Should Plastic Bags be in Super Markets?

I think plastic bags are a very bad choice for the environment. They are very bad for the marine life as well as the ozone layer and don’t forget us as well.

Plastic bags are made from a type of toxic gas. When plastic bags are burnt they release the toxic gas which travels to the ozone layer Which makes the hole bigger.This will let in more ultraviolet rays which will melt the ice bergs.

Sea animals are saying hello to heaven and bye to life because of all the plastic bags that are polluting the environment. We may recognise what plastic bags look like but sea creatures may not. Here’s an example turtles love to eat jellyfish but to them plastic bags look exactly like jellyfish. Imagine you’re a sea creature and you have a piece of plastic stuck in you throat. Not nice at all.

Plastic bags are bad but what about paper bags. Paper bags are just as bad as plastic bags because we are cutting down loads of trees and trees produce oxygen so that we can breath. The less trees we have the less oxygen we have. Then we could all die from the lack of air.

I hope you see why plastic bags are very bad for the environment. This is why we should not use plastic bags in the supermarket. I hope you enjoyed my piece of writing.

Last week in Te Ngahere we wrote persuasive pieces of writing. We were learning to write a persuasive piece of writing. I think I wrote a good persuasive but I think I might have to work on making it a little longer. I hope you enjoy reading my writing.

My Writing Goals

 

Last week in Te Ngahere, We made our writing goals. I want to learn to write my ideas original and to use ellipses in my writing. I selected my goals on the writing rubrics. I chose these goals so that I can achieve them and get to a higher stage.

Russia's Native Plants

Did you know one of Russia’s native plants is a flower that is called a Chamomile? The Camomile is a type of daisy and it’s sap can be used for bruises and sprains. 

 Firstly, The Rhododendrons has ten species of its kind. Most of the species of Rhododendrons are deciduous. Rhododendrons is one of the most popular plants in Russia. 

 Secondly, the Iris flower has a lot of species in its kind in total it has about sixty species. Irises are very popular in Russia. The Iris gets its name from the greek word rainbow. The iris plant is a popular garden flower. 

 Thirdly, The butterfly weed plant is grown from seed in home gardens. These brilliant flowers attract butterflies. Some people call it milkweed when none of the species have milky sap.

 In conclusion, Russia has a lot of weird names for flowers. They have lots of species and they are all very pretty.

A few weeks ago in Te Ngahere we were learning to write a report. I also learnt how to use proper nouns and common nouns, organise my learning into paragraphs and to use topic sentences. We had to write more than 2 reports.

Russia Report

Russia

Did you know Russia is the biggest country in the world? Russia is 6.6 square miles long. There are millions of people living in the country.

Firstly, did you know that Russia has over one hundred and forty three million, three hundred and sixty nine thousand, six hundred and sixty two people living in the country? That is quite a lot. The total land area is 16,299,981 Km long.

Russia's population is equivalent to 1.91% of the total world population.

Secondly, Russia has a variety of native animals like the Amur Tiger. The Amur Tiger has five times better night vision than humans. The Amur Tiger came close to extinction. But is no longer close to extinction thanks to the help of scientists. They save the Amur Tiger by protecting them in a zoo.The karakurt spider is among the 10 most dangerous spiders on Earth. The bite causes pain, which quickly passes but after a while between 15 minutes and 6 hours, intense pain spreads throughout the bitten limb and then to the muscles of the body, chest and abdomen. Immediately after the bite within two minutes at the most, you can hold a burning match against the bitten place. Any poison that has not already flowed into the body is destroyed by the heat. Russian animals are really cool and there is a lot of native animals in Russia.

Thirdly, in Russia they speak Russian, Russian dictionaries have 130,000 to 150,000 words in them. Cyril and Methodius invented the alphabet in Russia they were brothers. Almost seven million out of 145 million people speak English in Russia.

In conclusion, Russia is a very big country, that has loads of native animals living in it as well as people. Russia has very big dictionaries that will be very boring to find one word.

In Week two Te Ngahere had to write a country report about our chosen country. We were learning to write an informational report. Every time we went to a workshop we would get a new WALT like use semicolons in my writing. I really enjoyed writing informational reports. I wrote five reports.

My Writing Goals

Last week, Te Ngahere made a google drawing of our learning goals for writing. We got to make it colourful and pretty. We were learning to Identify our learning goals. We had to make the writing big, so that people can see it while it is on the wall.

Fidget Spinner Art

A few weeks ago, Te Ngahere and Te Maunga drew their own fidget Spinners. We were learning to use as much space as we could. We were drawing fidget spinners to go with our fidget spinner writing. We used crayon and dye in our picture.

Here is my story !!!

I am talking to you today because I think fidget spinners should not be allowed in class or even school.

Firstly, they can distract you in class and affect other people. They can make you confused because you will be looking at it, and you might forget what you are doing and confuse you.

Secondly, they can be really expensive, some can cost over ten dollars and what is the point of getting something that small for ten dollars.

Thirdly, somebody might want a turn and then they may break it. Then you could get sad and some people are not normal, they might have a fight.

For all these reasons this is why fidget spinners should not be allowed  at Paihia School.

 I Remember

 I Remember...
Sitting in the sand as hot as an oven My togs getting hotter and hotter I was sweating making a lake beneath me Until I was too hot and then, splash! I jumped in the fresh, sparkling water and felt relieved I dived excitedly, jumping and making terrific splashes I cooled down as quick as a piece of freezing ice That was hot summer.

I was learning to write a piece of descriptive writing to describe my summer. Notice and use the structure used in the exemplar. Make my writing interesting for the audience by using descriptive adjectives, verbs and nouns. Edit and recraft writing.

What I think I did well I added some similes and adjectives.
