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.

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. 

1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  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.

Reflection

My reflection on my speech.

The topic of my speech.

The topic of my speech was should we use digital devices instead of pen and paper.

How Persontasion went.

I really liked my speech because I didn’t want to waste my time writing a speech and don’t saying it right.

I felt butterflies in my stomach at the start of my speech.

Planning.

My planning went really well and I like what I write about.

Because It was kinda difficult to research about my topic though.

Editing.

Editing at the end was really hard cause I didn’t know what I was looking for cause it looked all good until the printing time there was a big mistake.

I am Poem

 I am a Dog lover and Animal lover,cause animals are the best things on the planet because they're adorable in every way.

I am a wonderful Daughter,to my Mum & Dad well I think I am because I'm the only one who listens but I'm not allowed to do fun stuff like my sister and brother get.

I am the middle child in my family, I like being the middle child because when they go for sleepovers bi get to stay home and play on their stuff that they tell me not to touch or play with.

I haved lived in Nz for my whole entire life. I was born in Whangarei and I live in Coopers beach now.

I'm an alright backer. I can bake some good stuff but not hard things cause one I don’t follow the instruction Two I can't listen to baking rules.

I love to go fishing on boats and the mangonui wharf,But we normally go fishing on boats if we go fishing on boats we launch from taipa and we go out to I don't know, but somewhere what I like to do when we go fighting is throwing the rods and bait out.

I love to Garden sometime , Things that we plant are Beetroots Tomatoes and way more finish stuff well i say alright.

I'm a student at school. I listen well enough to teachers especially to our teacher.

I am a superstar swimmer  in salt water because when you swim in public pools it’s cramped and not too much space to flip around and there are no big waves that ball you over like the beaches.

I am a year 7 at school and I am leaving primary school next year and going to high school I'm not excited to leave primary cause I have been at this school my whole life form year 1 to year 8 and I haved done so much dum and smart stuff here and because I was a little cheeky kid when I was little but now I’m still a bit cheeky but im controlling myself now.

EMPEROR PENGUINS

WORST FOOD I HATE!

Drought

Dry grass is every where in the far north.

Rain is no where to be found

Outside it is like the earthquake shocked.

Useless water not  to be used.

Ground is shaking like car’s moving super fast.

Heat waves are every where to be seen.

The ground is solid hard.
