Recount about what we did today!
Today was Friday(aka Enviro-day)
We went up to the duck pond because we had to repair the hinaki trap,Fix the fences surrounding the ducks/duck pond,check and reset the rat traps,count how much ducks their where, and best of all trying the egg incubator which was something different.
The favorite part for me was actually making the pegs for placing the shade cloth to the floor,but the hardest thing for me was to actually break the metal wire into little parts which took for ever to do.
I didn't really get to reset the and check the traps because I was to busy doing my own things,But I loved watching them trying to reset the traps and pulling the trap back.
Recount of what I loved.
Today was Friday and we did so many things that include the environment such as: Repairing the hinaki which I didn't do,Fixing the fences which I love to do,checking and resetting the traps which I loved watching,counting how many ducks where their and watching Rob (aka a Enviro teacher) trying to figure out how to work out how to use the incubator which was challenging.
And that's all what we did for enviro day.

Sort of comments.
This is my learning about sorting out comments that are good and bad.
I learnt what where good or bad comments .
Then I had to figure out which comments where good and which where bad.
For example..My phone number is .......... what would that be under?
good or bad??

Persuasive writing
Could you imagine seeing over 3.million pieces of rubbish in our oceans? Would’nt that feel like swimming in the dump?
Our ocean is being ruined and we need to do something about it.
Not only is the pollution affecting our oceans, overfishing is also causing our oceans to empty out, along with the negative effects of global warming.
Global warming.
First of all greenhouse gases trap more energy from the sun,the oceans are absorbing more heat sooo” that means the sea surface temperatures are rising and the sea levels change as the Ocean can easily kill Sealife.
Polluting
Ok so you know untreated sewage is finding its way to our ocean?Each year 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated sewage is dumped into the water that maybe could have tiny parts of plastic that could most probably kill our sea life.
Fishing Proplems
Last but not least, people say catching fish is’nt bad for the ocean but I know that people are way overfishing.It is estimated that over a trillion fish are caught each year from the moana.
Conclusion
Do you think if we stop all of these problems in the ocean we would have a better ocean for us to do all sorts of things?
Because we are using our oceans for many things.
Production
Reflection about the production.
This year we did a production about Tiddler the storytelling fish.
I like the production because I was the octopus and I was one of the main characters.
I felt excited because I didn’t feel scared at all and because I had already done something like that two years ago but this production was way better.
I really love going up on stage and preforming
I really wanted to achieve my goal that I did at the start of which was to be Tu maia and I feel like I made it.
My favorite part of the production was when I put my costume on for the first time, I feel like next they should make a production a bit longer.
