The last week of school

The last week of school is always the best week and the worst week. The reason it’s the best week is because most people like just relaxing and being able to do whatever. The reason it’s the worst week is because you have to say goodbye to your teacher witch can be very hard at times. You also have to let go of the best times you have had in the year. You also have to say bye to all the people in the last year of your school. I knew more Year Sixes than Year Fives. So this year has been one of the best years ever. I wish this year would never end.

3D shapes



These are the 3D shapes we have been doing for last week. We learnt how to fold paper (with or without steps) in a way to make shapes like the ones above. Then we identified the features of the shapes, such as how many corners, how many edges, and how many faces. The cone has 2 faces, 1 corner and 1 edge.The triangular based prism has 4 faces, 4 corners and 6 edges.
 


dave dobbyn


This is one of the passport tasks I did. It took half an hour and was worth 30 points. It was about Dave Dobbyn Who was a very famous NZ artist in 1970s- 2005. And and the task was to present a slide about an artist/ band from the past. So I made this.

Why people should stop cutting trees

A Lot of people just hate it when other people cut trees when they don't even need wood!! People can understand that other people cut them for houses but that is the main point to cut trees otherwise just stop doing it. I believe that if we stop cutting trees the world would be a better place.
Pollution is also known as global warming which is very bad for the environment, animals and people. If we stop polluting the earth, the earth will become a better place.

The way pollution related to cutting trees is that with less trees there will be less fresh oxygen for us, as we all know that trees breathe in carbon dioxide while breathe out oxygen. The more trees exist the less serious pollution it will be. The trees are fighting the pollution to make the world a better place so stop cutting trees and help make the earth a better place.
If we stop cutting trees, animals will have more homes. Animals like orangutans live in the rainforest where there is a hotspot for lumberjacks and other companies that cut trees which has taken away orangutans homes. They are dying of habitat loss. This is another reason to stop cutting trees.
From here we can see there causes so many problems from cutting trees. I strongly believe that we should stop cutting trees.














How to be safe in water

Being safe in water is very important. Due to the fact that people are not swimming in the flags more and more people are drowning. I believe that we should swim in the flags so we can be water safe. Remember if lifeguards can’t see you, they can’t save you.

Currents. Now this is a problem. If you get caught in a current then it is practically impossible to swim out of! The lifeguards have jet skies to come and save you but if you don’t swim out of the flags, they won't have to come and save you. If you don’t know what a current is don’t worry I’ll tell you. A current is a strong bit of water that can pull you out to sea. So it’s quite scary to get caught in one but if you swim in the flags you won’t get caught in the current.
Waves, now, is another problem. Waves can push you under the water and pin you down. Most beaches are safe beaches and have normal size waves but some beaches are surf beaches. Surf beaches, if you didn't know, are beaches that have big waves. Now you may be thinking

‘So they are still beaches so we can swim whereever we want to’ but you are wong. Surfers need big waves to surf and if you think ‘ they can surf on small waves’ you’re wong. If you swim anywhere on a surf beach you might get hit by a surfboard witch would be bad. So if you swim in the flags you will be safe.




If you swim in between the flags you would be safe from currents, big waves, and stuff like that. There are no strong waves and no rips (AKA currents). Safety is a key thing at the beach. Sometimes there are no lifeguards at beaches because it is not a surf beach. But 9 times out of 10 at a surf beach there will be lifeguards.





As a result of not swimming in between the flags you could get injured or even worse drown. Being safe in water is very important. So swim in the flags to be safe waves.
