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.

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.
