Collage

We were learning about plastic and how it kills the sea environment. We made a collage with ripped up pieces from OLD magazines! We drew our animals and then we had a choice of  painting or using some pastels to colour our animals. I found that sticking the animals on our collage was hard and also starting off on putting the ripped magazines on.

On our collage we have stuck on a humpback whale, a tropical basking fish, a crayfish, a dolphin and two penguins.  The colours that we used for the humpback whale were blue and black, the colour we used for the crayfish was orange,the colours we used for the tropical basking fish were yellow, orange, black, red, blue and green. The colours for the dolphin were light blue, dark blue and also black.                                                

Our contents were the beach, the ocean and the sky. We also had an island, a cliff with a water, a sun and mountains. I think it was not hard but took a big period of time to get it finished. I liked making the collage and thought it was fun and also I liked how we had to collaborate in groups.

                                                                 

Bin liners

We have been learning to persuade. We were trying to persuade our school principal to stop using bin liners because we use 2000 a year! We had to use present tense instead of using past tense words like was and were. Here is my persuasive writing, hope it will get you to get rid of bin liners. 

bin liners

In every classroom in our school there are plastic bin liners and we’re just using too many. Do we really need bin liners? I strongly believe that we do not need bin liners. There are three good reasons why I believe that we do not need bin liners.

Firstly, we did the maths, and we use 2000 plastic bags in a year! If we stop using plastic bags then we might be able to use less plastic. Well, we all know the plastic problem, plastic is taking over the Earth, and if we stop using plastic bin liners then we will be able to save our planet for a little bit longer. We use 10 plastic bags a day, we use 50 plastic bin liners a week, 500 a term and 2,000 a year!

Secondly,we don’t really need bin liners because all the rubbish that goes in is dry. Most of the rubbish we use is paper (which is dry) or small pieces of plastic like glad wrap. Well, my point is that most of the rubbish that goes into the bin is dry! Why do we need a bin liner if everything is dry? What is the point of a bin liner? We don’t have a use for bin liners except to waste money, it costs so much money to buy all these bin liners.

Lastly, plastic bin liners cause pollution. It will kill sea life, animals that walk on land (including us) and the animals that roam the skies. We are just helping humanity turn our planet into a trash heap. We need to stop using plastic bin liners, because do they really do anything good? Just think about it, 2,000 plastic bin liners in just a year! When we put up posters or signs then we are protesting against what were doing.

In conclusion, we use 2000 plastic bags a year, we don’t really need them because everything that goes in is dry, and still the most important thing of all is that it causes pollution. So please stop letting others use bin liners at this school.

Serpent Stop Motion Animation 3

A while ago I posted number one and two of The Serpent stop motion animation, and now I'm back for number three! For the next time I think I should add more dialogue and make the main character walk into the distance instead of just walking across the screen. Here is number three, hope you like this series of stop motion animations.

Maths dlo

We have been learning to use double number lines. We made a math's slideshow with three problems that we had to figure out using a double number line. Double number lines are a great way to solve problems for me because I seem to find this all rather easy.  I made a slideshow with Blake, here it is.

El Gregoe

On Tuesday El Gregoe the magician came to our school. He told us about bullying, and how to react to it. He told us that we should treat others how we want to be treated. My favourite topic was when he made tropical birds come out of thin air. Here are some pictures of El Greogoe.
