                                                Ban Plastic in NZ

 Did you know that most plastic bags and food rubbish end up on islands and it harms the wildlife?I think that if you ban plastic in New Zealand then it will be better for the environment. If you ban plastic in NZ that means that things like rulers and buckets will have to be changed and made out of different material and you could change rulers to metal and buckets to tin. Another reason is that if you love animals and sea creatures you may be shocked to know that they are being very heavily effected because of all the loads of plastic and we should help them. Also if you ever go to the rubbish dump you will see big squares made up of crushed plastic from our bins at home and you will also see diggers that they use to bury all of the rubbish so it is really sad knowing that rubish gets buried and only some of it is byodigradable. Also some bad chemicals can come off of the plastic do if we still want to use plastic at least use recyclable plastic that breakes down. Lastly each year around 380 million tons of plastic is made around the world and from the 1950s to 2018 around 6.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced worldwide.In the UK alone more than 5 million tons of plastic is made. I think that NZ should ban plastic as it can cause pollution and harm wildlife and the environment.

Chapter chat

For the last 7 weeks my class and a lot of other classes have been doing chapter chat.For chapter chat there is a man who creates 10 activities each week for us children to do and they all revolve around the book and what is happening in it.Also every time that there is a chapter chat the book is different and for this chapter chat the book was called a Fish in a Tree.Every Friday all of the classes doing chapter chat collaborate and do this thing on twitter called twitter chat which we kind of use like a blog but the man who creates the 10 activities also writes 10 question down for twitter chat and we have to answer them.Every week the man also chooses his favourite work from twitter chat and he posts it on facebook.

The book a Fish in A tree is about this girl who is called Ally and at the start she didn't  really think that she belonged in her school and she also thought that she was dumb because she could't read of write and she was keeping it a secret but then her teacher Mr Daniels found out that she had Dyslexia which is this thing that makes it hard for people to read and write and the words on the page move.Also after her teacher Mr Daniels found out about her Dyslexia she finally though that she belonged.

This is my favourite piece of work that I have done for chapter chat and it is my drawing of a bird that can swim!!
