Were Moving to a Reserve

     A group of black rhinos is getting anew home. Their new home is a reserve in South Africa. The reason they got the new home was to protect specie.  But to make this happen animal charities  made 20 people take down their fences so that the rhinos could roam free and to have calves. Also to make sure that they're not going to be attacked by poachers so they're going to be monitored.

     People are trying to make sure that the rhinos` population increase. 3 reasons that rhinos are endangered are because of drought, flood, and disease.Another reason is poaching. In the 1970s-1980s poaching nearly wiped them out. At a time 2500 were still alive which meant 96% of the population was dead.

     This is the second group of rhinos that was sent to a reserve. The first was sent out in 2004and is doing okay. We hope this one will do the same.

      Do you know other animals that have been sent to a reserve?

 

I Hate You Tests

      Hi I'm doing a revised version of the "Not Fun Test". The reason I chose it was because it had a lot of errors. Also I didn't use vivid words. So hope you enjoy the new version.

      Have you ever wondered why we have to take so many tests? A test does not teach us anything, but a test asks us questions.  Classes teach us things that we get tested on. So lets pretend that you just started school and on the first day you take a test. So you didn't get to do classwork. But the next day you got another test, well you didn't do classwork so you weren't prepared. Also they ask us things we haven't learned yet. So don't make us take any tests until the end of the year.

     Even though we do not like tests we still have to take them . Tests tell our teacher if we're doing okay. But why do we have to take so many test? We could just take the important ones and pass grade. Even though they're important we still hate them. Because we get nervous , bored ,and tired of sitting around doing nothing.

     So do you like my new version?
