Kiwiana Christmas Art

Last week in Te Ngahere we made Kiwiana Christmas art. If you win you get to see the new movie Kiwiana Christmas. We had four spaces to draw in.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Should plastic bags be used in the Supermarket?

WALT: recycle reuse and reduce.

I think that Plastic bags shouldn’t be used in the supermarket. Because plastic bags go into the water and pollute the water and sea animals die from them. Like the turtle that eats jellyfish and they don’t see the difference that we do. People should use a reusable bag instead of plastic bags.

Plastic bags could possibly kill humans because the small fish eat the plastic and big fish eat the small fish and humans eat the big fish. We want people to come to New Zealand so that we can have money but if we litter we won’t be a clean green country.

Landfills can make gas’s and that can cause global warming. Global warming melts the ice and that make the sea levels rise. It also ruins the ozone layer and

that causes skin cancer. And we can get it faster too. The plastic and rubbish can kill the sea life like dolphins, fish, whales and especially turtles.

Do you want to kill our sea life?

In the first week of term 4 Te Ngahere made a persuasive writing for reduce, reuse and recycle. Our WALT was to use the correct structure for a persuasive. I need to work on compound sentences.  

Visual mihi

In week one of term 4 we made a visual mihi on a google drawing. We did this because we had to say our class mihi. The visual mihi was to understand what we were saying. I chose the Bellbird because the mihi starts with a bird.

Maths Goals

Last week in Te Ngahere we had to create a google drawing about our maths goals. The teacher handed us our ICAN sheets so we could choose from the sheet. Then we put them on the google drawing then we presented it to others. I chose my goals because I didn’t know how to them and I want move up more stages.

Remeber

Tuesday 7th February

I remember…

Digging a hole at the beach.

The sand so hard to dig.

Little waves of slippery water coming into the hole.

The hole getting filled up with water.

I get sand all over my hot body.

I go jump in  the ice cold water to wash all the sand off.

I get out of the water my cousins are burying my brothers feet in the hole with sand.

That was summer.
