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.

Do you think that it is important for children to play outside? Because I do and I think that you should too. Today I'm going to tell you my reasons why it is important for children to play outside.

You will get fit When kids run they get happier, kinder and fitter than their peers. When you're on technology you will get angry like my brother. If you play outside more you’ll live a healthier life.

  

You’ll get strong because all you will be doing is exercising. There’s different types of exercising like practising sports,outside jobs,wheels and stuff that will make you healthy. But inside there's only stuff like technology,inside job’s,playing in your room, writing and reading and that's not going to make you healthy at all.

You can create new games like Jake,Toby and I made up a game called tramp tag.You can add more staff to games.  

now i'm going to tell you Why I like exercising   

I will get a happy life because as I said before if you're on technology you’ll be grumpy. I can learn more outside activities and show them to my friends,teachers and family.I will always have something to do.I will not always be bored and I can spend more time on my tramp,bike and playing with my netball.When im on my technology then it will get annoying like it will say loading,no sinal and barriers and it will come up with heaps of adds but not outside.       

You can do fun adventures and on your adventures you can run,climb,swim and jump.You can also explore on your adventure.If you have a bike or other things with wheels then you can go on it.If you have a pet at home then you can play with it but if you don’t then you can play with your cousins,friends and your siblings and then you won’t be inside in your room having nothing to do.    

And as I said before it is important for kids to be playing outside everyday.
