Collage

In  class we have been doing work  on a collage which is based on plastic.  We had to watch a video about plastic and how it is bad  for the environment. We made some sea animals to stick on our collage and we added some  plastic bits and some  pieces to stick on. We found it hard when we had to draw the sea animals.  Next time we could try and find a more easy picture to draw. The animals have good impact because of all of the bright colours and  we could  put a dark colour around the animals to make them stand out.

 

Maths DLO

In class we have been doing maths DLO's and we had to create questions around double number lines  of some things we are learning to do. Jake  Lochie and I did a DLO and we had to read some slides our teacher gave us .  Here is our DLO.

Persuasive Writing

In class we have been learning to do persuasive writing so we had to write a persuasive letter to our principal and it was about the plastic bin liners in the bins in the classrooms. We had to use present tense, we had to have three reasons why and we had to organise your ideas in paragraphs. Here is my letter.

Dear Mrs Wallace,

I’m writing to you about the plastic bin liners in the rubbish bins in the classrooms. I think that we should stop using them. Here are three good reasons why.

Firstly, every year we use 2,000 clear rubbish plastic bin liners. That is lots of money and we could save all of your money if we didn’t use bin liners in the school.

Secondly, after school the bin liners are just put in big black rubbish bags and then thrown away into the rubbish. There is no point  having plastic bin liners because we could just put the rubbish straight in the black bag also they should be banned in the school.

Finally, we only need plastic bin liners for wet things because if we don’t use bin liners for wet things then it will make the bins dirty because the wet things will dry and then the wet things will stick to the bin and then it will ruin the bin. With dry rubbish it won’t ruin the bin because it won’t stick to the bin.         

In conclusion, remember that we don’t need bin liners for the bins in the classrooms because we use 2,000 a year. After school they are just put in big black bags which we don’t need and we only need the bin liners for wet things!       

Yours sincerely,

 Angus

  

The Plastic Mountain

In class we have been learning to describe when we get given a photo to describe and we had to pretend we were one of the people in the picture. We have to use  present tense and extend our sentences with more detail. We used our senses to describe sights, sounds, smells, feelings and sensations. Here is my writing and the picture we were describing.


 The Plastic Mountain
Another day at work sorting out empty plastic bottles and putting them in different  baskets on top of this big mountain. Crunch, crunch, crunch, I keep stepping on bottles  and it hurts because  some bottles don’t have bottle caps on them. I really don’t like to do this but I have to or I won’t get any food, water or money. I do not like this because  it smells gross and I do not want to do this because I have to cut  labels off plastic bottles and  it is very boring. There's so many bottles and I have to  cut  off  all of these labels. This is going to be so boring to do. 
I just wish I could afford to have a have a house but unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy one. I have to sleep on this big mountain of plastic bottles and it is not soft it is very hard.

El Gregoe

On September 4 2018  a magician and ventriloquist come to our school. His name was El Gregoe. He performed some illusions on us that were very cool. He told us about bullying and he also told us to use your wits which stands for walk away, ignore, talk and stop and walk away. I learned to stop bullying and just get on with it. My favourite part was when El Gregoe made my friend float.
