Comic Book Making

Kia ora,
Today we created our own comics after reading 'The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors'. We had to choose either to create a comic using two characters from the book or use two other classroom tools. The items had to duel each other and one would have to win. I choose paper and a pencil to duel each other. Here is my comic.

An Environmental Plastic Problem in Schools The word environmental means it is relating to the natural world. Plastic is a synthetic material made from a range of organic substances such as polyethylene, nylon, etc. The word problem means a situation needing to be dealt with. One problem the schools in the industry have are plastic wrappers flying to a faraway land, in other words the sea and farms. One way to stop this plastic problem is to take containers with food in in them not plastic wrapped food. Containers are to be used more than once so, instead of having plastic wrapped food in your lunchbox everyday you can use your container each day instead, don’t forget to wash it after school! At home say you had a little packet of chips, open the chip packet, put the chips in a container, put the rubbish in the bin and boom problem solved, now your plastic packet won’t be dropped on the ground at school and fly to the faraway land I talked about before. If you have plastic in your lunchbox remember to always put it back in your lunchbox. Some kids can open plastic wrapping at school, eat whatever the food is inside the wrapper, put the wrapper in their pocket and go off to play on the playground then, the wrapper falls out of their pocket and gets swept up by the wind into the drains and goes out to the ocean where the sealife can eat it. Always put your rubbish in your lunchbox. To help your schools rubbish problem go around with a recyclable bag picking up all the rubbish you see. This can be a big help to the environment, sealife and farm animals because if the sealife and farm animals eat it they can simply die within a couple of hours. The plastic problem in schools is increasing slowly because of the big habit plastic has become to us humans. That's how plastic is a problem in schools.

Grandparent Writng

Hello,
This Friday at Ohaeawai School is Greats and Grands Day. This day is when every student invites one of their grandparents and their grandparents get to see what the students have been learning about. We wrote two pieces of writing an explanation piece of writing and a piece of creative writing. The explanation writing is about a problem that grandparents might be facing because of aging. The creative piece of writing is about your grandparents and how much you love them! Here is my writing.

Grandparents not being able to interact with other family members

A grandparent is a mother or father who has had a baby and the baby of the mother or father has had a baby. Aging is the process of a person growing older and more fragile. This so called ‘aging’ is a problem for people growing older and one of those problems are not being able to interact with other family members.

Firstly, grandparents may have a problem that prevents them from hearing or seeing their family members at important moments. The grandparent could talk to one of their family members and go get the problem fixed.

Secondly, grandparents can live far away from others important to them, one grandparent could live in London and the grandchild could live in New Zealand. To prevent this problem both of the family members could write to one another each week like writing buddies.

Finally, grandparents sometimes don’t interact enough with their grandchildren, the grandchild could be playing on his or her phone all day when they are with their grandparent, how would you feel if you were the grandparent then? Now it’s up to the grandchild to do things that you and your grandparent can do together like gardening.

Family members are important to grandparents and not being able to interact with you can be a problem to them, so take on my ideas and be a good family member!

สวัสดี, (Hello in Thai)
Today I am having a boring day at home, well actually Mum and I are going out to Kerikeri to have a operation done on my adult k-nine tooth that is to far forward behind the gum. I am not looking forward to my operation but, I am having a funny juice that makes me feel like everything's fine but it isn't.

Well hello, 
As you may know I have been learning SPANISH! It is very easy to learn surprisingly. I thought it was going to be hard. I've decided to learn Spanish because if I go to Springbank School I have will have lessons on Spanish! Here is my sentence in Spanish:
Spanish: Soy Louis y como pescado.
English: I am Louisa and I eat fish.
Bye!
