Title: Reduce Reuse Recycle

Rubbish is everywhere now days down in an old town named Bean’O’Burg. Bean’O’Burg was fill of rubbish. Rubbish here rubbish there rubbish everywhere. The people of the town where all very unhappy because of the state of their town. Legends says that Bean’O’burg use to be a wonderful happy tidy place where everyone was happy and everyone always were outside. Well legends are actually like three months ago.

Bean’O’Burg was a dump but there was one person who really wanted to stop the rubbish and come up with a system to do it his name is… EVAN. Evan thought of ways to reduce reuse and recycle the rubbish in the town then it hit him a… HUGH MUNGUS TOWN CLEAN UP. Evan had trouble getting the word around but he finally did it after he designed a filer. Then he had to clear his front pouch to get out of his house. He had to find a stapler to use to put his filers up. Then he had to go around and find places to put up his files. Then he had to clear people front steps to give them filers because there don’t go outside so there can’t see the filers. Once Evan had finished he gathered the people of the town and started his speech to change this town.

Evans Speech:

“As you all know I have put filers around our town to stop this rubbish. I have came up with a way to stop the rubbish in our town, we have a HUGH MUNGUS TOWN CLEAN UP. Do you want these town to be know as Trash’O’Burg”

The crowd,”No!”

Evan said,”Do you want to get this town back to the way it was!”

The crowd,”Yes!”

Evan said,” Well what are we waiting for mach my fellow town friends let’s do this!”

The crowd,”Let’s do this!”

So everyone in the town of Bean’O’Burg got to work. There was people here people there people everywhere picking up rubbish. After hours and hours and hours it was finally done and the town was all happy again everyone was outside playing, swimming in the local river and people were having barbecues. Also families were building rafts for the raft race that was happening that weekend. And they were making them out of milk bottle and other materials they found when there were cleaning up.

Evan was a king and everyone lived happily ever after and never had problems with rubbish again thanks to their new system… REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE!!!

A couple of weeks ago Te Ngahere had to create a creative piece of writing. We had to include lots of detail to really show the reader what we were talking about. Our writing was based of reduce, reuse and recycle. I was learning to use metaphors, speech marks and alliteration. I think I used a good amount of alliteration and speech marks. Next time I think I need to work on putting more metaphors into my writing.

Should Plastic Bags be banned from supermarket

Should plastic bags be used in supermarkets?

In my opinion plastic bag should in deed be banned from supermarkets. Why do I think this well I will tell you all about in the next paragraph. What do you think about plastic bags being banned at supermarkets?

Plastic bags are a huge thing in this world. They are use at supermarkets some shopping centres. When you think about plastic bags kill marine animals like turtles dolphins and other marine animals. Did you know that turtles eat jellyfish and when plastic bags find themselves in the ocean there look a lot like jellyfish and the thing is turtles can’t tell the difference between a plastic bag and a jellyfish? How would you like it if you had plastic stuck in your mouth which could prevently lead to choking?

Another reason of mine is that plastic bags are not biodegradable. You’re probably thinking what is biodegradable well biodegradable means that it can break down and it fertilises the soil and water. Plastic bags are photodegradable which means it needs the sunlight to break down and this process take hundreds of years. The bad thing is that at land fills everything is just dumped and most plastic bags are piled under other rubbish which prevents the sunlight from reaching the plastic bags under all of the rubbish. When the plastic bags do break down to smaller pieces they can be carried in the wind polluting soil water and marine animals.

We need to stop plastic bags because plastic bags are helping our ozone layer create a big hole. The ozone layer protects us from the sun and once our ozone layer is broken the heat from the sun melts the icebergs and then water rises also there is a chance people could start to get skin cancer.

Hopefully you agree with my statements about plastic bags. If you want to help bring your own reusable bags to supermarkets.

Reflection:
In the first week of term 4 we had to write a persuasive piece of writing about should plastic bags be banned in supermarkets, at the top of our page we had to write at the top what we were learning. I was learning to use metaphors in my writing. In wrote my story on supermarkets should ban plastic bags. What do you think about plastic bags being ban from supermarkets? Next time I write a persuasive piece of writing I think I need to work on getting more metaphor in my writing.

We had to write many reports about our country like sports, disasters, famous people, animals and lots more. When I was writing my report I was focusing on using commas, pronouns and parentheses. I managed to finish six reports but I choice to show you my first report I wrote.

We also had a follow up activity for our fidget spinner writing. We were drawing and designing our own fidget spinner. We were learn to use crayon and dye while filling all the gaps. I enjoyed the art and I don’t like art in class so it was good I enjoyed it.

Narrative

Narrative

Once upon a time there was a small cold soccer game on a Saturday morning.

There were parents in there big fluffy jackets getting their kids up early and ready for their soccer game. There was an angry big couch called Scotty. He was so hard on his team and he would never ever smile. He was as hard as a rock. He was very hard on his son Jacob. Jacob was the water boy.

Jacob just had to watch the game and sit on the sideline. His dad Scotty would never let him on to play. Scotty thought that he was too slow and weak.

A couple moments later one of Scotty’s best players was tripped over and could not run. Scotty didn’t know what to do because he had no subs and his best player couldn’t even run.

Scotty look over to his son and his son was begging on his knees to play and Scotty had no choice if he didn’t put Jacob on his team would be one person down.

There was ten seconds left and it was one all. Then the opposite team kicked the ball right to the goal...

Then Jacob ran up and kicked the ball and it went flying back into the other goal. Scotty was so proud of his son and Scotty’s tears came out and Jacob said to his dad, “Dad are you crying?”

Scotty said,

“No son I just have some grass in my eye.”

Jacob was on the field more and they lived happily ever after.

The Tangelo

Tuesday 21st February

Tangelo

I remember holding the sticky juicy tangelo in my right hand.

As I peeled the skin off the shining orange tangelo I listened in closely and I heard a crispy kind of sound.

When I took my first bit warm sticky juice ran down my arm. Then I found a darkish grey pip, I rubbed my thumb over the pip.

It felt very smooth and calm.

As I finish the last segment I caught my eye on the bumpy skin, I took a slim small was very sourer and it didn't taste nice at all.

We had to write a descriptive piece of writing on a tangelo. I had to use all my five senses. I thought next time I could use some more similes and onomatopoeia.  

I Remember

In my writing I had to notice the structure.  We had to make a descriptive piece of writing to describe or summer by adding all kinds of interesting verbs, nouns and adjectives.  Then we had to edit and recraft. I think that I did well with the structure. In my story I thought that I didn’t really add many detail so next time I will try to add more detail.
