NO sharks that attack people should not be destroyed!
Firstly...
We should not destroy them because they attacked someone because they still have a life to live and they may have a family. And it is just not right to kill an animal; they should not be harmed because they are angry. Humans look like seals and they eat seals so they attack you. It's part of life so deal with it.
Secondly,
Just because if you kill it you could use it as food it’s still illegal to kill a shark and eat it and if you have permission or something then sure go ahead but remember it not OK to harm the animals think about all the other animals watching you shoot or stab the shark because it harms you.
Thirdly
Also we shouldn't kill them because they could be protected and if you kill them you may have to pay a fine or kill a protected shark. It's illegal And I bet you don’t want the police after you. Quick fact, did you know that 470 sharks are endangered and 2.4 percent are Critically Endangered, 3.2 percent are Endangered, 10.3 percent are Vulnerable, and 14.4 percent are Near Threatened. : )
In conclusion, I wouldn't kill a shark just because it harmed you. So please don’t harm it if it harms you.
Tawaki / Fiordland Crested Penguin Report
This is an report on the Fiordland Crested penguin
Habitat
They mostly live in fiordland, where few people see them. If you visit Milford sound, look out for one whizzing across the water! Tawaki also live on Stewart Island; they nest near lush, coastal rainforest under tree roots and boulders.
Appearance
Fiordland crested penguins have dark blue-grey/black bodies which turn brown when approaching moult, darker on the head. A broad yellow eyebrow striped crest,which starts at the nostril and extends well past the eye, drooping down the neck; 3-6 whitish stripes on the cheeks are displayed when agitated.
What do they eat
This is their main meal cephalopods, crustaceans, and fish squid, octopus, and krill. They eat this because it has the nutrients that they need to survive.
Behaviour
Fiordland penguins are nocturnal animals. These birds are extremely timid and shy. During the nighttime hours, the penguins are usually active on land. During the day, however, the animals stay in their nesting sites, where they hide from intruders.
Life Cycle
This penguin can live to 10 and 20 years old.
Threats
These are the penguins' threats: Pests such as possums, rats, feral cats and stoats compete with our native bird life for food and habitat. They can eat the eggs and young and attack the adult penguins. The main pests in Fiordland are stoats, ferrets, weasels, Norway rats, ship rats, mice, possums, cats, red deer and sometimes pigs.
In conclusion
I think that these animals are quite fascinating in their own way so we should take care of them. By Danica.

Just like everyone else
This week my reading group have been reading a book called Just like everyone else written by Lona McNaughton. The story is about a girl called Zoe and she is deaf so she uses sign language to speak to other people.
In the book her friends and Teachers learnt how to speak sign language and know they can have conversations in sign language with her. What I found interesting about this book is that most people that are deaf speak sign language using their eyes and hands to speak to other people.
Some people that are deaf can not hear other people properly like Zoe. For most of the time when she’s in class. Zoe gets help from a special Teacher of the Deaf or a professional interpreter. But there’s also a roster of
In conclusion I think that sign language is very important to the Deaf and other people that know how to sign a lot of words.
THE END.
