Today Year 4 continued their Moana studies. We're celebrating being part of the Hauraki Gulf. We learnt some of the many sea creatures that live there:
Warren "Sharks, turtles and fish"
Renee "Sting rays, octopus and orca"
Hunter "Marlin, sprats, and kingfish"
Richie "Bronze whaler sharks, whales and seals"
Then we used our mapping skills to locate Sunnyhills School in the Hauraki Gulf.
Maori were here first. We learnt the meaning of some of the names they gave the places in the Hauraki Gulf.
How can we protect our moana?
Maya "Don't fish"
Kayla "Use less plastic"
Aelene "Be a tidy kiwi"
"Put rubbish in the right spot"
We took action by going on a litter hunt.
Room 5 found 106 pieces of litter on the field and edible garden! Room 4 found 30 pieces of litter in the native bush walk. And Room 6 found and incredible 152 pieces of litter around the school after lunch. Wow! That's 288 pieces of litter collected in just ONE day.
What did we discover about the litter?
Ambrose "It's coming from food and juice"
Zachary "There were lots of plasters"
What could we do about it?
Brayden "some of it can be recycled"
Zara "through it in the bin"
Luca "stop using plastic"
Caitlin "bring litter free lunches"
PLEASE BRING A LITTERFREE LUNCH. PERHAPS WE CAN ASK THE OFFICE TO BUY BIODEGRADEABLE PLASTERS ...
