerged out of the bus followed by the middle and then the front.
We stood at the start of the walkway while Mr Waite put us in groups.I got put in Group One, only one of my friends got put in my group, it was Tem.
The hills were gigantic, weirdly shaped, and small it was so tiring. If I drank lots of water I would waste my water so I drank it slowly. From my point of view I was'nt excpecting it to be so hard but kept on walking and dodging cowpats, peew!
It was time for morning tea I had my peach and a few of my chips. Then we carried on, ''Ohhhkk! Mr Waite there's cowpatts everywhere ''.So then he started jumping in the icky poo then Grace started to jump in the poo to, "ewww!" Then he jumped in a big ozey one.
We stoped for lunch, "mmmm" I sat down by Ulani to eat my sandwiches, biscuits, popcorn and to drink some of my water. After that I chatted to friends and played in a stream trying to stop people from building a dam.
On the way back I saw a horse that kept on bucking so I called it Bucky , we carried on walking and waited for the bus to pick us up and it came about 2 minutes later. Off we went back to school.

Westmere Walkway
On the 30th of August all of Room Six went on a walk. We went there to practice for camp. It was a humongous farm.
At the start of thewalk it was raining. Everone had lots of energy. Once we started going up the hill we lost all our energy. It was boring.
Once we had gone half way up the hill we started singing 'Dora the Explorer'. We all started strugling up the hill. When we had finally reached the top of the hill we had morning tea.Climbing the hill was really exhausting
After at least another hour of torturing walking we had lunch. After that everyone was making a dam in the creek. Some people were taking photos. Ethan and I kept climbing up the hill and running down. It was really fun. After that we walked to the street and went back to school on a bus. It was a really astonishing day at the farm.
