My Speech

Should Lawrence area school have a school pet? I think so because they are cute and adorable. Everyone that I know has a pet and that’s why I think that the school should have a school pet.

Firstly let’s think about what kind it should be. I think the new pet should be a light brown labrador puppy, if it’s a girl it might be called Milly, and if it’s a boy we might call it Max. I think that dogs are more playful than cats. If it’s a girl the colour of the collar should be pink, and if it’s a boy the colour of the collar should be blue. It doesn't matter what colour the lead is but I think it should be red.

We also have to think about who would look after the puppy. Mrs May should look after the puppy and if she is on holiday or she is sick a farm person might be able to look after it and that sounds good to me.

If no one wants to look after the puppy Mrs. May might buy a run for it. That sounds fine to me. The puppy can run and sleep in the run which will make it very happy. We have lots of green grass for a dog to run around on and our school has a gate at the front so the dog would stay in and be safe.

We also need to decide who would feed the puppy. Well I do not think that one person should feed the puppy, but all of us could .What I mean is that we can take turns feeding it and that will be fair for everyone.

If just one person feeds the puppy then everyone might fight and we do not want that to happen. Imagine all of us fighting in the middle of the puppy run, people would see us and laugh at us and then the fight will get bigger and bigger every time then everyone then the whole school might laugh and fight but then the principal would come and we would be in trouble. The idea of having a pet is so that everyone learns to looks after a dog, so if we took turns feeding it then we are all learning to be more responsible.

I think we should have a school pet because  they are good company for people. No one will pretend that they are pet in a game because they would have the school pet. I think that someone could take the puppy home in the holidays or maybe at night, they can take the puppy on the little red lead to school.

But if some people are too scared of the puppy they might not want to take the puppy home. Since I have a litter box at home I might take the puppy for a night or two. A puppy would be well-looked after and get lots of attention. It would be great to get a school dog!
