👩‍🚀Mars Pods🛰️

We made space pods out of straw, tape, and paper.  Once we were finished we tested them in front of a fan to see how strong they were. The reason why we did this is because on Mars they have lots of dust storms and they are very strong, so to survive we need a very strong pod. Here are some photos in the process.

Dats me :)

Holidays🏖️

It is now the first day of term 4! 
I went to the movies with my friend Licha.(Check out her blog at http://odsnitlichac.blogspot.com/  ) We watched a movie called Smallfoot and it teaches you that knowledge is power. After we watched the funny movie, I went to Licha's house. We played on our bikes at Eden Park. I had loads of fun in the holidays. Did you?

My Speech

Title: Plastic bags    

I am transparent and often mistaken for jellyfish. I pollute the environment and can block drains. It takes me 1000 years to decompose. I can get into the soil and release toxic chemicals. Animals eat me, then die. What am I? I’m a plastic bag.

It might not sound like much but it is a big problem. Every minute one rubbish truck worth of plastic is dumped in the ocean. Woah, that is WAY too much! I think all of us should stop using plastic bags.

My first reason is because they harm wildlife. Animals think the plastic is food so they eat it and die. Over 100 million marine animals are killed every year because of plastic in the ocean. Scientists estimate that there are 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world. It is expected that another 60 billion tons will be produced this year alone!

Sometimes plastic ends up as part of a food chain.  A fish think it is food and eats it. Then another fish eats that fish and then we catch the fish and realize that it has eaten plastic and cannot eat it. Or even worse, we eat plastic contaminated fish. Yuck!  Now 500 species are known to be affected by plastic bag pollution because of us!

Approximately 1 million seabirds die from plastic. The seabirds, they eat plastic bags thinking it is food and cannot digest it so they die. Also they can get caught in the plastic bag handles that are floating in the sea or on land and die because they cannot move. Sounds sad right? Well that is the exact reason why we have to stop using them.

On average we only recycle one plastic bag in every 200 we use. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as rubbish each year.

There is only one person who can make a change. That person can make a big difference and that person is you!  Start by using reusable bags. Now in some stores you can get a reusable bag and get it replaced for free! You are the one that can make a difference.  Start today!

🏞️Arataki🌲(Brief)

On Wednesday 27 of June we went to Arataki Regional park. First we went on the bendy bus to Arataki. Once we got there we had to scrub our shoes to prevent Kauri dieback.

Then I went along the loop and the nature trail with my group. We had a checklist so we looked for spiders. we had to go deep into the bushes to find a very cute blue spider making a web. It took us 10 minutes to find it but it was worth it.

 In the last block I did a workshop to learn about the life cycle where insects are important. We used something called a pooter. It is something where you suck up a bug through a straw and catch bugs but you can't accidentally suck it into your mouth.

At the end you can release your insect. 

Going to Arataki was very fun and I learnt lots about insects..

Dear Mrs Ardern,

I am writing to you because I want to tell you about how amazing Garden to Table is at Owairaka school.

Owairaka School is an Enviro School and we believe that learning life skills alongside reading, writing and maths is very important. Room 8 (our class) is an awesome place to learn in and last term we had a Garden to Table session each week. It was a fantastic experience.

In the kitchen we cook food that is multicultural and the times that we do this are lunch, morning tea or in the last block. Some of the ingredients are from the school gardens. The honey is from our bees and our eggs are from the chickens. The names of the chickens are Dusty, Ginger Ninja, Betsy and Violet.

Each time we have Garden to Table it also teaches us other skills like reading in real life because we have to read the recipes correctly and math because we measure accurately in cups or spoons. But sometimes we make mistakes because once someone put salt instead of sugar in a muffin and made it taste really salty and one person cut their leg with a knife! They had to relearn how to use one safety and get a new knife licence (to be able to use a knife by yourself).

Some of the foods look really disgusting but they turn out to be delicious. Once, I tasted a really green lumpy smoothie that had green vegetables in it and we made a banana skin muffin. Using the banana skin taught us that you can have zero waste in the kitchen.            

I would like to invite you to come to our school and spend some time in our gardens and visit a Garden to Table lesson. You will get to try our delicious food and learn for yourself how awesome it is and know that all students should be able to experience this opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

Lillia, Room 8
