Big Ted 
Big Ted,
As yellow as the sun gleaming.
Sits on top of my bed,
With all my other teddies,
But somehow he stands out.
My bedroom is silent,
But I can hear the faint, summer breeze,
When I cuddle up to him.
I feel warm and welcome!

My Dog Misty 
Misty ate a mouse and when we got out of bed she was hardly breathing. When Mum got back from work Misty was still breathing and she was weeing everywhere. Mum took her to the vet but the vet could not do anything because Misty was too sick. She was dying.
When we got back from school we cried. We buried her and she has a plant that flowers, next to her. Dad put a rose plant in front of her.

Message From a Mouse
1. Go to the marvelous supermarket and buy one dozen super-sized pieces of cheese.
2. Don't buy one dozen mouse traps because I can see your every movement. If affirmative, I will vaporize.
3. Please don't spread the word about me being evil. I will outsmart you and taunt you with Mankind. I will see you at the house, slave!

Do Cane Toads Make Good Pets?
Some people think that cane toads would make good pets. I think that is incredibly ridiculous because they are spreading, they are poisonous and they are just too warty and horrid looking!!!
Firstly, they are spreading all over Australia and destroying our animals, waters and plants as they go! If they keep spreading, we will have no beautiful Australia left. If you just keep breeding them as pets, they will spread even more!
Also they are dangerously poisonous and are killing our native animals such as quolls, crocodiles and goannas. Imagine if your pet cane toad was hopping around the yard and your beloved and special dog or cat tried to eat it and then died overnight and it`s all your fault!
Don't forget that they are horribly ugly, warty and fat little creatures! You don`t enter cane toads in best looking toad or in the show. That is something for a dog, cat, budgie or a pony!
Cane toads are shocking things to own! So if you have a cane toad pet, you should be ashamed! They are ruining our environment! So do Australia a favour and if you find a cane toad, put it in a plastic bag and freeze it! Thankyou!
