SLJ Restricted Access Activity 3 Day 4 Week 4

Hi, for today's SLJ activity I am going to write about weather I think it is fair for the government to ban this beautiful site.

Here is a picture of the sight.

SLJ Adopting Day Activity 2 Day 5 week 4

Today's activity for SLJ is adopting day, this is were I have to list down three animals that I want to adopt and then I compare their prices I think that is how to do it so let's do this.

1. A Snowy owl, their adopting pack price to help save them is $55











2. A Jaguar, their adopting pack price to help save them is also $55

3. Now lastly the African Rhino Calf, their adopting pack price to help save them is once again $55

The similar thing about these animals is that their all the same price for the pack, they are the most popular to the packs as well and they have similar eye sizes.
The one I would adopt would be the snowy owl because I like owls.

My whole family got ready for the walk they wore a whole bunch of different clothing items. Some wore winter clothes then the other clothes summery clothes and I just wore random clothes. But when we opened the door...
We felt so happy because we got to stand in fresh air. It was crazy at first because I still smelt a little breeze of gases. When they eventually left mt scent me and my family went for the walk we planed. When we crossed to the next street we saw a ambulance and this man getting strolled in to the truck. I felt so bad because I thought that this man stood directly in the rain and then the next day he goes to hospital. Anyways me and my family only went for a short walk because we were still a bit tired from being frighted. So we didn't see much things once we walked back home I thought to myself '' I hope this never happens again''.
