my speech

 oday we did a speech about what we wrote i did one but it deleted itself so yeah heres my new one.


Basically Amphibians are toads frogs and stuff.But here are some reasons of why we should not keep them in captivity.



There are many reasons to keep amphibians in captivity including for purposes of exhibition, education, conservation, preservation, and for hobby and personal interests. Historically, zoos and aquariums have included amphibians within their herpetology programs and displays; however, as they become more conservation-oriented (versus the menageries of the past), zoos and aquariums will have to alter their collections to reflect their resources and capacities to carry out this work (Rabb, 2004). The financial and spatial requirements necessary to meet conservation goals and propagate critically endangered amphibians are significantly less than those required for larger species (e.g., elephants). The Amphibian has estimated that approximately 500 species of amphibians are in need of carefully managed ex situ help; however, today likely fewer than 10 species are in managed programs.



There are many species of Amphibians but my favourite is the fire salamander the fire salamander is an amphibians species. I think it is really interesting because of the way it acts and looks.

The song we did in class:)

On Wensday the 5th of Aug Miss Alan and Miss Bremner made us do this thing where we have had to write down our feelings about this song here is what I thought of. I was walking down the street and then all of a sudden I heard this awful song but for some reason it reminded me of the time I cut my leg and my back open IDKY it just did.I’m pretty sure it was that boring that I thought of that but for some reason it felt weird like I could feel the pain weird and I was having visions of how it happened and looking at the bones and the meat .I also had another feeling this other feeling was annoyingness because I had heard that song so many times on forest gump that it was just so annoying.You see I have seen forest gump so many times I dont even know how many times I have watched it.


It now reminds me of the feather from the intro of forrest gump and it falling, and when I think of that it reminds me of these dreams that I had like a long time ago it was a dream were I walked chest puffed up into a hay bale and there were all these, pigs in the middle of knowere but for some reason a loud voice came out of knowere and it said you have been chosen to be eliminated for varieos reasons and a laser shot through my skin and I would suddenly wake up and it was school time. That was all about the dream that I always had.


This now concludes me to the end of my feelings about this piano song by:Alan Silvestri so yeah here’s a link to the video of the song.

Drama poem

DRAMA POEM

We have been doing poems in drama about our life and us changing

As I walk away
Tears aren't on my face
broken, blue, dark
Now I just choose
Is it fair
Of course not
But only in my oppinion
I’m just over this
It is done
My dicisions
I chose
I don’t regret them


We've played games
Turned against at times
There’s no wishes to wait 
anymore
It's not fair
My disappearance
Just smile, you have to stop


No one is going to take the pain away
Because you've been lying to me
You have to pay
So just stay away


Read this all alone
Somewhere no one knowone is
All depressed because of you
Now, what can I do
We never love to see pairs
Lost, you runaway
And who knows just why
I can’t cry
No one will take me way
From my dissisions 
Mother we are done
