Orchards In Schools Part 2 . . .
Kia Ora Everybody,
Yesterday Mary came back from orchards for schools to come and check on our trees.
Our trees started to produce fruit but out trees need to first start growing roots and leaves.
so we trimmed the fruit bulbs off.
We need to trim the bulbs off because the fruits will weigh down the tree and it will split the tree.
The pear trees have no fruit.
The plum trees have no fruit.
The Fejoa trees have no fruit.
But the apple trees are the only trees thet grew fruit an needed to be snipped.
Kind Regards Leandri.

My Official Speech
Kia Ora Everyone,
Last week we did our speeches.
We decided that we will highlight the important parts.
I would like to know what you think.
Dog are amazing for many thing in this world.
Do you have a dog?
You might be thinking dogs are ok but only cats can catch
rats and mice right?
Well no, before history Jack Russels were the official rat
catchers before cats were even domesticated.
And I am here to educate you on why dogs are better than cats.
There is a breed for everyone
You might not want a tiny dog and you might not want a big dog but lucky for you
there are so many types and sizes.
There is long hair, short haired, wired hair and soft hair.
If you want the biggest or the smallest breed you might want
a Caucasian Shepherd (Biggest) or a Chihuahua (Smallest).
All cats are almost the same size so there are not a lot to choose from
Guide Dogs
Guide dogs are working dogs, they help lead the blind and visually impared.
Only the best of the best can be a guide dog.
Out of all the dogs that train to be a guide dog only 75% of dogs get in.
In Europe they tried to train guide cats. After a few months of repetitive failure they shut
down the project.
Sniffer Dogs
I think the best thing a dog can be trained to do is be a sniffer dog.
A Sniffer dog can actually be trained to sniff out multiple things like
Drugs, Bombs, large amounts of money and even people.
And some scientists are trying to train dogs to sniff out Covid-19.
Cat’s are not interested in the slightest bit of training.
So imagine a cat doing any of these jobs!
and this is the list of the top 5 sniffer dog breeds.
Bloodhound
Basset hound
Beagle
German Shepherd
Labrador Retriever
Guard Dogs
A large group of dogs are categorized as guard dogs.
Guard dogs act as a home alarm.
Their bark warns the owner that there is a problem.
These breeds are courageous and strong and have no problem defending their
home.
The most common guard dogs are normally Mastiffs or bully breed
because of their
reputation for being dangerous and fierce.
These breeds are some of my top 5 guarding breeds.
German Shepherd
Doberman
Rottweiler
Rodhesian ridgeback
Bullmastiff
Dogs Understand Gestures/More trainable
This might not come as a surprise to you but some dogs are deaf and they need a mentor
to get them through the world.
So to train a deaf dog they will need to learn hand gestures.
It is not as hard as it seems.
All you need to do is use 1 gesture and associate it with an action.
And even if your dog is able to hear they will love the extra entertainment and learning.
And That just goes to show how trainable dogs actually are.
Just imagine a cat meowing to stop a robber!
Dogs have so many better uses than a cat in modern society.
I mean It’s pointless to tell your cat to herd a flock of sheep isn’t it!
And Cats sleep 16 hours a day and the other 8 hours they are outside.
In Conclusion That is why dogs are so much better than cat’s.
