Our camp was super duper awesome because it was full of excitement. I really, really, really enjoyed camp, camp was one of the greatest experiences of this year.
I am a Year 5 student at Paparore School School in Northland, New Zealand. Mrs Junjovich is my teacher. My blog is a collection of my work at various stages, across different curriculum areas. Throughout my time at Paparore School I may share draft copies of my work for feedback and feed forward. Other times I will share my final published pieces. I would appreciate any feedback through leaving me a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment. Thank you

Kuaka: Marathon Bird
We are learning to use visual language features to support our understanding of the ideas and information in the text.
- What I enjoyed was making this slide and doing my vocabulary sheet which was also tricky.

Telling the time
WALT tell the time o'clock and half past.
I did the time booklet very well it did take a day or so. I found the time slide a bit tricky. I can try to do the time slide and the time booklet a bit faster.
Speeches
WALT present a persuasive speeches. my learning speech reflection is that I did a loud and clear voice. what I did well was my eye contact and a loud voice. I can work on learning my speech of by hart next time. I felt nervous and exited at the same time.
Do you care about the environment? Do you care about all the animals dying? We can all help to prevent this if we act now and start recycling.
Recycling helps save animals in the water and on land and birds in the sky. We can help clear the skies from lots of dust and smoke for birds like the Southern Albatross which is the biggest seabird. Recycling plastic will prevent it from landing up in the ocean where turtles will think it is their favourite food named jellyfish and whales mistaking it for cril. If more people recycle their plastic, there will be less plastic and more animals.
Recycling saves our planets resources. By recycling 1 ton of paper, we save 17 trees. Recycling oil prevents water pollution.
Another positive thing about recycling is that it creates jobs. There are a lot of recycling depots all over New Zealand where numerous people sort through the paper, cardboard, plastic and glass that is brought to them and then sent to different places to be reused or recycled.
We can all help our planet by starting recycling everything, from food scraps for compost to every last bit of plastic. Up here in the North we only recycle number 1 plastic and our milk bottles, all the other plastic ends up in the rubbish. We as a community should look into ways to recycle all our plastic.
We only have one earth so let's take care of it.
