I think cats should be allowed in new zealand

I think cats should be allowed in New Zealand because half of New Zealand has cats as their family pet.

Firstly cats are mostly harmless because they like pats, scratches and cuddles. They also just want a lot of love. Sometimes they go stray because they don't get the love they want. For example my cat Pearl just sits around mostly on mum and dads bed just waiting for us to get home and come up stairs to give her some loving. Pearl loves scratches.

Secondly it would be unfair to all the cat lovers in New Zealand if the cats had to be taken away and be sent or put down somewhere. Also they are cute and cuddly. Cats kill pests like rats and mice that might kill more native things than cats.

Thirdly cats are cute and they are more likely to be cute and cuddly then stray and bad at playing. Also they are very nice. Cats don't bite as much as dogs do and how many cat attacks have you heard about on TV lately?

That is why I think cats should stay in new zealand.

Prawn Park

Prawn fishing

In the first week of the holidays I went prawn fishing.It was a calm Thursday. Huka prawn park is in Taupo. I went with my mum my dad my sister and me.

First we went on a tour.On the tour we got to feed prawns and learn how to fish.Then we got our rods and bait and started to fish.After a while I caught a prawn.

Then we waited and waited and waited.Then I caught another prawn then my sister caught one then my dad caught one.Me and dad were neck and neck.But then I got my third.

When it was time to stop we had six prawns all together.Then we cooked them then we ate them.At the end of the day we got six in six hours. But it was still fun.

Disney Land Description

Disney land

I see fantastic fast furious rides zoom around the track at light speed. I see people eating chips, burgers and cheero's watching a starwar show. They invite kids to battle Darth Vader and Darth Vader loses every battle. When they invite the last kid up he dies until the next show. 

On the Nemo ride I see lots colourful fish they look as colorful as a rainbow. I see Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Daisy Goofy and how could anyone forget Pluto. Mickey mouse looks cool.

I smelt a scent of sweet sugary silky cheeros. They smell as good as a donuts with sprinkles. I smell water that smelt like the ocean. I smelt oil from the rides as they slip past so silently.

I touch the water it feels soft like sand silky like spider silk.I felt the ride carts. They felt comfortable with their leather chair feel great. Mickey mouse feels soft like a teddy bear.

I hear roller coasters brushing past my ear whoosh whoosh whoa. The people screaming in delight of the roller coaster.

I feel sick as I go round a loopty loop on a fantastic and fast roller coaster.

In the holidays I went to the farm. Mum and dad drove me and my sister down.It took us 1 hour and 15 minutes.We went down because mum and dad had to go to a wedding in ahope and they had to work the next week.At the farm I did lots of cool things like going to the hot pools, mini golf, rode motorbikes, played with a friend, and learnt how to drive a tracktors.The day after we got there I went to my friends house which is next door.His name is Thomas.We rode motorbikes together we played in the pool together we even milked cows together.Then I went home.The next day I watched tv and played PS3. The game that I played was rugby world cup 2011.I won the world cup.Then I went for a motorbike ride.I went top speed and top speed in top gear.The next day me and poppa went rabbit hunting.It was as hot as hollywood. I don't know why I brought my thermal. We shot nothing though. So we walked back.Then we had lamb chops for dinner.Hmmmmmmmmm.The next day poppa tought me how to drive a tracktor.I said "this is going to help when I learn how to drive a car".On Friday the following week mum and dad came down for duck shooting. Me, dad and his friend Wal shot 8 ducks. The funny thing was that the wild cats ate one of the ducks.
