Wind power and debate by Jaime, Siena & Frank

Wind power is good and bad.

There is a debate about if wind power is good or bad.

Some people think that wind power is bad for the environment and some people think it saves natural resources.

Wind turbines use steel which uses up natural resources but other ways cause pollution  so people argue about it.

New Zealand is a ideal place for wind turbines because it is in the roaring forties. 

Much of New Zealand lies in the middle of the best spot for wind turbines.

Some people think wind turbines block views some people think it adds to the view what do you think?

Kelly Taltons by Barnaby

                                                Kelly taltons

On Friday we went on a school trip to Kelly taltons.
It was really fun, my three favourite things were the penguins, the sting ray feeding and the turtles.
My parent helper was Vinnie and in my group was Enzo, Kyla and Jasmin and Me.
In t.t.t.[the tunnel tank]I saw lots of sharks but I can only name two, thresher and Woebegone  the Woebegone is pretty unknown it is a camouflage shark.
We got to learn about how pollution got into the sea.
We went on a really boring baby play ground.

Water Pollution By Jaime

Water Pollution.

Water pollution is extremely important,in a very bad way.

Water pollution is killing all sorts of marina life like; Fish,Killer whales, and many,many more sea life!

Water pollution is not something to think about only on world ''oceans day",or when yet another piece of debris from 2011 tsunami washes up on distance shores,it's pervasive. (That means everywhere).


Sometimes garbage in our communities end up in our oceans and... join the great junk pile in the middle of the pacific ocean!

The reason of the 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' is that the Pacific oceans,ocean Gyre is the biggest than any other ocean Gyre.

Ocean Gyres are regions of the oceans where water is rotates in a large circular pattern.

The five major ocean Gyres are;The North Pacific,North Atlantic,Indian Ocean,South Atlantic,and South Pacific! 

Help save our oceans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global Warming By Frank

Global warming is a very big problem for the environment as it causes sea levels to rise and many other things.

Global warming is caused by cars.  Burning trash that can't be used again and factories let out co2.  Even animals play a part.

When co2 and methane go up into the sky they create a barrier that keeps the heat in the Earth, which makes the Earth heat up.

The effect of Global warming is devastating! It heats up the ocean and coral reefs die because the temperature rises and fish have to find new food.  

The polar ice caps have a lot of water in them and if they melt it will make the ocean level rise and will flood habitats.

We can stop this! We can use our bikes more often and recycle.  If we do this global warming will end.

I hope we can end Global warming.

Global Warming By Zoe

The Arctic is changing because of us!

By 2040 all of the Arctic glaciers will be water and if that happens, not only will habitats be destroyed, there will be massive floods.

Poor, poor, poor polar bears! Their homes will be destroyed.  You might be wondering why the Arctic is going to disappear and it's not a magician doing it!  It's YOU!

This disaster is caused by: carbon emissions, burning landfills and nuclear disposal.

You might be thinking how much this is effecting?

Well... factories are putting too much carbon dioxide in the air also people are cutting down too many trees!

If carbon dioxide gets into our atmosphere and traps the heat in then the glaciers will melt faster.  If we keep cutting down trees and not replace them then trees won't be able to breathe in the carbon dioxide!

So save our Arctic glaciers!

MATHs by Rita and Jaime

This week we have been learning a new strategy (it's pretty tricky ) say the question was 21+ something = 34. we would split it into groups ... next we take we take the first number (which ours is 21 ) And we take our 21 and + 9=30.  We take it up to 30 because that's a tidy number.  Tidy numbers end in 0)  +4 that we get from our 34.

Personification Poem by William

The rain cried down from the dark, dark, deep clouded sky. 

The wind danced from the huge horrible sky. 

The thunder shouted in the dark angry sky.

Salt water by Nora

Salt water habitats are places where sea craters live the ocean.

The sunlit zone is the the is the top layer of the ocean. There is enough light to let plants to grow.

The twilight zone is the one after the sunlit zone and it's the 2nd biggest place in the ocean. Lots of animals live there.

The midnight zone is the deepest part in the ocean and not many animals survive there.  Some animals have special ways to survive.

We should take care of the ocean and some people are over fishing.

Salt water habitats

Did you know there  are different zones in the ocean?

There is a sunlight zone it's the top zone. It's where a few fish live like dolphins, turtles and sometimes stingrays.

There is a twilight zone and that is where the sperm whales live. The twilight zone is in the middle of the ocean and it goes all the way across the ocean.

There is another zone and it's the midnight zone. It's right at the bottom and it's the darkest part of the ocean. There is fish that glows. There isn't much sea creatures because they can't see. That's why they glow.

Did you know that fish that live in the ocean and if you put fish that used to be in the ocean into fresh water they won't live. Thats why you need to be careful.

Did you know that the water from your house doesn't go to the ocean? it goes to the water treatment and they treat it. 

Do you know that everything that goes down The drain goes out to the ocean and that's why you should be careful to not put anything down the drain because it goes to the ocean.

If you go fishing in the ocean you can only get a certain number of fish and you have a certain size.

Saltwater habitats by James

Saltwater habitats are in the ocean and were there are three zones. It is a very, very salty place but the creatures in the ocean don't care.

The sunlit zone is the top part of the ocean. It is the smallest zone in the ocean. It has the most sea animals in the part.

The twilight zone is under the sunlit zone. Sperm whales, dolphins and sharks also swordfish can stay between the sunlit zone and the twilight zones. Cuttlefish live in the twilight zone to.

The midnight zone is the deepest part of the ocean seems it is so dark parts of the sea animals glow up. Like dumbo octopus and anglerfish and the big mouthed fang tooth and the vampire squid,tube worms and finally the glow in the dark jelly fish.

Did you know that fish don't get your dirty water that comes from your house it gets cleaned in the water treatment station but it does go straight to the ocean when it goes down a drain.
