Welcome Mr Lane to Room 8

Kia ora everyone! I am Tony, a student at the University of Canterbury doing a post graduate diploma in primary teaching. I am doing a professional placement for the next 5 weeks under the guidance of Mr. Atherton. I am really excited about being here and hope to get immersed and learn a lot in the coming weeks. Thank you very much to the staff here, for letting me be a part of the school.

Here is a little bit of info about me. I have a Bachelor and Postgraduate degree in Science. I had been teaching Science in Japan and Korea since 2002. I met my future wife in Korea just after the FIFA world cup. My wife and I married in Ottawa 2005 and now have 2 kids (William our 19 month old boy and Tessa our 11 week old girl). Stephanie and I moved back to New Zealand for a life style change and now live in St Martins. On a side note, I am still trying to convince my wife that Christchurch usually doesn’t get this much rain!

Persuassive Writing - Nicholas O

Animals in Captivity
In my opinion animals should be in captivity because they will be safe.

Firstly babies get to know their animals and if there were no zoos nobody would know about animals and nobody would protect them.

Secondly animals can get bored and sad because they have no company.

Thirdly there is lots of area and they can run and jump and have fun. If they didn’t have that they would be very sad.

In conclusion I think animals should be in captivity

Why we should save endangered animals.
In my opinion we should save the endangered animals.

Firstly some animals are quite useful like cows because they give us lots of milk , butter and cream. Also because their needs to be one or more animals in the world of each kind.

Secondly lizards and frogs are very handy because they eat pests that we don’t like. Hens are handy because they give us eggs.

Thirdly we should save endangered animals so that the little kids are able to see them and learn all about them and get an education.

In conclusion I think we should save endangered animals because some

Animals are really handy.
