speech
Did you know that over 100 MILLION animals are burned, crippled and poisoned in U.S labs every year!
If you keep on listening you will agree with me that animal testing should be banned. In order to convince you I will tell you what the products tested are and on what animal they are tested on as well as why we do it. Lastly I will tell you the process and effect of the testing as well as how we could stop it.
I am going to tell you what products get tested on what animals and why we test on animals.
Drugs get tested on rats plus they use skin products on them as well. Also sprays, chemicals and drugs all get tested on dogs.
Toxic studyies and saftey tests are done on hampsters.
These are only a few of the horrible tourture.
So why do we test on animals??
We test on animals to see if it is safe for human use.
I will now tell you about the process and effect of animal testing.
Firstly they keep animals in cages away from their homes and they are harmed even though they are innocent. To add cosmetics, they either shave their hair and rub it on or they inject it with a needle. Sometimes they have to dissect the animal to see what happens. Sometimes they even have to forcefeed drugs and food.
I am going to tell you how we can stop this whole practice. Firstly you can protest by sending companies who animal test horrible letters. Also we can tell others by emailing and phoning friends. Also we can find out what alternative products we can use and we must stop buying the ones that are tested on animals.
For these reasons, I strongly believe we should stop this inhumane and gruesome practice of murdering innocent creatures. STOP ANIMAL TESTING!

ANZAC poem
ANZAC
People retreated and got shot in the eye
Got battered, got smashed and bashed
In this horrible ambush we fought bravely
But we could not beat them because they were not very sweet
We only ate beet which hurt our feet.
Lest we forget

holiday writing
On Wednesday Zachary came to my
house for a playdate. First Zachary got here and his dad left. Then we went
downstairs to play skylanders; that day
I got a new skylanders named Night Mare he is a centaur with a big black sword. Then 20 minutes later my
mum said "we are going to go roller skating"; when we got there we got our skates and then we got on the rink . I fell over 4 times, we had lots of fun. Then we
went back to my house to play micro battles; we were in the blue team, we were both archer kit. We collected dirt and then we piled up to the top of the tower and shot 2 stacks of arrows, it took so long but we were smashed by wooden swords and leather Armour which did 2+ damage and lots more health which destroyed us in seconds making the green team win with 4 people still alive( the whole team survived ) after 16 games ( we won 14 of them in the blue). Then Zachary's dad came to pick him up and take him back home. That night I went to my first rugby practice.
thanks,Archie

My writing goal
Hi!
I have a writing goal to share with you, the goal is to edit.
I can do this by looking back in my writing to look for mistakes, like not using pubctuation or not spelling words right.
I can also check if my work makes sense.
I chose this goal because of I don't do this very much and I think it will suit me.

On Wednesday Ms Masters found an eastern Indian parrot. It bit people's fingers, it was very playful and we called it spider bird because it liked to climb on the roof of the cage. Here are some pictures.
