Aaron's Great Pacific Garbage Patch Writing

we have been learning to put information( not too much) into the paragraphs. I enjoyed it because we got to go onto a whole bunch of sights

We are the problem of the great pacific garbage patch (g.p.g.p.) we all use rubbish unless we get it fresh from the fields or wherever you get them. The g.p.g.p is huge and scientists (or people who want to be a part of the cleanup) have been looking at ways to remove the g.p.g.p




Scientists have estimated that in 2050 the weight of plastic in the great pacific garbage patch will weigh more than the amount of fish there are in the world. The great pacific garbage patch weighs more than three statues of liberty and enough plastic to make 50 great pyramids of Giza. If you were to try to pick up the hole pacific garbage patch you would never succeed because there are more people using rubbish and more plastic entering the great pacific garbage patch than the one person picking up estimated one to two hundred pieces per minute, but if it didn't work like that then it would take over 300 years.




The biggest garbage dump is not on land at all, it is actually the Great Pacific garbage patch is as big as 2 Texas. The Great Pacific garbage patch is 10 m deep and lots of fish and marine animals and life.

Zero Waste

zero waste

Today at school we were checking on 'Zero Waste'

We checked the rubbish bins in the classrooms and the staff room

We discovered that Taio Room was not very good at 'Zero Waste'

We took the rubbish out and put it in our classroom. 

We divided it into compost, recycling, and rubbish 

The compost was put in the compost pocket.

The recycling was put it in the bin. 

The Principal's bin was pretty good with Zero Waste

The other rooms, Pepeke, Manu and Awa were pretty good also. 

So overall our school did a a pretty good job at Zero Waste. 

Our class is the best at Zero Waste.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP)

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP)

Last week we had to research The Great Pacific Garbage Patch and this week we had to put that information in a newsletter. I liked this because I  learnt what The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is and what it does to the environment. 

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch 

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch which is GPGP. The GPGP is estimated surface of 1.6 million square kilometres, that's like three times of France. The GPGP is halfway between Hawaii and California. The GPGP was only discovered in 1993. GPGP is full of waste/rubbish.

What does it do to animals?

Have you ever thought about what the plastic does to the animals? When the plastic goes into the ocean, the animals think it is food. Turtles think that plastic bag a jellyfish so they eat it then they get sick and sadly die.

What is in the GPGP?

In the GPGP there is soo much plastic in it. It has big and little pieces of plastic. Because of all the plastic it is forming an island.
