Keeping Ourselves Safe Program

For the last 2 weeks room 15 have been learning about keeping ourselves safe.We have been learning about the positives and negatives about YouTube, Gmail, chatting to someone online that you don't know, snapchat and facebook. We also were learning about different types of abuse such as sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse and mental abuse with the police officer constable Jacob. Room 15 also watched a video about cyber abuse. The most challenging bit for me was coming up with all the different types of abuse. The most easiest thing for me was the positives and negatives because you can do cool things and learn cool things.

Pic Monkey

This year the year 6's started off by sketching on a big piece of wood for about an hour after morning tea. We started painting, this took about 2 hours. My main colours were red and blue, I got stuck for 10 minutes doing my hair because there were no colours to use.  Next we added sharpie, it was easy we just needed to go around our body and clothing.

Making Material Bags

Room 15 are trying to reduce the amount of plastic so we came up with making material bags instead of plastic bags. We decided to do this after we did the waste audit. When we did the waste audit we found 33 kilograms of rubbish in a day,and a school found that in a week.

First we went and made some paper bags as some ideas. Then when the material came we finished the paper bags and started making material bags. The trickiest bit about material is it flops over a lot and you need special scissors to cut it, but you can cut it with normal left or right handed.

Waste Audit reflection

On wednesday the Tui team went out on the courts to do a waste audit. The first thing we did was spread out a tarpaulin and put boxes with name tags on them.Next we put on some white powdery gloves on and helped put the rubbish on the tarp.Then we had a look at the rubbish to see what we saw then we shared what we saw on the tarp.Then we lined up in one big line and went in a circle and picked up two or three things and put them into the correct box.There were things like bottles, paper, plastic bags, soft plastics, plastic food bags and many more. When we finished we found 33 kilograms of rubbish in one day and a school found that amount of rubbish in one week. Now we are motivated to make honey wrap(beeswax wrap) so we can replace glad wrap. We also are making material bags instead of plastic bags (soft plastic bags).

I enjoyed practising free style up and down the lanes cause I am really confident at free style. I learned how to to the long dog (doggy paddle ) . I found the tornado really hard Its when you do free style then flip over and do backstroke.

The polar bear
roaring and growling
teeth thrashing and ice cracking
white and fluffy feet

I like this poem because one of my favourite animals is a polar bear and the poet used lots of adjectives.
