My Argument Should Homework be made compulsory?

Should Homework be made compulsory in school?

I believe that Homework should be made compulsory in schools because it will help you when you are older and it will help you improve your grades. Homework helps you learn new things.

Homework helps you with moving up Reading and Writing levels. It also helps you when you are sitting an AsTTle test. Homework helps students learn new skills in all subjects like Reading, Writing and Maths. Also it will help you to make big improvements in your learning. If you do your homework you will find sitting tests easy because you will know a lot of information  on the subject that your test is on.

Homework builds a partnership with the parents. This gives an opportunity for the parents to get involved in their child's learning. Homework allows parents to help their  child with their learning and it lets the parents see what they are studying at school. Some parents do not work so they will be able to help their child with his/her learning.

Homework helps children gain new knowledge at school and home. If some children are not that smart homework will help them to become smarter. When you get a job the information that you learnt at school will come in handy. Also at university it will help you with your studies. Homework is good for your brain as you learn new information.

Overall I think that homework should be compulsory as it boosts children’s learning. It has helped me perform well when I sit tests in class.

My Speech by Caitlin

My Speech - Should animals be treated equally with humans

I think that animals should be treated equally with humans because they are living creatures that need looking after. Almost everyday animals like cats and dogs are found in dangerous places because  their owners do not feel the need to look after them anymore. Animals are abused nearly everyday and it isn’t very nice. There are different kinds of animals like Cows, Bunnies, Guinea Pigs, Polar Bears, Lions, Tigers, Cats and Dogs.

Animals have hearts as well that is why we should treat them equally.

Some dogs don’t get dog houses so on cold winter nights they have to sleep outside. Also some cats have loving homes where the owner looks after them and other owners just let their cat walk off and it won’t know which way to come back. People treat their animals like they don’t care about them. When people get an animal like a dog, cat or a fish it seems exciting at the time but then when they have had them for a long period of time they start to ignore their needs. Humans like us get treated nicely but we are not thinking about the animals and how they feel. No one or thing should be treated that way because it will hurt their feelings

According to dosomething.org 3-4 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there are not enough people to adopt them. Animals can be found in Zoo’s. They get looked after very well and never get treated badly when they are in a Zoo. Animals are given food and water to drink because the zookeepers try their best to keep them alive and healthy. Animals in a zoo get fresh air and they get to see people walking past them.

Animals need to be protected because they do not know what lies ahead. Dangerous things can happen to pets and you may not see them again. They can get run over or even stolen from their homes and family. Some people just think about themselves and nothing else.

Animals all need food and water to survive. A lot of pet owners ignore their pets when they should be looking after their pets. When you buy a family pet you commit to looking after it and giving it all the love it needs to have  a good life.

The Royal SPCA assist animals with problems so they can help them when they are dying and need to bring them back to health. The SPCA adopts animals out and takes care of them because they are willing to spend their time looking after a helpless little pet. Most of the animals that you find in the SPCA are usually Cats, Dogs, Birds like parrots and more. They also have Bunnies. The bunnies get all the food and water it needs. SPCA takes the animals out of the cage sometimes to take the animals for a walk because it is important for them to get exercise.

To sum it all up I think that animals should be treated equally because they are really nice to play with and fun to have them as a family pet.

My recount on Des Hunt by Caitlin

One cold winter morning Room 5, Room 7 and Room 8 went to the theatre to see Des Hunt. Des Hunt is New Zealand author who enjoys doing Physics and Chemistry. He lives in the Coromandel penisual with his dog Puku. He use to be a Chemistry and Physics teacher. His mascot is a cat Puffy. He told us that puffy was real but he got ran over at the age of 16. Dez Hunt was born in Palmerston North. Des Hunt described to us what his books were about. I was amazed by all the experiments that he showed us. My favourite was when he poured these chemicals into a jar filled with water then he put a light behind it. It created a mini whirlpool. I enjoyed the Des Hunt visit.
