Waste Wise

This is my independent topic study. It is about Waste Wise. I am very proud of it. Did you know that every Sunday, more than 500,000 trees are used to produce 88% of newspapers that are never recycled? Read more to find out!

Illness Prevention

Icky, sticky, yucky, coughing, sneezing, and a few sore throats. No one wants to be sick, how do you stop it?

What will happen if you don’t stop these illnesses and how do you get sick? 
Usually people get sick because of a poor lifestyle, rubbing itching eyes, infrequently washing your  hands and  showering. All those will probably lead to illnesses that will stop you from doing the things you like to do. There are lots of things you can do to stop you from getting sick.

From well known remedies and methods to good hygiene. Great remedies include good rest, medicines, and many more steps. Drinking lots of fluids and blowing your nose into a tissue can help slow down the sickness. These steps can help stop some of the common illnesses we face today.

Most of these steps can be really helpful to stop the common influenza. The flu is able to be treated and cured but not in just two hours. You would at least have the flu for about three or four days or more. During seasons like winter or autumn, it is very likely you will become sick with the flu or the cold.

There are a lot of ways to stop illnesses. Most people go to their local doctors to see what they think about your sickness. Most of the time they are very wise.

And remember an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Welcome To Yummy Land!

Save Yummy Land, make a plan.

On Monday Matt and Andy came along to show us the importance of wasting and recycling. They told a story of a land called Yummy Land. 

In Yummy Land there was a worm. His name was Worm. He was very hungry and was looking for food scraps that had been thrown away for worm to eat. But no food was put away for him. Instead the food was put into rubbish bins and the piles of rubbish bags had overgrown. 

Therefore Yummy Land was turned to Stinky Bag City. In the end Worm was saved by a human, Simon. He gave all his leftovers to Worm to eat, his rubbish piles shrunk and Yummy Land was saved.

Visual Arts : Water

My picture is about water, our topic for inquiry and writing. It says H2O which is the scientific word for water. I like my picture because the 2 in the H2O is a faucet. I hope you enjoy it.

The Landing of the Waka!

We are the children of the navigators!

First off I arrived at school and the senior classes were lined up ready to walk. Next we started our adventure with a short walk to the reserve. When Mr Reid said, "Lets Go!” we started our way there. On the way we saw a lot of schools.

Afterwards we got to the reserve and we sat on the bank of the beach. When it was silent we waited quietly for the waka to come. We sang our Maori waiatas and we heard some speeches from the visitors. We were as loud as a lion.

Soon after we high-fived the crew and it was entertaining. We walked back to school and our school was very happy hopefully.

P.E At St Kents

“He’s going around the team’s defence to score a goal… And… Its a goal!”

First of all we lined up ready to go to St Kents, all of us were excited. Next we were separated into nine groups and then we hopped onto the bus. Off we went as we looked forward to our P.E day.

Soon after the bus stopped at the carpark and we disembarked. We were as happy as a big sunflower. At last St Kents’ students came to guide us to the hall. Finally teams were waiting to be taken off to play their sports. Our team was then lead by (insert name here) We arrived at the field and we prepared for some practice drills for soccer. Firstly we set off by passing drills.

After a while we got to play soccer against group six. We lost but it was very fun. When the final score was set we packed the equipment and put it away in the shed. At the carpark we climbed on to the bus back to school.

Dear Diary

Today my homework still isn’t done because stupid Becca won’t do it. At the carpark me and Jack talked about me sleeping over his place. He said it was cool. Brian came over to the basketball court to talk about “bonding”. What a weirdo! I was playing basketball with Jack. Jack saw my bruises getting worse. I hope it gets better. Mum still spends more time with Becca. She also doesn’t know about me going to the carpark with Jack. If dad finds out I’ll get more bruises. I wish dad would get a job and Brian would just move out. But Mum would say something like “No because I want him to stay, blah blah blah.”

She is so lame. By the time the bell rang to go home, I sped as fast as a bullet, at least I thought I did. My mind just blanked out and I was stuck in thought, I felt like everyone was looking at me even if they weren’t. Everyday I get more nervous and depressed. It’s like mum doesn’t care about me anymore. I don’t love my dad nor hate him. I am hoping my life will be wonderful than ever before.
