Who learns about plastic bags? I have been learning about plastic bags and how they are harmful to human health.

WALT use language features of persuasive writing

To be successful I will:

Use rhetorical questions to make my writing interesting
Use emotive language (words about feelings/emotions)

I think I was successful because I was able to fix up all my mistakes and I was able to use emotive words.

My next step is to be able to add a counter argument into my persuasive writing.

I learnt that a counter argument is when you think about why your reader will disagree and you give reasons to argue against with.

                                    Plastic bags.

I believe plastic bags are harming the environment. Do you think Kaikohe should become a plastic bag free town?

Have you ever wondered how many marine animals die from plastic bags each year, the answer might shock you. Marine animals get forced to live in a tragic habitat. I researched and found out that up to 100000 marine animals around the world die each year. That's atrocious! I think Kaikohe should become a plastic bag free town because Plastic bags pollute our land and water and Plastic bags are harmful to wildlife and marine life.That's just dreadful!

Furthermore plastic bags should be banned from Kaikohe because Plastic bags are harmful to human health. Did you know because of the destruction plastic bags cause other governments have banned plastic bags.

Plastic bags are not easy to recycle! Did  you know that it is good to recycle because recycling reduces the need for more landfills.I think it's good to recycle because the things we recycle people reuse it to make lots of new things. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste. Added to this solid waste material that ends up in landfills causes air pollution.

In summary I think Kaikohe should become plastic bag free because plastic bags are not easy to recycle and they just get thrown into the landfill. Whoever wants this harmful problem to stop would help the community get rid of all of these plastic bags.

This week Rangimarie and I have been working on a maths DLO on what we learnt about integers. Miss Simeon tought us about integers and we were set off to do a DLO about what we learnt. I think what I found hard was when I had to screencastify the integers DLO. I think we were successful because we were able to be up to date and we finished our screencastify in time.Enjoy.  here is our screencastify

Who knows how to speak maori? Well I've been learning and here is my screencastify about it.

W.A.L.T increase our Te Reo Maori vocabulary. I found pronouncing the Maori words the hardest and what I found easy was making my screencastify.

Who recycles? Its actually good to because there are several reasons why we should start recycling.

WALT use linking phrases between paragraphs to support the development of the text. I am trying to persuade my readers to start recycling because there are several reasons why we need to start recycling because most of our rubbish goes to the landfill.What I found hard was coming up with my ideas and research facts.

I believe that the world is piling up with rubbish. We are ruining the environment. I think it needs to stop right now! Many people are still throwing away all of their rubbish but why? Why would they do that when they can actually recycle their rubbish.

My question is Why don’t people just use the three R’s reuse reduce recycle. I’d rather reduce our rubbish in the world than just letting it increase. It’s just not precise how everyone throws all their rubbish in the landfill instead of recycling it. Don’t deny it we all do it.

One the other hand I think not recycling is wrong because the world could end up being polluted or even worse there would be rubbish scattered everywhere on the ground. That is appalling. For your information I  don’t want that to happen. I found out that whenever rubbish gets into the sea water it forms a monstrous ball of rubbish that goes right down to the bottom of the sea.

Furthermore, I think we should be responsible for our rubbish landfill rather than burning our rubbish at home because I researched and I found out that all of the smoke caused from fires get sent into the sky and space and forms a bigger hole in the ozone layer. I would be a part of the solution, not the pollution. Plus when  I discovered that the Great Pacific garbage patch, also described as the Pacific trash vortex, is a gyre of marine debris particles in the central North Pacific Ocean discovered between 1985 and 1988.

In summary I think we should start recycling because it is important and we should start reducing the amounts of rubbish we throw in the dump.

My goals for 2017.

       

This is my presentation about my learning goals.
I think I was successful because I was able to finish my goals in time for the parent meet and greet.
