Collaboration

Some amazing collaboration happening today. We have begun planning our own pick a path stories and used this opportunity to fine tune our group collaboration work. It was amazing to see everyone taking their turn to speak and listening to each other ideas before compromising.

Double Entry Journal

In the text it says….	My connection….
Created handstand	I can do handstands its hard
Crazy ideas	I went on top taj and jaris house
Does Not answer the door	I don't open the door because I'm getting the dubs
Filled with the noise of grandpa	I always hear my brother yelling
I will bike over right now	I bike to my friend's house
But I'm tired	I am tired right now

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch- Jari

the great pacific garbage patch

We have been learning about the gpgp it was hard but I liked it. and we are learning about it because we are a enviroschool.

The Great Pacific garbage patch is 3 times the size of France and Hawaii is the neighbor of gpgp It was only discovered and 1993. The gpgp is made up of rubbish and old waste that has washed into the ocean.





The Great Pacific garbage patch is made out of Rubbish and large objects and the Boat men Think it is an island. The rubbish comes from the whole world.

 

What does it do to the animals It is killing animals Because they are eating the Rubbish they are getting stuck in it. The poor Turtles Plastic bag is jellyfish And eat it and die

Once there were 2 little kids named Tom and Bob
 They didn't like their friends because they used Tom and Bob. they called them bullies, one day the bullies chased Tom and Bob down a large creek and they heard stories about the creek. There was a story about this lonely kid and he was sad and he you down the creek and he never came out again. But Tom and Bob had no choice and they went down the creek they were scared to go down in the creek but they did to get away from the bullies. They got lost and they were scared they needed to get home but they could not find a way out. They tried and tried but they could not find a way out. But suddenly they saw a shadow,

The tree monster doesn't want then it is home, Tom and Bob tried to get away but the tree monster was angry and did not let them go, and Tom and Bob were never seen again.

Double Entry Journal- Kohen

Double Entry Journal

In the text it says….	My connection….
He created handstands	I can do one it is hard
Crazy ideas	Jumped off the roof of my house
Doesn’t open the door if someone is there	Want to play my ps4
Soccer	I did play soccer
It’s not the time to remind him	Sometimes I don’t remind people
But I’m tired	I’m pretty tired sometimes

W.A.L.T make connections. For this week we have been reading a book called The duel why I like the book is because the story is of space and because of the old man that pretty much invented everything. Why I don't like the story is that the house looks scary.

Seaweek

For seaweek this week we have been working with Mrs Walklin on the theme of "Tiakina o Tātou Mōana – Caring for our Seas" 

As a class we pretended to be different sea creatures and wrote letters to humans explaining our problem. Here is an amazing example of a letter written by Quaid

Dear Humans 

Don’t be lazy and pick up your rubbish and others rubbish because there is a truck load of rubbish getting dumped in the ocean each minute.

My brother is sick from all the germs and my other brother was killed by the all the rubbish and here is what I mean.

 

This what I mean about you need to pick up rubbish and it's horrible to swim and don’t litter. Rubbish is getting into the ocean by getting blowed to the gutter and then the rain comes and takes it to the drain and that it goes to the ocean.I like eating selp now i’m eating plastic bags because I can’t tell the difference.
