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).

Malaika's Speech

My speech was about rapping. I felt confident at the time but as soon as I hit the stage I got nervous but I still did it and it was so fun.    

My speech performance

My speech is about happiness.I chose happiness because I know a lot about happiness like how to be happy and what is happiness.When I did my speech I was really nervous but I tried not to show it,doing a speech is really scary but I managed to get through it.If I could go back and do my speech again I would give more eye contact.I think I did really well I hope I will go to the semi finals.😀

speech reflection

On wednesday I presented my speech. It was about money. I spoke with a clear voice and had lots of eye contact. l had a use of props and big expression. It was really nerve racking. I saw my whole class waiting for me to start. I heard the confident sound of my voice. Overall I think that I did very well !

My speech

I went first in my class in speeches, and I was very nervous. My speech was on the  Cavaliers. I was scared about talking to the class. But then I got used to it, and I did it, I was so happy.I had finally done it.Hopefully I got an alright score I think this was my best speech ever.
