Handwriting

At the end of the term we did our handwriting sample. We had our capital and lower case letters and write a sentence about our science fair. What I liked about my handwriting is that it was set out correctly. What I could do better is make it a bit more tidy.

Garden to table

Today we weeded and planted. We planted egg plant, snow peas, pumpkin, basil and parsley. At the end we had a big picnic. There were quiche, kebabs, fitters and coleslaw. My favourite was the fritters and the kebabs. After that we cleaned up all the plates and all the spoons, forks and knives. Here are some photos of us in the garden.

Speach writing

For the last two weeks we have been working on with writing speachs. My topic was Why is pollution bad. We had to present them in front of our class. I think I need to work on saying it even nicer.              Here is my speech.    

Why is pollution bad?Have you ever seen rubbish and picked it up. Pollution is bad because it can kill animals and it can make the river dirty and yuck. The rubbish in the river can go all the way out to sea and then the sea animals eat the rubbish. I think we need to stop polluting now and here is why.

Firstly, pollution is bad for our environment. It can hurt the sea animals like turtles. The turtles are mistaking the plastic as food and eating it. Plastic bags can kill turtles. Plastic can also kill other sea animals. Secondly pollution is not good because people always clean the shore and then people litter again. The wind blows it and it goes into the sea and the animals eats it. The wind also blows it away into a forest where animals mistake it as food.

Finally rubbish gets caught in the wind and the wind blows it into a river or a creek. It makes it all yucky and dirty. There also could be eels or other types of fish in there and the can die because the eat it.

That is why I think that pollution is bad for the enviroment. People need to stop dropping their rubbish as it is killing our animals. So come on people stop polluting!!
