In case you wonder what pet to buy - a cat or a dog - here are more reports by year 4 ESOL students that might be helpful:
Do you need help picking a pet?
My report will help
you choose the right pet
for you. Kitties are
fluffy little animals, playful little balls.
Puppies are so cute
and furry, but when they grow up, they are hard to look after.
Dogs need
registration , leads, more food than a cat,collars and toys. Cats need not much
food, litter boxes and a bell on their collar.
So what pet should
you pick, which one is more expensive?
If you want a
dog you need to think about which one needs more work. If you are a
busy person, a dog is not for
you.
Let’s think about
Dogs If you have a fluffy dog you really need to brush and comb them. You have
to wash them, They're not cats for they can be very fluffy AND
dirty. You also have to walk them(well pick up poop), feed them and play with
them. Now let’s talk about cats. Cats are much easier to look after. You
don’t need to walk them, wash them or pick up poop. But you have to clean their
litter box and maybe play with them. Oh yeah! Please, feed them.
Give them a healthy
amount of food.
So now you understand
which one is more expensive and harder to look after.
If you are a busy
person a cat is for you, if you want a loyal friend then a dog is for you.dogs
are very playful
And cute. Cats are
cute too, cuddly and playful(sometimes). A cat can sleep 20 hours a day
so if you leave your house for a long time a cat is a perfect pet for you.
I think you
should get a cat because cats cost less than dogs, they need less work
and less company.
By Vika
Have you thought about what animal you
are going to buy, a cat or a dog?
Dogs are playful and also adorable and
a good family pet. Cats can be very cute and playful and adorable and
cuddly. My report will help you to choose what is the better pet for you.
How much do dogs and cats cost?
If you buy a dog you will have to register them.
The initial adoption fee for cats and
kittens is often less than that of dogs. Cat food, cat toys and other cat
supplies are also generally cheaper. Cats need a lot of toys to keep them busy.
They are less expensive.
Did you know that cats and dogs are a
lot of hard work? Dogs and cats have to eat about 2 times a day .
Sometimes they want to eat in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Cats clean themselves, so you will
rarely have to bathe them. Cats don’t need to be taken outside in the middle of
the night as they have a litter box. Cats can be left alone longer than dogs as
they don't need to go outside. Cats make great pets for people that work all
day or that live in an apartment. Dogs can be trouble sometimes in your home.
Cats are fun to play with and very
cuddly and fluffy. They are good company, very funny and adorable. Cats
are wonderful pets and will love you forever. Dogs are very good company they
love to play with you. Dogs will always protect you when you are ln
trouble. Dogs will be your friend forever.
I think if you work a lot I will
suggest that you buy a cat for yourself. I think if you don't work a lot
you can buy a dog for yourself.
By Ashleigh
I think that cats are the cheaper pets,
because dogs cost way more money than cats. Dogs need registrations, but cats don’t
need one.
If you don’t stay home that often, you
should buy a cat. It is fine, if you go. But if you buy a dog, your dog will
howl a lot and your neighbours will complain about it.
Also you don’t need to clean your cat,
but you have to clean its litter box and play with it. All in all dogs are way
more work than cats. You have to walk them and pick up their poop. When they
are dirty, you have to clean them.
But dogs are super good company. They
play with you and look after you, when you are sad. When cats are getting
older, they like to sleep more often. Sometimes your cat chooses if it wants to
come and play with you or not.
My opinion is that looking after a cat
is way easier than looking after a dog.
By Cherry
Have you ever wanted a cat or a dog? Well
In this text you will find out if you want a cat or a dog. Cats are like little
bodys of fuzzballs. But dogs are really cute and good company if you're alone.
Now I will tell you what to buy for a
cat. You will need a litter box, some toys, food and a bed. A dog owner
has to buy water, food, a bed and dog registration. Registrations for
dogs
are really important and expensive.
We need to walk a dog with a pooper
scooper to pick up the poop. We need to take out a puppy several times in the
night, so they can have a pee. When they are excited, they want to play. Both
cats and dogs need to be fed. Some cats poop outside, but some cats have a
litter box that needs to be cleaned. You need to play with your cat.
Dogs are really good company, because they
really want to play with you. It feels like they never stop. Cats mostly sleep
a lot, so you won’t be able to play with them when they sleep.
I think a cat is better because a cat
owner does not have to pay a registration fee and they are really expensive.

Room 16a rocks: Thank you for your hard work at home! There is so much learning happening - Wow!
My Planet Report by Zachary
Planet:Jupiter
Introduction
Did you know that
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Also Jupiter has 79 moons -
Earth only has one! In this report I looked at facts on Jupiter, this
includes similarities and differences to Earth, what it looks like and how it
got its name.
My name is Zachary and this is my report on Jupiter.
Appearance
The planet Jupiter is
a gas giant. It is made out of helium and hydrogen, the other gas giants are
Satun, Uranus and Neptune. Guess what! The planet Jupiter has red, blue, brown
and white coloured bands from its gas. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.
The radius of Jupiter is 69.911 kilometers; this is the distance from the
middle of Jupiter to it’s outside.
Exploration and
Discovery
Jupiter was named
after the Roman god of thunder. Space probes have visited Jupiter; the first
space probe was Pioneer 10 in 1973. `Because Jupiter is so bright it has been
seen for years and was not discovered by anyone, However it was first seen by
telescope in 1610 by Galileo.
Similarities and
differences to Earth
Jupiter is 11 times
bigger than Earth. Which means if Earth was a ping pong ball Jupiter would be
like a beach ball. Jupiter isn’t solid because of its gas and Earth is
solid. Did you know Jupiter has rings and Earth doesn't. These rings are made
of ice, rock and dust. Like Earth Jupiter has storms but they are much stronger
than Earths. Because the winds blow at 360 km/h,like a Formula 1 car going
around a race track. In pictures there is a big blue spot on Jupiter, this is
the magnetic fields they are 11 x stronger than Earths.
Conclusion; I felt excited to
learn about Jupiter. Because I found interesting facts on the gas
giant Jupiter. So I have completed my report and I hope you learned
something new. Here are some pictures for you to look at.
Outstanding, Zachary!!

Look at the work our dinosaur experts have been doing. Paleontologists in the making ...
Thank you, Mrs Ayers, for sending in these fantastic pieces of work: Dinosaur reports and a volcano.
Samuel and Gabriel have written informative pieces and illustrated them beautifully:
Wihan was inspired to write a fantastic story about a paleontologist. Fantastic, Wihan!! I LOVE your title.
A friend was wondering what pet to buy: a cat or a dog? I am sure my year 3 and 4 ESOL students will help her choose!
My report is about cats and dogs. I am writing this report to help you pick what pet to choose. Kittens look like very cute balls of fur and are different colors. Some Kittens are skinny and some are fat. Puppies are cute and cuddly.Some are small and some are big. They are different colors as well as cats. Have you ever thought about what pet is better for you?
Dogs cost more than cats because they
need a registration fee. Dogs and cats need to go to the vets. Both cats and
dogs need toys, food and water.
Let's think about how much work they
are. Dogs need you to pick up poop and you need to train them and walk them.
Cats need you to clean the litter box and sometimes you have to brush
them.
Dogs always want to play with you and
cuddle with you. Dogs are loyal friends and they also can protect you if you
are in danger. Cats want to play with you if they feel like it but people like
cuddling them. It is very soothing to pat a cat and sometimes they can roll up
into fluffy balls of fur. Dogs and cats are both adoraball with nice
little hearts.
I think you should get a cat because it
will be easier to have at home and you will be able to do more work. But if you
don’t have that much work I would prefer you to get a dog.
By Andrei from 16a
With the help of this report I am going
to help you choose what is the better pet for you. Kittens are playful and when
they roll up into balls, they are soft balls of fur. Puppies are cuddly and
steal your heart with their cute faces and playful, funny games. Have you ever asked
yourself what would be the better pet for you: a cat or a dog?
Dogs cost more than cats, because dogs
eat more and the registration fee costs a lot.
Cats cost less, but you still have to
pay for what cats need. For example cats need
food, water, a collar, a bed,
vaccinations and vet visits.
How much work are they? You need to
walk dogs, train them, play with them, wash them and pick up their poop.
You have to play with cats, and you
have to clean their litter box.
I think dogs are the best company,
because when you want to play with them dogs
will play with you. Not like cats
because they think you are the pet, so the cat chooses
if they want to play with you.
I think dogs are good pets for people
that do less work away from home. In my opinion cats would be better pets for
people that do more work away from home. Cats sleep a lot, more than dogs,
because they like to play.
By Damon, room 17
Cats and dogs
Have you ever
wondered if you should choose a cat or a dog?
Dogs are cute like
teddy bears and very playful and curious but sometimes they need a lot of work.
Cats are playful, little and very sleepy animals.
This report is
going to help you to choose the right pet.
If you want a dog
you need more money to pay for the registration feed leeds, food, collar, vet,
bed, toys. The cat’s owner needs to pay for toys bed litter box, the
litter and the toys ,the vet ,food and an leed with an bell on it.
Dogs are a lot of
work. You have to groom the dog nearly every day and walk it nearly every hour,
pick up poo, train the dog and play with him. You have to play cuddle games and
vacuum your house nearly every day if you have a fluffy dog.
If you want a cat,
you need to pay for the cat food and toys that look like a fish on a fishing
rod. You need to make a bed for the cat and pay for the vet and you need a
collar with a bell because it catches
birds.
I think a cat would
be better for you because you have a lot of work so that's why a dog would be
lonely.
