Should New zealand Ban plastic straws

Today we were debating on whether we ban plastic straws or we keep plastic straws. My partner was
Te Pounamu and while we were looking at the suffering creatures we understood that there are things that are harming the marine life. Plastic straws can get stuck in turtle's noses and in bird's mouths, not only do they biodegrade into harmful microscopic pieces of plastic get stuck in animal's stomachs, plastic releases toxins that can pollute lakes and and the ground. That's why I don't think we should have plastic straws anymore, paper and bamboo ones are far better for the environment.

Tech

Today at tech we were cooking fish cakes and they were nice for a while then the taste of the fish got boring and the only thing that made me go for more was the spice of the fish and to be honest it was kind of nice and that was surprising because I don't like seafood that much. My favorite cooking session would have to be when we cooked chop suey that was really fun and nice. It was boring sometimes because we weren't cooking it was fun for a little while then got boring because of the paperwork but I just want to thank all the teachers for teaching us and also a big thanks to Miss heka because she took time out of looking after her child to teach us how cook so thank you to all the teachers at tamaki college. 

Persuasive Writing

Writing Frame for organising a Persuasive Speech


LI: To write a speech and persuade others to think the way you do.





Just imagine in 5-7 years the Earth would be uninhabitable due to all the pollution in the air.

Hello my name is Julian and I believe that eco friendly cars should be the only cars that

inhabit the roads for a better future, for the earth, mankind and also for all the children who are

still to come (in the future) . If this were to happen it would restore my faith in mankind.





According to my calculations, about 40% of the world owns gasoline run cars and that is the

reason the earth is being corrupted. Some people are suffering because of all of the

pollution in the air and all that pollution is from our creations of cars that are ruining the earth.

The internet states that India has the most pollution in the world. In 2018 Gurugram was known

worldwide as the most polluted place on the planet because of the use of a lot of steam

engines and non environmentally friendly cars that pollute the Earth.





The oil that cars use sometimes get shipped and the ship sometimes crash, the oil cause

harm to fish, birds, penguins and other marine creatures. It could also endanger the physical

health of anyone because of the chemicals that the oil contains.





We have neglected, we have rejected and we have been in denial. We neject to think we were

wrong, stick to our own knowledge because no matter what you think all humans are a bit

stubborn, a bit selfish and a bit greedy.





Yeah I know cars help us with day to day jobs and work, but just think for a while if the earth

had feelings how would it feel? If we go to the future and don’t change our ways what would

the earth look like? How do you think we could make a change?

Swimming

At swimming we were learning how to swim in a river to protect us while swimming, it's so we don't end up killing ourselves by accident. Would you rather have a broken foot or a broken head was the quotation we were asked at the end of the lesson. After we learnt how to swim in the water, we were asked to swim around the pool numeris times but with different styles of swimming. I found this quite fun as there are a large majority of swimming styles that I could use in different situations.

   

Tech: Returning To Tech For Term 3

Today we had our first session of tech for term 3 this year. Unfortunately Miss Heka was not here today so instead Miss Elice was here to give us worksheets to fill out. The worksheet was about Greece and the history of food there. We started by reading a few pages that gave us a bunch of information about the topic. Then we got our first few questions. After that there were a few pages which all contained a word find. That was as far as we got into the worksheets, there were still a few pages remaining, but I managed to complete 1 word find in the time we were given. Although we couldn't do cooking I still had fun
