An otter is the greatest pet on earth to have!!! By Sophia

I think that an otter would be an amazing pet to have because they are so cute and do lots of awesome tricks! Just see if you want an otter as a pet after my three excellent reasons

You know how otters can do pretty cool tricks just like humans.So if you have a swimming pool and you don't use it very often,otter will love it ,it would be a dream come true!An otter would be a very good entertainer for family who are visiting.You might even become famous or rich if people give you money for your otters cool tricks.If your otter is good at its tricks,it might even make it into a circus!If your otter becomes so famous,it might even be on TV shows or even on the news!

Otters are very cute indeed,so that means that they will be cute no matter what.Your otter may be so cute that it will make other owners jealous.Your otter may be so adorable that it might win a prize for...the worlds most cutest animal.Otters are not much different to normal pets so you would treat it exactly the same.Otters are one of the only pets who do amazing tricks in the water,so it would be good to have a pet who is different to all the other pets.

Otters give you company when you are lonely or cant sleep at night.It is very nice to have a pet that will not hurt you or hurt anybody else,so that means that if you get a otter it will not be dangerous.Because otters are very small it will cost less money to pay for food or clothes.Otters are very friendly so that you will always have your pet as a friend.If you lose your soft toy and you cant find it ,you can use your otter!

So pleeeeeease can i have an otter as a pet,i've told you my three reasons you just have to believe me! By Sophia

The dead bird skull show

This is the dead bird skull Me/Tremayne,Quincey and Ved found behind the classrooms when we were putting our lunch boxes back into the cloak bay. I made a cracked peanut hat for it but the sad thing is I lost it. Today/Tuesday we brought it back to school to show it for show and tell. We told them to pass it around so they all can see the bird skull.Some people thought it was creepy looking and the others thought it was cool looking.

Shake your tail feathers dance!

I think that our dance was one of the best dances in the entire show because we pretty much entertained the crowd! I felt nervous and excited at the same time! It was a pity how my dad was not able to watch but I still had a great time! The best part of all was,when we all shook our tail feathers, just like the song said. And that's what made it the best part of the night! By Sophia
