Ocean Conservation

On Monday This lady Libby came into our class to teach as about the Ocean Conservation. I learnt so much things about the Ocean Conservation, like how long a manta ray is, what happens to plastic when it’s in the ocean… It was really interesting having Libby come talk to us.

Should Plastic bags be used at super markets?

Last week in Te Ngahere we did a  persuasive piece of writing about should plastic bags be used in super markets. Our WALT for this activity was to use the correct structure for a persuasive. I think I did really well on trying to make my ideas original in my writing.

18/10/17

Walt: Make my ideas original, so the reader can connect with them.

Should Plastic bags be used at supermarkets?

Plastic bags should not be sold at supermarkets because they are destroying our environment and killing our sea creatures and if this goes on for a very long time it might even kill all of our sea creatures.

Should plastic bags be used in supermarkets? No! They should not give out plastic bags for you to put your groceries in, they should use reusable bags in supermarkets. Why? Because they are spreading worldwide, and they are very hard to get rid of.

Plastic bags in up into our sea and start that's for fear on them. Why? Because we just let plastic fly away into the ocean and the sea creatures think it is food and they eat it and die.

Even our bird life is bad because when they go and find food for their young ones they pick up rubbish and feed it to them they eat it and when the mother bird keeps doing it the poison from the rubbish digest in the stomach and then they die, and when you split the stomach open there are big pieces of rubbish in them the only rubbish that digest in the bird.

When you put the plastic bags in the rubbish bin the the rubbish track takes it away and then the rubbish gets piled up and all the rubbish just lays there and all the plastic under it and in the middle can never be bernt or never disappearing it’s just gonna stay there for ever and soak into the soil.

Thanks for reading my should plastic bags be used at supermarkets, and I hope you learnt lots.

Language,

The  French language is the 10th most spoken language in the world. It is an official language in 32 countries and did you know that 6 to 11 million people in America speak it? This country just can’t get any better!!!  

Population,

There are alot of peoplein Francee and it has been like that for many years.In 2010 the population in France was 62,961, 136. In 2015 the population was 64,395,345. In 2016 the population was 64,668,129 and did you know that in 2017 the population is 64, 938, 716? Now that is just amazing.

Sports,

Did you know that the three most popular sports in France are cycling, football and Tennis? Let’s talk about Cycling. Cycling is one of the most popular sports in France. It is a hobby to many people in there! France holds the annual Cycling race which takes place each July and lasts for three weeks.  Many people attend this race. It is a popular race that has been alive since 1996.

Hope you had a nice time reading about Sports, Language and Population. Hope you learnt a lot and new things about France.

Last Term Te Ngahere and Te Maunga were doing Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. We were learning to draw a  Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. Also my Mum came in and did one too. The first thing we had to do was light draw with a pencil then we had to use these really nice paints called metallic paint. On our Kowhaiwhai Pattern  we had to wait till it was finished drying then we went over it with  vivid. Here is my art  and my Mums  art.

On Wednesday Te Ngahere had a Student Led Conferences. We made a google drawing to evidence our Learning this is all the things I put on to the google drawing  writing, maths, reading, art, inquiry and Te Reo Maori.
