reycling

Did u know that instead of buying plastic bags  just save them because if you throw them away then u will make the environment disgusting looking. Also they will kill little sea animals like for example seabirds and turtles get  trapped in plastic bags and can die.

The little turtles will get trapped inside the plastic bags when they fly around and float to the soft sand .

Why we need to recycle ?

The little sea birds will die and normal birds will die because 90 percent of them have plastic inside them . Some of the rubbish in new zealand had been buried, they dug a hole and put 2.5 million tonnes of rubbish in it . It will be yuk if some of the builders will find 2.5 million tonnes of rubbish when they are trying to build a house for homeless people.

Americas cup slide

WALT -  about the Americas cup

Boat writing , and drawing

So it was Monday morning in Room 9.  Miss Spies was talking to the class about the America's cup, she was also telling us that America was losing for a boat race, and NZ was winning by 1 point. She said that we needed 7 points to win .Then she was telling us that we were going to do a boat race but  we are going to make it. She said  that we can only use cardboard , tin foil , scissors , and tape , . Then we got into groups of two, I had kayle in my group.

We put cardboard at the bottom and tin foil at the top but cardboard was weak against water but tin foil was waterproof.  We made it like a square , we also folded  the sides  of our boat so it looked like a raft but with folded sides .

When it was Tuesday we did the testing. Miss spies put weights on our boats in a bucket of water. We tested it out and our one lost because we put tin foil at the top , me and kayle thought that we were going to win but we didn't. Curtis and Shacon won the boat race. We saw the results on our class site and me and Kayle came second place  in the boat race. When I saw that I was petrified  because i thought that we would have come 10th place but we did not  .

WALT- organise our writing .
