Why you should look after the environment

Why you should look after the environment
In my opinion, you should look after the amazing planet. If you don’t the children won’t be able to have no fun! This makes me sad because don’t put banana and orange peels in the compost.

I believe that if you don’t recycle the whole world will be a junkyard. Did you know people don’t put their rubbish in the rubbish bin? (It might be you.) warning don’t put rubbish on the ground.

For this reason, you shouldn’t leave rubbish in the community lakes and then we can’t go swimming and if it overflows then we can’t ride our motorbikes because if we ride it to much we will pollute the air.

In summary, don’t pollute anything because we might die and do you want that to happen.

Hunting for the invertebrates



Hunting for the invertebrates
My friends and I were in class listening to Lauren and Michelle. Then Lauren showed us were looking where Duck Creek came from. Duck Creek came from a tarn that’s a small pond on a mountain.

First: The teachers sorted us in groups there were 4 groups. The teachers were Miss Hinchliff, Marion, Jane, Katrina. Lauren and Michelle gave us a kick net and plastic containers with the kick net. You kick in front of it, that’s why it’s a kick net. With the plastic containers you put in the water then you take it out of the water.

In summary, me and my friends went to Duck Creek, we didn’t just look in the water we looked in the water weeds too.

Riparian planting

Riparian planting

Did you know that poo and wee are nutrients for the grass and plants? We can plant trees, bushes, flax, grass and flowers.

You have to build a fence around the river’s or creek’s so animals and rubbish can’t get in. If you don’t have trees and plants and build a fence all the nasties get in the creek or river. The roots stop erosion from getting in the river.

Last week I went salmon fishing for a moment. In the holidays I went to Matthew Bertin’s places on my motor- bike in the holidays.

In the holidays we went to Nelson and Takaka and Mochocka.In the holidays we bought new DVDs in the holidays. The DVDs were the Croods the Frog Kingdom and Matilda.


For the salmon fishing, we borrowed fishing rods for fishing. We caught 5 fish, 2 for Mum, 1 for me, nothing for Dad 1 for Daniel and 1 for Cameron.  


In Nelson, we stayed at a hotel for 2 nights in Nelson. At Mochowaka we stayed in a hotel for 1 night. We stayed in Takaka for 1 night in a hotel. We went to Matthew berton’s places and ride our motorbikes.

Planting the Banksia Tree



Planting the Banksia tree
On Tuesday morning the kea class planted a Banksia tree on the East side of the field. We planted it because we wanted to increase the birds we have at Kokatahi Kowhitirangi school.

First, Daniel coleked a broken wheelbarrow and Dominic coleked a  shovel and Miss Hinchliff coleked a Banksia tree. Dominic dug a hole for the 95 cm Banksia tree. Lukas put it on slow-mow I was going to take a photo but it was slow-mow I pressed the red button it was funny.

Then, we planted a Banksia tree and that's the time slow-motion happened after we stepped around the Banksia tree after Morgan,Evannah and Billie watered the Banksia tree.

My favourite part was going to take a photo but it was on slow-motion.
