The Fantastic Week 10

 This week is fun and exciting, lots of stuff has happened. On the first day, we were not doing any priorities and we were moving all the furniture into the hall. We took all the furniture and left nothing, I didn't know why we were moving to the hall but I soon realized that their was some builders in mlh (moana learning hub), People told me that mlh was going to be renovated.

On the second day, we went to pihitia station to see what they did to make money, set traps and shear sheep. When we were at school a bus came, we walked in and the bus driver drove us their. When we got there we got out of the bus and walked into the farm, we met some people, they told us the safety rules and what not to do. Then they showed us how to round up sheep, we start out walking along the corners and made them run into the other paddocks, when we got them in they were weighed.

After that, a woman got two dogs and made them round up the sheep, then we went to a tv with a drone camera someone drove the drone and found a dummy under a quad bike, I knew it wasn't a dummy so I told him "this is not a real person." and then he told us that it was a set up and he showed us some gadgets. After we had some food and we went to another room where someone told us about all the pests in nz and he showed us some traps And one even had a rabbit and a mouse in it.

Finally we went to our final destination the butchery, where we saw how they cut up meat and how much money they got. The butcher told us all about meat and what was the most expensive, He told us he was a butcher for 40 years! When we went in to the bus and we got back to school. It was interesting to see what they did at Pihitia farm.

The Fantastic Week 9

 This week at ltp (learning through play) I went to planet construction with Ben. First we came out of our classes, we got in and sat patiently, then we went to play. We used some plastic things and they slipped together, it was pretty fun and Ben made a totem of undying from minecraft but he said it was a better version of it. It had four arms with emerald eyes it was just like a normal one except it looked different

Then Noa made cubes made of purple pieces, They had holes through them so Noa put them on his fingers like rings, and Tay was also making a totem of undying too, but his was the normal one. Then Ben hit it which made its head come of, I got it and gave it to someone. I was making a long green line using the pieces and I put them into Ben's one, and it made it huge. Also when he tilted it to the side it slowly fell over.

After we were talking and Ben built a pedestal for his totem of undying so it wouldn't fall over, and for style.

Ben was really impressed with his creation, it was pretty good. Tay's totem of undying was really good too,

Noa's rings were almost longer than his fingers. Finally we were going to pack up so we put our stuff in the wip (work in progress) corner and we packed up. It was fun playing with Ben, so we went back to our classes.

 Why is littering so bad: Littering is not good because it makes local parks and cities look unclean, and it is harmful to wildlife. Litter can also end up in the ocean, which can be extremely harmful to marine life. most societies believe it is wrong to litter so you could pay a fine. Littering can also decrease land and marine animals. Also if you burn litter like plastic it could make a smoke toxic to you and other animals which could also decrease the animal population. 82

who do you think is responsible for picking up litter, and why: I think that we should all pick up rubbish and we shouldn't litter too, if we pick up rubbish and don't litter we could save lots of different species from extinction. If you drop rubbish make sure you remember to pick it up and put it in the trash bin. 50

where would you like to organise a litter pick up in your local area, and why: I would like to organise it in town because lots of people go there, and there would probably be lots of rubbish around. I would also want to have one on the beach so rubbish doesn't go in the ocean because it could help the environment. Also it helps balance the amount of rubbish. 53

how could people be encouraged to litter less in your local area: We could encourage them by telling them what could happen if we continue to litter then they might understand and they will spread the word about the risks or littering and it might even be spread around the globe. We could also have prizes for the cleanest cities, It would help a lot.53
