Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu

This term Room 5 have joined the Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu blogging program and we have been connected with Room 8 at Glenbrae Primary School, Room 21 at Owairaka Primary School and Mamaku 3 at Grey Main Primary School. We have begun our blogging journey but are still learning how to make quality blog posts and blog comments. We are looking forward to seeing what these 3 classes are learning about and how they share this through their blogs. Here is an introduction to most of the students from Room 5 (we are missing a few who have been away). We hope you enjoy reading about who we are. Happy Blogging!

Recycling at Kawakawa

Here is a piece of writing from Te Aroha about recycling at school. She used great language to persuade her audience. She has some strong reasons to support her opinion. Well done Te Aroha.

WE SHOULD RECYCLE AT KAWAKAWA PRIMARY?

Do you want to stop pollution? Recycling is a great way to help the environment and save it from things such as pollution, Global warming and climate change. I strongly believe that we should recycle our rubbish at Kawakawa primary school. When you recycle your helping your community, school and the world to make it a safer and cleaner place. People are causing massive problems that are damaging our planet that’s why i think we need to recycle at Kawakawa primary school.

Firstly Do you want to make our environment more cleaner? i think that recycling would be a great way to help the environment to stop it from global warming and pollution. Recycling will improve our chances of climate change and save our animals from pollution. It’s vital for us to have clean air when your recycling it helps us lower the amount of rubbish that we throw into our bins. When you don’t recycle your rubbish ends up into the landfill going into the earth.

Secondly it’s a great way to teach the younger students about how to look after Papatuanuku and the animals. When they grow up they can learn to recycle their rubbish to help save our environment and teach their children to recycle. If we recycle at Kawakawa primary we will teach other students how to recycle and what to do to keep our school clean. Recycling can make our school cleaner and might influence other schools to recycle as well.

Finally all schools around New Zealand and the world need to learn how to take care of the earth and their communities as well as their school to help our chances of pollution, climate change and global warming slimmer. Scientists believe that the main cause for global warming is humans and all the oils and gases that are going into the atmosphere also destroying the ozone layer which is protecting us from the heat of the sun.

Kawakawa primary school needs to recycle to stop pollution and other events happening around earth. It will influence other schools as well to recycle and will teach younger students to look after our planet. I am adamant that we should recycle at Kawakawa primary school to save our planet and influence other schools to do the same.
