Collage

Collage
In  class during topic we have been working on a collage which was based on plastic. We had to watch a video about plastic and on how bad it is for the  environment. We had to made our collage so it had a lot of impact and caught everyone's eye. We think our group worked well together and we think we did an even amount of work each on our collage . We thought that finding the colours like yellow, blue, grey and pink out of the magazine was the hardest part. We also think that we caught everyone's eyes.

Persuasive letter

 In class during  writing  we have been learning to do  persuasive writing. We had to persuade  our principal to stop using plastic bin liners for the classroom bins. We had to make sure that we had three reasons why we think we don't need plastic bin liners. We also had to make sure that we started  our paragraphs with firstly, secondly and finally. Here is my writing.

Dear Mrs Wallace

At Awahono School we use a lot of plastic bin liners a year.  I think we should stop using some of the bin liners. Here are three reasons why I think we should stop using bin liners.


Firstly, Awahono School uses more than ten bin liners a day and we don’t even need ten because  all we put in them is dry paper and and plastic. We also spend a lot of money  on plastic bin liners  a year. We use ten plastic bin liners a day, fifty a week, five hundred  a term and two thousand a year!


Secondly, at the end of the day the plastic bags are just tied and put into the big black rubbish bag. I think we should stop using the bin liners 
because  we can just tip the rubbish into the big bag. It is also better for the environment because  there will not as much plastic polluting our land and seas if we stop using some of the bin liners.

Finally, we only need plastic bin liners for the wet rubbish like milk cartons and half empty yogurt containers.   We only need them for the wet rubbish  because  it  will stain the metal bin and the dry rubbish can’t stain the bin because it’s not wet!

In conclusion, I think Awahono School should stop using plastic bin liners for the dry rubbish and help the environment by using less plastic bin liners!


Yours sincerely,
Lachlan

Maths DLO

In class we had been using double number lines. We had to draw one in our maths book and then use it to figure out our fraction questions. We had to make a DLO and use the double number lines to figure out three  questions. I think the double number line helps me a lot with my learning. Here is our DLO!๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

He came to teach us what to do if we are getting bullied, he also did some magic tricks and some illusions. He told us the five steps which are Respect, Helpful, Trustworthy, Responsible and Caring.
