Pollution

I have made this Google drawing for you because we are all making a mistake. We are killing the animals in the ocean and even making ourselves eat plastic. Please stop throwing rubbish away in places it shouldn't be.

reduce, reuse and recycle.

This term we are focusing on reduce, reuse and recycle. Here is a few short paragraphs on what each means.


Reduce means to limit or use less of something I think mum should reduce the amount of printing she does. That would reduce the amount of ink and paper she uses. 

Reuse means to use something again or more than once. I use my cup or drink bottle more than once. I reuse paper by or writing on both sides. 

Recycle means to process something so it can be used again. Mum washes her yoghurt jars so we can put our pens and pencils in them. I also used one for my time capsule.

Spirit of the Anzacs

Today I had to listen to a song called Spirit of the Anzacs by Lee Kernaghan. 
I had to pick 2 words that I did not know about and then search them up. 

Here are my two words. 

 A platoon is a military unit typically composed of two or more squads/sections/patrols. . The platoon leader is usually a junior officer—a second or first lieutenant or an equivalent rank. The officer is usually assisted by a platoon sergeant. 

 Pride is a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements that is what pride means. Eg. I feel proud of the soldiers that fought for our country.

Brave

This week i listened to a story called Anzac Ted, he went on a journey with a soldier to war. Today I wrote  about my teddy call Brave and the adventures she comes with me.

My little white teddy is called Brave. She is white with a brown nose and two black eyes, she wears a pink dress that is getting a bit worn out. It had a love heart gem on the dress but it came off a long time ago. 

She has been with me during all my stays in the hospital.I hate hospitals because I have had to spend a lot of time in them.They make me feel scared and worried. Mum and Dad brought me Brave when I was 3 years old and in Nelson hospital with pneumonia. I was very scared and sick. Brave was there to cuddle. 

 When the Drs and nurses come to talk to me I squeeze Brave tightly and pretend I am at home. Brave makes me feel safe and strong when I am scared. I always take her with me when I go to stay in the hospital but if i'm only going for an appointment she stays at home and waits for me to get home and tell her all about how it went. 

This is brave.
