Cats are better than dogs!

I strongly believe that cats are better than dogs!

In my opinion, I think that cats are better than dogs because cats are cute at all times!  Dogs are not cute because they always have their tongue sticking out, which is also quite annoying!!! When a kitten is born and if you walk anywhere it will just keep following behind you and it is super cute!!

Another reason, is they are really good company, when I feel lonely or have no one to play with, my cat will always want to play. Dogs always are mostly outside so they might be muddy.  Cats are also really cute when they do rolypolys. Some cats are so clever that they can do forward rolls too!

Furthermore, if you have just watched a horror movie  and you are really scared your cat will come and sleep with you. As I already said dogs are too big to sleep with you.They can also keep you really warm especially in the winter because cats if they lay on a spot they lay on it for ages and that's why it makes your bed so warm.

To support my argument that cats are better than dogs here are some things: Cats are more cleaner, they don’t smell and also don’t make a big mess. Generally a lot quieter, having a dog you have to get up early and take your dog for a walk, but I don’t have to walk my cat.  

I strongly believe that cats are better than dogs!

Polly the Polar Bear

On Monday We had Mrs Hinde as our teacher and for writing she showed us a video about a pig called Ormie The Pig. We could write a story about any animal we wanted to so here is my story about a Polar Bear.

Polly was so hungry after her sleep she needed a good juicy fish so she started to look around in the ice. Poor Polly had to break the ice with her arm so that she could see if there were any fish. She kept on looking for a long time, finally there was a fish.

Her mother had said that since she was still a little polar bear she had to ask her mum before she could eat a fish, but Polly did not care to ask her mum, because she was too hungry and her mum was far away.

She used her arm and tried to break the ice so she could have her fish. But then there was a problem, the ice was very hard to break for Polly. Polly was going to ask her mum but she did not want to because her mum was too far away. Polly started to think of some ideas.

Number One was to get some water from the river and put it on that ice so it could melt but that was a big fail. Polly could not think of some more ideas, then she finally thought of an idea. The second idea she that she thought  was to get her friends. Her friend's names were, Holly and Molly and Jolly. They all got together and got two sticks each and they banged them so hard that they broke the sticks but the ice still did not break.

Polly was so hungry that she got her arm and just banged it on the ice and suddenly the ice broke. "Yeah!!" said her friend loudly. Polly could not believe it, so Jolly picked up the fish and she gave it to Polly.
