Why is it important to use our PBS CARE Values?

L.I: To write an explanation using TEEL Paragraphs.

This week for writing Sakina, Haylee, Taheesha, and I worked together to create an explanation about why it's important to use our PBS C.A.R.E values. TEEL stands for topic sentence, example or evidence, explain and link ideas. We put together our idea’s and added some technical words in the making. This task was to help us revise on writing explanations as next week is assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations.

L.I: Is to find the lowest common multiple  
                          
This week for maths we were learning how to find the lowest common multiple. We first learnt by doing 1 digit by 1 digit and started moving on to even harder questions.The thing that I really liked about this task is how we got to work in groups and give each other feedback just in case we might of gotten lost in the question might need help.

Law of inertia

L.I: To create a DLO that explains the law of inertia.

Science is really interesting, for science we were learning about the law of motion and who created it. The person who created law of motion is a man named Isaac Newton, he was a man who discovered it and explained what it meant. The law inertia means if an object stays in rest or stays at a constant speed this motion will keep on going until unless some type of pull of force stops the object or moves it. The thing that I really liked about this task is how we got to work in groups and share our own ideas to each other and get feedback.

Why is it important to make wise choices?

 Why is it important to make wise choices?

Imagine being a sea creature and seeing a piece of rubbish but not knowing what it is and eating it. So many people don't think when it comes to throwing their rubbish in the bin. Therefore if you don't throw your rubbish in the bin it will end up floating in the ocean for the next sea animal to suffer in pain. 

Pollution can kill more than 50 thousand animals each year, as a result every 10 years around 500 thousand animals die. To prevent this from happening we need to use our brain and pick up any rubbish that's around you and put it in the bin. We have been so disrespectful and not knowing about our actions towards the sea animals, so we need to change the way we think right now.

Animals across the world are suffering from how much rubbish there is in the ocean, as a result turtles, seagulls and other sea animals will consume our rubbish or even get stuck in it because of our useless actions. There are bins for a reason, so it could keep our environment a safe place for our sea animals and birds.

But it's not just our actions that cause the risk of animals dying; it could be a volcanic eruption which its ashes can lead to sea creatures getting crushed by them and dieing. Pollution is a global problem which can affect our earth as well. Pollution can come from so many places like drains, rivers and strong currents that can carry all the rubbish that was in their waters and carries it into the ocean.

There are three main major types of pollution like air pollution, water pollution and land pollution so rubbish is basically everywhere. These three types of pollution can cause so much damage to our environment even ourselves, so this is why we need to stop polluting and think about the risk we are taking. Everyday at least 100 people die of pollution which is really bad for families and friends.

There are over 12 million tons of rubbish floating in our oceans every year. This must be a struggle for the animals in the ocean, and one day turtles, fish and other sea animals could go extinct from the way we are acting. Do you think we should carry on with throwing rubbish in the ocean, OF COURSE NOT we need to keep our oceans clean and safe and remember that it could cause big harm to us humans as well.

L.I: To use transitional vocabulary

This week for writing we I learnt a lot about the world and the disaster about rubbish in our oceans. My explanation that I made explains to others the situation around the world and how we need to fix it. I really liked this task because it make everyone to think the way i think we need to so we can save sea animals. The thing that I really liked about this task is how we got to write about anything that the world is struggling on.

Who I will vote for

L.I:To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice 

To decide which political party I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision. If I was 18 I would vote for Labour because they are willing to upgrade hospitals so it could help people in Aotearoa with the virus. This means if Labour Won the election in my electorate Jenny Salesa would be our member of parliament and Jacinda ardern would become the Prime Minister.

DARE to make a choice

                                 L.I: To strengthen out abilities to make positive life choices.
                      

In this DLO above, Sulia and I have worked Collaboratively on this DLO. This DLO is 'Dare to make a choice'. In this DLO, we have explained the consequences that come with drugs, the side effects, why it is important to make wise choices and legal and illegal drugs. In one of our learning sessions, we had learned the legal and illegal drugs. We had been given 6 scenario's(connected to drugs), which in groups, we had decided what the consequences would be. We had also learnt about the 3 different drug classes is when getting caught by the police. We were really shocked of about the amount of money and time was spent in prison. I really enjoyed this activity because it showed me the consequences of making bad choices.
