Habitat Heroes #habitatheroesnz

This year we have been learning about our local wetland areas. We visited the Waitangi Wetlands and planted trees and plants. We also spread mulch on the plants to protect them. When we were there, we noticed that there were very few animal species around the place.

If we were to win the D.O.C Habitat Heroes competition, we would;

Get rid of the introduced species who eat our native species.

Buy traps to catch the rats and stoats.

We would aim to place the traps on trees and create nesting places for birds.

We could also get a bunch of people each year together to clean up an area in our wetlands, starting from the day we start.

Term 3 Cross Country Training

So far this term we have been busy across Rooms 7, 8 and 9 not only in the classrooms but also outside of them. Our Cross Country training is now in full swing. Four days a week,the students complete their training, each time challenging themselves to run a little further or a little faster or a little longer. The amount of effort that the children put into this is evident.

Fractions

Reading

We are learning to: think  critically about a text and share our thoughts with others  every Tuesday and Friday I go to a reading workshop and 

We read a book there about 18 of us that read together and we have these stop go card we will read a paragraph then the teacher will see if anyone has a stop sign then the teacher will ask you what your question is.

Term 2 persuasive writing

We have been learning to write persuasive texts.

To do this, we had to use our words to convince someone to believe something.

Here is an example of my writing. I tried to persuade the Hawkes bay community to stop dumping rubbish.

Hawkes Bay we need to stop dumping rubbish because it damages our environment and it kills our native animals and plants. Most of our native animals are endangered like kiwi and tuataras and the rubbish will kill them and make them extinct.

       If you dump rubbish you will go to court and get find over $300 if you don't want that to happen to you, then stop. You could go to prison if you do it multiple times. It is illegal to dump rubbish.

   It is so unfair when I heard on Monday I was shocked imagine if you went to sit by a river and you found rubbish dumped there well you don't have to there were approximately 300 nappies were dump at the Ngaruroro River. It is very sad.

IN CONCLUSION WE SHOULD NOT DUMP RUBBISH

!!
