Inquiry: DARE | Impact Message

This term, our focus for inquiry is DARE. It is a program that allows children to learn the dangers, and consequences of drug and alcohol use. Yesterday, Constable Cyrus came into our class to give us extra information about the use of them. We want to give a big thanks to Constable Cyrus for going out of his way to help us. This week, our challenge to alert others about these dangers was to create a DLO that showed what could potentially happen as a result of using drugs or alcohol. For this task, I worked with Alex and Jack, and we created a poster warning people about the dangers of drunk driving. On our DLO's we needed a strong message that would persuade people to think twice about driving drunk or using drugs. Our message was "Don't be like this guy, make a choice... Make the right choice..." We thought this was a strong message, and would work well.

Kiwi Can

Yesterday we went to Kiwi Can and I had a lot of fun the first thing we did was learn our new theme and topic our new theme is cooperation and the topic was communication then we went outside and played a game called A and B so in this game we go outside and we selected two people in our minds and we weren't allowed to tell the A or B person that they were our A or B. You also have to follow the A and stat as far away as you can from your B person. Then we went back inside a was talking about cooperation we were talking about what we need to have to have a good conversation with another person then we went back outside to play a game called Magic shoes this was a teamwork game so you have to choose a person to carry another person across than once two people go across the toxic lake and then they all need to get magic shoes but they have to be touching you and they can't be touching the ground.

Wildboy Brando Yelavich





Today we were making a DLO about a man who traveled the coastline of New Zealand he was a really brave man and now there is a book about him that showed how brave he was and the reason he did that. The reason he did the walk was because he wanted to do a very big fundraise and to find himself with this journey.

Plastic Corruption


Plastic is the kryptonite to our Superman the Earth. It is like the Joker to our
Batman what I am trying to say is that plastic is the worst thing that I know of and
thank the lord that we are trying to phase them out.


It is destroying the world and the sea creatures. There is one thing out of all the
plastic that is the worst and that is plastic bags the kill turtles because they are
mistaken for jellyfish and the kill reefs by sucking the food out of the witch is are
and blocks them from the fresh supply of air. They are kill thing left and right.
Since we were the ones who created plastic and plastic bags we are the ones to
blame while people are trying to rid the world and the sea of plastic there are still
some that are don’t give a cear in the world and just throw their rubbish anywhere.


Some people are trying to help like scientist there were some scientist that were
trying to clean up space and the ocean did you someone created a vacuum for
the sea so it floats around and then it sucks up some of the rubbish floating
around out at sea. I know there is a lot of rubbish in space because of use and
our bad habits this is the reason why a lot of or food suce is also wasted because
some fish can eat plastic and is can release toxins into the fish’s body and that
makes us not allowed to eat some population of the fish.


Because we are doing these things it makes it hard for the marine animals to
survive they salvage the sea for and mistaken the rubbish for food and before
they know it they are suffocating just because they thought they finally found
some food. We all need to start pulling our weight and help keep our world clean
with no rubbish floating out at sea or drifting away in space.


What I am talking about is just don’t throw your rubbish on the ground but throw it
in the bin so nothing is getting harmed and so our super man can get back to it full
strength and help the human rasic stay alive.
