This week My reading group has been working on these two activities these are mine. the story is call "The Subantarctic Islands" the story is by Giselle Clarkson. Hope you enjoy :)

Main idea/Title

The subantarctic Islands

Introduction 

You are killing all of the animals on the subantarctic Islands, Our subantarctic Islands are home to many rare and wonderful species. It’s an incredible privilege to have these islands in our care ,- But a HUGE responsibility too.

Argument 1

Firstly Even though the subantarctic Islands are a long way from us, small decisions we make have an impact on Environment there. Like the lid of a milk bottle: I wonder how it got to Campbell island, one of the most pristine and beautiful places in the world. Could it have come from my bathroom?

 

Argument 2

Secondly Some believe that Pollution on the Island, in the sea or in the air begins and ends with us. Because the flora and fauna of the subantarctic Islands are so suited to their natural habitat, any sudden change could spell the end for many of them. Climate change is a serious risk for many of the subantarctic Islands and the ecosystems.

Argument 

In my opinion there’s now where else in the whole world quite like the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands. Their location and isolation make them absolutely one of a kind. The plants and animals that live on the subantarctic Islands are as unique as their habitat. Many of them are endangered and endemic species. Each group of the islands has many of its own species. Such as these: The Snares Island Tomtit, The Antipodes Island parakeet, The Campbell Island Teal, The Auckland Island Weta, The Bounty Island Shag, All of these animals are important to the environment.

Conclusion

In conclusion I think that the Government should protect and take care of the Subantarctic Islands. We also need to protect the sea animals for the sake of mother nature and the Environment. This argument was written by Danica.

NO GIRLS ALLOWED

This week my reading group have been reading NO GIRLS ALLOWED this story was written by Victor Rodger. For this story we had to make a letter to the organisers of the Rugby tournament we also had to make an 'Agree or Disagree' document, these are mine. Hope you enjoy :)

NO GIRLS ALLOWED

 

Dear organisers of the Rugby tournament.
 Riley should be allowed to play rugby, just because she’s a girl doesn't mean she’s not allowed to play rugby with her friend’s. It’s just not fair, it's supposed to be fun, but some people just take it too seriously. Some people live their lives to be able to play in a world cup or just a game of rugby.

 So I think that she should be allowed to play a game of rugby with her friends. Her Dad had played professionally so had her Aunty Tiff. Her brothers Cashel and Archie were keen half backs, and Riley had been in mixed teams since she was five, playing with boys twice her size. She could take care of herself. One day, she was going to coach in New York just like her Aunty Tiff. 
 

In conclusion I think she should be able to play the rugby game by Danica.
