Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Homes by Arlo

Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Homes?

In my opinion I think they should because…

1.  They could get trapped in fishing nets if they were out
in the wild.

2.  If they were in the wild and got hurt no one would know
but if they were in an aquarium people would know and get
help.

3.  If people were going to get dolphins and put them in an
aquarium the best  way to get them would be to get them
in a school so they can be with their family.

4.  If someone wanted to study dolphins and get more
information about them, they would probably have to kill
them but if they were at an aquarium it would be easier
to study them.

Our Trip to Te Tuhi-I AM NZ

AOTEAROA A SPECIAL PLACE TO LIVE. 
We added NZ symbols to our art.

Giraffes Can't Dance

We enjoyed the story Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. It taught us to understand that we can all do things that others don't expect us to We can have a growth mindset and give everything a go even if we don't achieve it yet. Our artwork was inspired by the book's illustrator, Guy Parker Rees.
