Refuge.

The book that we are reading as a class is the book Refuge. Here is a photo of the cover. 

It is a book about three children and their families who are trying to escape the country they are in. The stores are true as well and they happened about 75 years apart and apparently, all of them have sumthing in common. The names of the three kids are Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud. And we are about a quarter way through. if anyone one us has read this can you please comment on this blog and tell me what happens.

speach.

Last Wednesday we had to do speeches. I had to go up and to it. Here is the speech that I did.

Are you tired of seeing rubbish everywhere? Seeing on the news all of the animals that have died because they have eaten rubbish? Did you know that from the 1780s to the 1830s humans have been polluting the ocean. If you are tired of it then I think that you will like this speech?

Hi, I'm Mikael and I am here to talk to you about some things and it is mainly rubbish. For too long humans have been polluting the earth and I am here to persuade you to agree with me if you don't already.

I think that humans have been polluting the ocean for a long time and I don't like it. When you put rubbish in the ocean most of it ends up on the Islands if it doesn't get eaten by animals. If humans don't stop polluting the ocean then sooner or later a lot of sea animals will be gone. Did you know that over 6.3 billion kg of rubbish is dumped in the ocean every year. Normal plastic talks about 450 years to break down if it doesn't end up is an animal's stomach. That is a long time especially because humans normally live to about 80 or more  Here are some photos of the Islands that are covered in plastic and animals that have eaten plastic. It’s not nice, is it? To see all of those poor animals dead all because they thought that that piece of rubbish was food. And the Islands, imagine how beautiful the would be if they weren't covered in rubbish. I think that we need to make a stand and stop polluting the ocean.

If everyone one that is polutting the sea keeps ignoring everyone that is telling them to stop them, imagine what the earth will be like in 10 years or 20 years. The amount of rubbish in the sea will outnumber the amount of fish because 100,000 marine life is killed by rubbish around the world every year. And one million seabirds are killed every year. But if we stop polluting the ocean then there will be a lot of fish in the ocean. And a lot of birds in the sky.

So in conclusion, I hope that you agree with me and if you do then please don’t litter and help save the sea.

I came in third place.

speach.

Last Wednesday we went to the eco landfill. We had to learn the 5 Rs, the photos are below... We also saw how the machinery works. Here is a photo of one.

Next we went to the Eco shop. We had a budget of $500 but it wasn't real. We had to go into the shop and buy stuff that we will need for a flat. Me and my buddy went over the budget a bit so we had to get rid of the fancy knife and fork we got.

math week

The past week in Rimu we have been making a tiny house. First, we had to look at the instructions on the board. Here they are.  Then we had to mack a  rough draft. Here it is.
Then we had to color in the walls and the floor and the roof. Then we had to put the furniture together and put it in the house. Our house is a medieval-themed that is why it is black and read. Then we had to mack it detailed and we aren't very good at here is our finish thing. we also had to find the area and perimeter of  the furniture.

manual.

This past 8 weeks at manual I have been making a table. here is a photo of the finish

thing. at the end of the last section, I got it done before most other people. The main part of it is sanding. most of the time we are sanding but I quite like sanding.
