My name is Rez

 We read a book about a girl called rez from a different country she was a refugee so we did a comprehension about the book and this is it.

1. What helped Rez and her family to settle in New Zealand and what made it more difficult? It helped them settle in because it was cleaner and they had their own home in NZ.it was more difficult because they did not speak the same language.

2. What do you think would have been the biggest challenge for Rez in her new school? the biggest challenge was not knowing the language In her new country?

3. What features in the pictures help to show what the characters are thinking and feeling?

(Insert text and images from the story and add screenshots, photographs, and speech bubbles to support what you say). She looks sad because she is crying

4.What are the benefits of telling a story in a graphic format? it's more interesting Are there any disadvantages? not any I can think of

The effects of deforestation on our planet

 The effects of deforestation on our planet

Deforestation is taking away our environment and making a horrible place for the next generation.

Deforestation is bad because it is destroying our trees. Which helps the world by sucking in carbon dioxide and turning it into oxygen to breathe. Without trees, the world would be a place where nothing lived.  From a satellite view,   tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate of about 8 million hectares a year. That is 80,000 square kilometers a year, Auckland is this many square 1,102.9 so they are cutting down around 80 or 78 Auckland's a year.

When trees are cut down and burned or left to rot their inside carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide. This is how deforestation is making global warming.  80 percent of the world's land animals and plants live in the bush and deforestation threatens species such as Sumatran tigers.  When the trees get taken away it makes it hotter at night for the animals which makes them move to an unsafe place. 

 

To prevent deforestation try and use less paper.  Plant a tree, use recycled products, Buy sustainable wood, and don't buy anything with palm oil. Also, don't burn firewood expensively. 

 

In conclusion, deforestation is making a bad place for this world and is killing great animals.

We have been asigned to write expanations about global problems.

Why plastic pollution is global problem

In our class, we had to make an explanation we could either write about why plastic is a global problem, how the moa became extinct or why flooding causes destruction. I chose to write about why plastic pollution is a global problem. 

WHY PLASTIC POLLUTION IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM 

Intro: Plastic pollution is a big problem because it is destroying our environment and killing our kaimoana. Plastic is an object that is helpful but also very destructive.  It is used in many ways such as water bottles, Tupperware,  plastic toys, and yogurt containers.

Plastic is destroying our environment and making a bad future for the next generation. Plastic is destroying our wildlife and our sea creatures. Scientists predict by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean then there will be fish.

To reduce plastic Avoid single-use plastics such as drinking straws. If you go shopping, remember to take a cloth bag. Buy more bulk food and fewer products in plastic raping or bags.  Replace plastic Tupperware for glass or steel containers. 

Plastic pollution has become one of the worst things as fastly making more plastic. It is disposable plastic products that are the worst. The world's powers to deal with plastic are not going good. 

In conclusion, plastic is a really bad global problem that is making many problems and is fastly increasing. We need to stop using plastic and more reusable items.

Trench warfare

Trench warfare 

Trench warfare is about fighting on land. It is a good way because no aircraft can take
fire at the people in the trenches. It is helpful to cover the ground and push the
enemy back.

Trench warfare is where there are two sides in the middle of no man's land,
no man's land is called that because none of the two sides own it.
In the nights the rats would get in the old cans and rattle them
in which it would give away the position spot. 

There were about  2,490 kilometers of trench lines dug during World War I.
Most of the trenches were about 1-2 meters deep and 3 meters long.
The trenches were long and narrow. 

With people fighting in such close places in the trenches, usually, in unsanitary
conditions, infectious diseases such as dysentery, cholera and typhoid fever were
common and spread rapidly.

In conclusion, trenches were horrible, disgusting, and full of rats.
But were sometimes quite useful for cover and winning the war.
