Speeches
Hi, my name is Zana and I'm going to be telling you why my cat Mittens is an important part of my family. Mittens is 9 years old with green eyes and we call him Mittens because he's black with white mittens. We've had him for 5 years. Mittens is a male cat. He's also really silly like when I scrunch up a piece of paper and throw it at him he attacks it like it's a mouse. Mittens always hides in dark places like under the cars and under the house. Once he got stuck in my dad's shed for about 3 days. Mittens is not at all quiet. But once when we took him to the vets he was so loud.
Mittens sleeps on my bed on the blankets next to me and in the middle of the night I heard a weird sound and I realised it was Mittens massaging the blankets while purring. He also sleeps in mum's room on a dark red soft cushion. He also sleeps outside and in the morning he meows louder than the rooster next door. In the morning I see him stretching on the door to come in.
Mittens is a fussy eater so he won’t eat steak, lamb or pork so we feed him cat biscuits. He also looks at the eels and waits for an opportunity to catch one. We also give him meat with jelly looking stuff in it but he only eats the jelly stuff. He will also catch baby mice and if we are away for long enough he will catch birds. When he finishes his food he always meows for more.
Sometimes mittens play’s tag with me but when I'm in he just comes to me. He also goes on his back and if I don’t rub his tummy he hits me with his paw. Mittens also hops on the tramp with me and he doesn’t let me do anything on the tramp apart from doing stuff for him.

Mothers day
WALT: Write a Mothers Day letter
I think my mum should be chosen because she helps
me when I'm stuck. Every day when I get home she
makes yum as dinner and takes me to netball. She
lets me do anything at home, and she cheers me
up when I'm sad. My Mum is also really kind, she’s
always there when I need her. She gives me ideas
for my learning all the time. Mum is always there to
support me and she takes me to my friends house.
