On Monday Te Ngahere was visited by Libby Bowles. She explained to us about why we should stop using plastic and what she works as. She showed us many photos about what she does and what she has seen. We also went for a little walk to find and pick up rubbish around our school. She also talked to us about many sea animals that she works with like Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. Libby was very helpful and was enjoyable to have her in with us.

Creative Writing
Two week ago in Te Ngahere we created a creative piece of writing. The language features I use was Onomatopoeia. What I think I did well was writing all of the poems and the haiku's and what I think I could work on is to use more onomatopoeia in other pieces of writing and learn more about haiku's and other types of poems.
Haiku
It harms animals
Let's Reduce Reuse Recycle
If not life will die
Acrostic Poem
Recycling is important
Everyone needs to recycle
Cans and more can harm animals
Your child or you could harm any of these animals
Common fish that you know could die
Littering is bad
It can also kill you
Not all people do this
Go out there and do the best that you can to stop this
Limerick
Rubbish is in the sea
Save our planet let it be
There is rubbish around you
This is not a lie it is true
We should stop this you and me
Onomatopoeic Poem
Crunch, munch, crush,
The rubbish goes crunch
The rubbish goes munch
The rubbish goes crush
In the cow's mouth
Poems with a Twist
People picking up rubbish
People using energy
People trying to help save animals
But still rubbish on this planet
Cinquain
Pollution
Endangered animals
It is disgusting
No one likes it
People caring for our planet
Saving and caring for our animals

Plastic bags
Should Plastic Bags be used at Supermarkets?
Would you prefer having plastic bags that float in our seas and harm our sea life or would you have paper bags that waste a lot of energy and time cutting down trees and taking away some habitats from animals in the forest. In this piece of persuasive writing I will be explaining why people should be using reusable bags. Plastic bags are killing our sea life and harming most of them. Dolphins are getting stuck in between plastic bags and turtles are eating them because they think that they are jellyfish. As we can tell the difference between a plastic bag and a jelly fish, a turtle can’t tell the difference.
Plastic bags that are sent to the landfill take up lots of space because they can’t photodegrade because they are buried under lots of rubbish so they can’t break up into pieces. Since plastic bags are made from oil in the future there might not be anymore oil left in the world so eventually they are going to stop making plastic bags or they are going to find another material to make plastic bags. Paper bags are made from trees. People should stop making paper bags because if we have less trees there will be less oxygen in the world.
Also you are taking some of the animals homes away from them and they could dy from any animals that want to eat them. For all of these reasons we should be using reusable bags in supermarkets so you are not harming our sea life.
Last week in Te Naghere we started our persuasive writing about plastic bags. We started this writing because we learnt about what's happening with plastic bags and how the are affecting the planet and killing animals. We were learning to use the structure of a persuasive piece of writing. What I did well was that I evidenced some of my goals and what I needed to improve is that I need to make it more descriptive.

Visual Mihi
During the week we have been understanding our morning mihi. We had to manage ourselves into groups of three to practise the mihi in front of each other. Once we did that we had to create a google drawing to remind us about what the mihi means with images. These images help us to remember the morning mihi if we ever forget it. I chose these images because it reminds me about what the mihi means and what it is about. Every single image is representing a part of the mihi. What we were trying to learn is understanding the mihi.
