Te Wiki o te Reo Maori

It was Maori Language Week - Te Wiki o te Reo Maori. We decided to make a book using Book Creator to show people how to pronounce Maori words. I chose to do mine on numbers. It was easy to choose the backgrounds because there weren't that many to choose from. It was tricky finding out how to pronounce waru and tekau because I kept forgetting how to say them.

Animals Should Not Be Kept In Cages,  Zoos Or Circuses 

Would you like to be kept in a cage,whipped, rely on humans to survive, be taken away from your habitat, even taken away from your family and friends? No you wouldn't! I strongly believe it is cruel to keep animals in cages,zoos and circuses.

Animals are losing their ability to hunt. Tourists feed the animals junk food and the animals are getting obese I think this is cruel and mean. Sometimes they get heart disease and diabetes. 

Secondly they are taken away from their habitat. Lack of freedom means their muscles shutdown. Some countries can be too hot or too cold for the animals in zoos. Some polar bears have to lie on plastic Icebergs instead of real Icebergs.

Thirdly the animals get taken away from their family and friends. Babies are taken away from their mums. Elephants are social creatures and they get sad when they are not in a herd. Elephants will be depressed and sometimes even die if they are not in a group.
