e.g- play, feed & groom with the cats and kittens __**Questions:**
 * Callum:** Take care of the kittens and cats with Kadison


 * Callum's Questions**__

 **__Hypothesis:__** What Ithink is that the people at the SPCA like to look after sick animals because they feel sad for the mistreated animals, and that they want to earn money from it.
 * 1)**Why does the SPCA look after sick animals? 2 **)** Why do people want to work at the SPCA?

Answers - The SPCA in Auckland has been looking after sick,injured and abandoned animals since 1883. it's an animal sanctuary for abandoned and mistreated animals. People go there to help the animals because they care for the animals.The SPCA is like a business, but the workers volunteer to help out, and look after, and want to look after them. Some people feel sorry for the poor animals and so they should be treated with respect and that people should not hurt the animal. And so they want to work for the SPCA which stands for: [|////Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.////] 


 * __Hypothesis:__** I think the answer is practically the same as the first question

Your wiki looks great. A key thing for you to do before you can go to the SPCA is definitely to prepare things to take there. You need to find out exactly how you can help, then respond appropriately. E.g Collect newspaper, pet food, animal toys (If that's what they actually need help with.) Well done for contacting the SPCA and organising a date to go. You have a bit of paperwork to sort out before you go....permission slips and RAMS. You'll also need a parent to go with you and stay with you the whole time you're there.

You also need to answer the questions you asked. You've mostly stated what you think the answers are but please complete some research to determine the actual answer. <span style="background-color: rgb(171, 255, 0)">Well done Kadison for ensuring that your daily reflection is up to date and current. Clyde, you haven't completed even one entry!! Very disappointing.I'm pleased with the way you contacted the SPCA and arranged for a visit. I hope you have a great time tomorrow. Take a camera and take lots of photos. You can use them to make your Wiki look awesome and to demonstrate your learning. I'm looking forward to your presentations on Monday.


 * <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 247, 0)">I enjoyed listening to and seeing your presentation SASM. I like the way you included photos of your experiences at the SPCA.It was wonderful that you were able to help out by cleaning out some cages and making some toys. I couldn't find the end of task reflections that you were meant to have done. Have I missed something? The thing that I most want you to get out of this task is the realisation that you can make a positive difference to others. As the future leaders of this country I'd like you to serve others in some way so that you can leave your community (whatever that community may be) a better place.
