Down the Drain

Down the drain

This is another story we have been reading this week, it’s about how 3 students from Wilford School are trying to make the world a better place, by placing LittaTraps in drains, LittaTraps are traps that makes the water flow into the drain and the rubbish into the filterbag.

This is a LittaTrap…

If you want to know how it works press the picture!

Once a week the same 3 students go back to the LittaTrap and empty it, they also go back to school with the rubbish and sort them out in categories such as hard/soft plastic, food, paper and more.

Did you know?

Parking tickets take 20-30 years to break down in the ocean.

Library receipts take 2-5 months to break down in the ocean.

I found that interesting because they are both paper which I thought it would take the same amount of time to break down.

Footsteps challenge!

Joy and I have been doing a challenge for our home learning the challenge we chose is to 'make a slideshow about New Brighton' and for the past 3 weeks we have been doing that. Here is our slideshow.



                       

Plight of the Sea Turtle

Plight of the Sea Turtle

This story is one of our reading books we have been reading this term. 

This book talks about how Sea Turtles live, how they are important to people and it tells important information about baby Sea Turtles, here are a few questions about the book:

• What I found interesting? 

What I found interesting about the book is how every thousand Turtles that hatch, it's thought that only one makes it to the ocean. I found that interesting and sad at the same time.

•  What I found important?

What I found important about the book is that the Pacific children are trying to save the Sea Turtles by making signs near the beach saying 'HELP INCREASE TURTLE'S NUMBERS' 

• What I found confusing?

What I found confusing about the book is why would the pacific sell the Sea Turtle's shells or their meat, why can't they sell other valuable things like coconuts or their weaving's they make!

• What I found surprising? 

What I found surprising about the book is a Hawksbill Sea Turtle was tracked for 228 days, she visited different island nations, every month. 

That was what I found out about the book 'Plight of the Sea Turtle'.
If you think I need to work on anything tell me!
Thank you.
