The girl that wanted EVERYTHING

 The girl that wanted EVERYTHING

“I WANT MARSHMALLOWS!!!” Screeched Akaner while blowing Mr and Mrs Meek all the way to the kitchen. Mr and Mrs Meek sprinted to find the Marshmallows. “Here they are honey” said Mrs Meek breathing heavily, “IT’S ABOUT TIME!” yelled Akaner (oh yeah and Mr and Mrs Meek are very nice people so that's why she gets whatever she wants whenever she wants it and I mean WHATEVER SHE WANTS) 

One day she asked for a big pile of elephants poop and you wonder why? So she can throw it at any one at any time. The next day Akaner went to school, Mr and Mrs Meek had to carry her all the way even though it was just across the street. When I mean carried, I mean they literally lifted her up and took her to school. When they got to school Mrs Meek said “Goodbye lovely fairy” and she said back “yeah yeah, do you have my lunch with, two packets of lollies, coloured jelly, ice cream, and some chips?” “Yes, but I also put some nuts and an apple in just in case you want to eat it, ” Mrs Meek added. “This apple is too heavy for my lunch box,” complained Akaner. “Don’t worry sweetie you can stroll your bag instead” said Mr Meek. “ohha” groaned Akaner 

 

After school 

After school Mr and Mrs Meek carry Akaner home (and you know what I mean). When they carried home Akanar kept on demanding junk like TVs, a gigantic room, a whale as a pet, an endless pit for people that she doesn't like. I've only seen 2 people go in there. Believe me NEVER CROSS HER!!! This had been happening since she was 4. 4 is when she started to speak.  

Mr and Mrs Meek were starting to get sick and tired of doing what Akanar says “what should we do?” gulped Mrs Meek. “I think that...You should tell her that we are the boss of her, and she can't boss us around any more, ” said Mr Meek. “Oh fine you big baby” groaned Mrs Meek while crossing her arms. “Don’t worry I will be righhhhhhhhhht next to you” Mr Meek said with a smile. 

When they were coming back they were thinking should we get a lot of stuff for her so she will have everything in the world but a Ting. “Well we can’t do that we’ll have no more money left.” said Mrs Meek, “well then will just tell her” said Mr Meek.

When they got back home they were shivering with fear. Creak the door opened…. “Hi honey” said Mrs Meek trying to hide her fear. “MR AND MRS MEEK WHERE'S MY TING” yelled Akaner. Akaner never used Mr and Mrs Meeks last name; she always used mum or dad but this was different. Mr and Mrs Meek nodded at each other and stood up. “You will not be getting a ting” said Mr Meek, “and why is that?” said Akaner, “because you're not the boss of us and you're grounded for 2 months,” said Mrs Meek.

My speech

 Hello, My name is Hayley and my speech is about bunnies and rabbits because they are my favourite animal. 

Rabbits and bunnies' eyes are on the side of their heads, and that is a good thing because they can see if there are other animals coming around them. There is only one blind spot on the bunnies and rabbits. It is in front of them. Rabbits teeth never stop growing! Rabbits' ears can be 10 centimetres long, and can turn 180 degrees. Some rabbits sleep with their eyes open! Loafing is a position that bunnies like to sit in. You can have 1 to 14 bunnies in a litter. Litter means how many bunnies they had. 

The fastest rabbit is an Arctic Hare. They can run 60km per hour. There are more than 30 species of bunnies. Here are some, Mini Rex, Holland Lop, Dutch Lop and so much more. Rabbits are a part of a species called Lagomorphs. The longest bunny species is a  Flemish giant. They weigh up to 6.8 kilograms. The biggest Flemish giant weighed 10 kilograms. The longest bunny in the world is 4 foot long. Rabbits can jump up to 90 centimetres high. 

You call the female rabbit a doe, the male rabbit is called a buck, and the baby bunny is called a kit or a kitten. Some rabbits live in groups. Rabbits can learn tricks. When rabbits and bunnies are happy they do twists and kicks in mid air. Bunnies and rabbits purr like cats when they are relaxed. Bunnies can start breeding at 5 to 6 months.

Here are some extra facts about rabbits and bunnies:

Rabbits eat grass, wildflowers, and vegetables. Rabbits can’t vomit. Rabbits don’t really make noises. Do you know the difference between a rabbit and a bunny? They are pretty much the same animal, but a rabbit is a small mammal, and a bunny is a small rabbit.  Bunnies can live up to 12 years old. The first rabbit born was in the 5th century.

I hope you enjoyed my speech about bunnies and rabbits. I didn’t know this much about bunnies and rabbits. I did get some information off the internet. Bunnies and rabbits are really cute and cuddly animals. Did you learn anything about bunnies and rabbits? 

The speech's

In Room 1 we have been doing a speech. This is what we had to do: First we had to think of the title, then we had to  write an introduction, after that we had to find facts about the topic, we also had to write a conclusion, next we had to edit it and make sure it made sense, finally we wrote it on cue cards. The speech could be about any topic we wanted. My speech is about bunnies and rabbits because they are my favourite animal.
