 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

The Fantastic Week 8

This week I have been doing some interesting stuff, this week I went to the online chess tournament, it was very fun. First we had to get onto it, so we spent some time signing in and Koka Ngaire said to me I owed her a chocolate fish for her helping me sign in. After, we signed in I was challenged by someone, I joined and then the match started. 

I started out moving my pawns then it was my opponent's turn they took a while to move, so I waited, and waited until they got stuck in a corner. I was excited, it was kind of easy, so next round I was hoping for a harder opponent. It wasn't long until the next opponent came.

A few hours later I had got four wins, that was when Oliver's dad bought us some pizza we were very happy and we ate and played until the pizza was gone. Finally after that, we took the desks back into their class and went back to our classes. It was fun playing chess and it was also very interesting.

Cross country

It was the day we had cross country and I was pumped. I was waiting for my race.  First the year sixes went they were really swift, they zoomed past the finish line.

Then the year fives went, my friend Ben was a year five so he went. When he ran I was proud of him. After a long time of waiting it was my turn to race I was excited, then it was time to race.

First I got ready then I was off, zooming across the course. I was running with excitement, but was it enough to keep me going I thought, I was half way through so I had a jog and I ran with Jackson, "Wait up." sighed Jackson.  We were going out of the sand and onto the grass. everyone cheered, "Go, go, go!"  It gave me courage to keep on going. Also Jackson's parents were cheering too,"Go Jackson!"said his parents with glee.  I was extremely close to the finish line, I was almost there.  Jackson said we should run down the big dip, we were exhausted so we jogged to Koka Terri and then we ran down a dip. We were at the finish line and it was time to do lap two, I was tired so I walked.  Jackson was catching up with me, we were going very fast to the finish line, we could smell it. 

Finally we made it and finished it I was extremely exhausted.

The end.
