My Whakapapa Story

Hi I have Whakapapa about my family.  I have used colours in my picture to describe them. My nana is a yellow koru. She is yellow because she is brave and I am purple because it’s my favourite colour. My baby brother is blue because he is a boy and my mum is purple because she is happy. My Aunt is orange because she looks ironing. The heart in the middle is the people who have died. The heart is red because I love them and the orange around the red is warm and makes me smile because they are funny.  

Why littering At The Beach is Bad?

Learning Goal: We are learning to write a persuasive text.
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I can express my point of view and support it with evidence. 

I believe that littering at the beach is nasty.  When people throw their plastic bags at the beach the get stuck over the heads of the sea creatures. They suffocate and die. The fishing lines and fishing nets get tangled around their neck. They will drown and die.
I suggest that people should show respect to our environment by taking their rubbish home.

How Volcano Works?

In Room 2 we are interested to learn how volcano works. 
When the volcano erupts the hot lava flows down the sides of the mountain. The lava turns into rocks when it cools down. The ash cloud goes up into the atmosphere. The atmosphere gets warmer and warmer and the ice will melt. The sea will rise and the flat islands will sink into the ocean.

Today is a very hot day. The fiery sun makes me sweaty and sticky. The sun makes me hot, tired, and sleepy. I can see the birds gliding across the blue sky. I can hear the leaves rustling.

Why Is Cutting Down Trees Bad?

Learning Intention: I am learning to write a persuasive text using information to persuade readers my point of view is right.

I believe that people should not cut down trees because we will not have oxygen to breathe. There will be no home for the animals and birds.
