How to be sustainable

 Kia ora! Welcome back to my blog. This blog will be showing my explanation text about how to be sustainable. 

How to be sustainable. 
Sustainability. It is the idea that us humans will save the goodness of our planet in friendly ways for
future generations.Everyone can be sustainable. You can do this in many

ways, such as being all electric, reducing plastic usage
and growing your own food.
Being all Electric
Being all electric isn’t easy. It means having an
electric car, solar paneled house and an electric
fireplace. The reason why it is so important to have
an electric car is because petrol cars release
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and cause
global warming to be a bigger problem. Electric cars
are easy to charge, use no petrol (which means your
saving heaps), and are better for the environment.
Solar panels are better too, because they use sunlight
instead of turbines. Electric fireplaces are also
better than gas powered ones, because gas is a fossil
fuel; bad for the environment.
Reducing plastic usage
It is important to reduce your plastic usage because
plastic will always go into the bin, or the ocean which
is even worse. The plastic will get eaten by sea creatures,
which means no fish for dinner. Ways you can decrease
plastic usage is by wrapping our food in beeswax wraps.
These are reusable, and environmentally friendly
wrapping material, also super easy to make. Maybe if
you buy a bag of cookies with plastic wrap, instead you
could bake the cookies yourself.
Growing your own food.
It is better to grow your own food, because when you
buy it, it usually comes in plastic wrapping or has to
get shipped from overseas. You know why the plastic is
bad, but why the shipping? When shipping food across
seas, it requires a lot of fossil fuels to power the ship,
and sometimes,  you have to burn them. Burning fossil
fuels is bad, because it sends dirty air into our lungs,
and up into the atmosphere, which like I said earlier,
is bad.

Conclusion
In conclusion, our world is in danger. There are many
worldwide problems. These are only a few of the ways
we can help our world, but if we want our world to be
healthy, we need to take action, NOW. 
Glossary:
Turbine - A metal piece that spins around to make
electricity
Fossil fuels - A type of energy producer such as coal,
oil and natural gas.
Atmosphere - The layer or layers of gases around
a planet.

Thank you for reading my blog. Which one of these do you already do?

Be the poem

 Kia ora, welcome back to my blog. This blog is about my Reading. We were learning about community. We looked at the benefits and disadvanteges of being in a community. Some of the advanteges are, you get new friends, the more hands the quicker things get done, you have people to share your ideas with and you have people to support you. Some disadvanteges are, you might have events when you want to do something else, it might be a bad community and they aren't nice, or maybe they just don't support you. We read a poem inspired by the beautitudes. Here is my unique poem: 

Thank you for reading. What is another Be word I could add?

Maths Knowledge week 9

 Kia ora! This blog is about my math knowledge week 9. We chose a goal to try and make green on Hero, and then answered questions to prove we could do it. Here is my goal: 

Say the number 1 /1000, 1 /100’, 1 /10, 1, 10, before or after any number.

And here are my answers:

Thank you for reading my blog. Try figure out one of the answers and see if you get it right!

I baked something without knowing what it was...

Kia ora! Welcome to my blog. This blog is about my reading, writing and maths from week 7. First I will share my reading.

In reading, we were learning about what is ok to skim and scan and what you have to read properly. We were given some intructuions to follow without knowing what we were making. I chose the baking one and here are the instructions we had to follow: 

I made it and it turned out to be scones: 

Next, my writing. Our writing this week was linked to our reading, about instructions. But instead, we were writing them this time. We had to choose something to write instuctions for how to do, and make them clear to read. I chose how to tie a shoelace.

And last, maths. This week we were learning about the four types of transformation. We had to create a logo that showed at least two. They are, reflection,rotation,translation,enlargment. Here is my logo for sunglasses.

I used all four of them. I used enlargment  for the one in the middle, translation when moving them around in an oval, rotation when rotating them different ways and I tried to make it the same on both sides. That is all for this blog today, thanks for reading!

What was your favourite part of this blog?

What's the destination?

 Kia ora and welcome back to my blog. This blog should be quick, because I only have one thing to share with you. In my math class this week, we were doing grid references and compass directions. We had to create something that showed our understanding of them. I created a map with a path to follow:

Try doing this yourself!

The directions are: 

Start at p6, then move north 3 spaces, east 2 spaces, south 3 spaces,

west 10 spaces, south 2 spaces, west 4 spaces, where are you?

Where did you end up?

5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.

Kia ora, and welcome back to my blog. This blog is about the ten poems I wrote for our create week 6. We were learning about poem writing, and learnt about 4 different poem types. This included, Rhyming, Shape poem, Haiku and riddle. I chose a haiku, 10 actuually. The structure of a haiku is, 

First line: 5 syllables

Second line: 7 syllables

Third line: 5 syllables.

I wrote ten of these, not all of them were my best work because it was hard to think of the words but some of them I loved. Here they are:

Thank you for reading. My question for you is, what was you favourite one of my haikus and do you think you could write one about the same thing but differently?

Jiggly Jelly Cake

Kia ora, this week in the Kaupeka Hub we have been learning about hobbies. Our goal is: use knowledge from text to combine with new ideas (own and others) to come up with new thinking. I have learnt that a hobby is something you like to do, such as a sport or another activity that brings you happiness. We were tasked to create something that showed our understanding of hobbies, or create a video teaching someone how to do your hobby. I created a video about baking. I made lots of seperate videos then combined them and edited it, maybe you could try this while you are in lockdown!

My reflection is:

Next time I might make the instructions a bit more clear; there were some times when I played and paused the video too fast and you couldn't see what I was doing.

Question: What is your hobby? You never know, you may have lots!
