Water filters

This week we were making Water filters l was working with Aung Naing, Karlos and Joel. We made a DLO that explained about water filters and people who don´t get clean water. We were creating our Water filters to find out how to turn dirty water into clean water by using our own ideas and things to make one so we can find out how we can make dirty turn into clean water. We created our own plan that had some ideas of what we could do then we draw what we wanted it to look like. We cut a whole bottle into half then we added chuxs cloth at the cap part where the water was going to come out of to stop the dirty and sand.

Advertising

This week we were learning about Advertising me and my partner Angela created it. Advertising is where you try and convince someone to buy a product you are trying to sell. We used a item from the Rugby World Cup website to advertise something. We chose the 20 union cap because it had all 20 countries who are attending the Rugby World Cup 2019. To make it look more Advertising me added more quotes and different shaped. Like adding in a quote saying don't know what team to support buy the 20 union cap. I enjoyed learning about Advertising because it could help me in the future if l want to sell something.

Explanation : Should NZ ban plastic straws

Plastic straws we all have heard this before either on the News, or just seeing a random video showing animals suffer because of our plastic that gets into seas. I want to tell you that plastic straws should be banned in my opinion because they are harming our sea animals did you know that it takes 500 years to break down straws and they will remain in our seas for 2000 years if this doesn stop. 

Most plastic straws are thrown away and perhaps always find their way into our seas.
Believe me or not our sea animals shouldn’t suffer because of the disgusting actions made
by us humans that’s why   i think we should ban straws. Have you ever wondered how plastic
gets to animals. Most plastic gets inside the sea thru pipes and throwing plastic on the ground
in our environment this makes everything worse because the straws or anything could just get
easily inside our seas. 

Our seas could be ruined and destroyed by just plastic because of us humans for throwing our
plastic on the ground. Banning straws would surely be for the best we have brought in metal
straws and to be honest we don't need straws anyways some people would just drink out of
the cup, instead of using the actual straw. Most straws are thrown away after one use of it which
shouldn't happen, do you like seeing our animals suffering. 

Our animals should not suffer in my opinion because i wouldn't want no animals in this world
and most of all sea animals which we love. Banning plastic straws will decrease the amount
of plastic over the years that come which would help a lot because it can cause pollution to
our oceans if we don't get ride of straws. 

I have made my opinion that we should ban straws and hope you save our sea animals
from dying from our actions which is throwing our plastic around and ruining our environment
for wildlife and sea animals.  

Phonics

This week we were writing paragraphs starting with the letter ap. First we tried to look for words that had ap inside of them then we had to find the ap inside of the beginning and end. Then we had to three word from the dictionary that began with cap. After that we find other ap words that had ing or ed inside of them. My favorite part about phonics this week was doing the evaluation which was reading the story and answering questions that went with the story.
