We have been learning about  the different ways people celebrate Christmas around the world. I decided to make a Venn diagram to show things that are the same and different in New Zealand and Mexico. When this are the same, you can compare them. When things are different, you contrast them. I hope you like my diagram.
Merry Christmas!


Pet Day

Kia Ora Bloggers!
A few weeks ago we had a pet day! I saw lots of cats there. Someones dad came in an inflatable dinosaur costume! It was really funny and I enjoyed it. I put a rock in as my pet because I don't want to torture my cats but I didn't get a prize for my rock sadly :(. I also put in a vaseline saucer but it didn't get a prize either. Here is a picture below.

Explanation Writing - Term 4

Kia ora Bloggers!

Yesterday, we did an explanation writing about an environmental problem we have and three ways to solve it. My explanation writing was about waste disposal!

Here is my writing below:


Name:Dulcie
Explanation Writing - Term 4

Prompt: - - Write to describe one environmental problem and explain what people do to reduce its impact on the planet.

Think about:
  • What your reader needs to know about the topic
  • How you are going to introduce the topic
  • The order of your ideas and how you link them
  • What to include in your summary

Remember to:
  • Choose your words carefully
  • Take care with your spelling, punctuation, and sentences
  • Edit - add or delete words or sentences to improve your work


Start Writing Here:

Problem means a matter or situation that is unwelcome or harmful. Environmental is the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. Environmental problems are issues with the planet's systems (air, water, soil, etc.) that have developed because of human interference or mistreatment of the planet. One environmental problem the planet has is waste disposal.

To reduce the impact on the planet you can donate clothes instead of throwing them away. A lot of our waste is old clothes that people don’t want anymore. An average American throws away approximately 80 pounds of used clothing per person. On average, nationally, it costs cities $45 per ton to dispose of old clothing. That amounts to 26 billion pounds of textiles and clothes ending up in landfills.

You can also eat healthy and save leftovers. When buying junk food, some of the rubbish can fly out of your bag, pockets or your pet will tear your rubbish into smaller bits for it to fly somewhere if you leave it lying on the bench or table. Instead of throwing away your lunch or dinner, you can glad wrap or cover the food with a paper towel and put in the fridge for tomorrow or to snack on later.

You can buy things with less packaging. A lot of packaging is thrown into our waste and ends up in landfills or around the streets and roads. If there is a lot of packaging, you can also recycle the packaging or reuse it to hold foods or furniture when moving. This will reduce the amount of packaging in our landfills and waste.

Environmental problems like waste disposal are very difficult for use to overcome and it is also ruining our planet. Hopefully in the future we can restore balance on the planet and not have so much waste and landfills on our earth.

Greats and Grands Explanation.

Kia Ora Bloggers! '
This Friday is Greats and Grands day and we had to write an explanation on an aging problem our grandparents had and how they could fix it. Here is my work below.

Understanding an explanation.



Beginning
Title
Copy your explanation title here.
How Grandparents Cope with Sore Limbs
1st paragraph
Define and describe what you are explaining.
A grandparent is a person who is old enough for their baby to have a baby. When people start to get old different parts of their bodies start to get worn out and they can no longer do what they could do before. This is called aging and it causes many problems. One aging problem that a grandparent may have to deal with is sore limbs.







Middle
2nd paragraph
Write about one thing you can do to cope with Sore Limbs.
One thing that a grandparent can do to cope with sore limbs is to stretch before going out to do a walk or go out gardening. This will give you more muscle control, flexibility and range of motion.
3rd paragraph
Write about a second thing you can do to cope with Sore Limbs.
A second thing they can do is to wrap a thin cloth around an ice pack and put on the sore area and take anti-inflammatory medicine, like ibuprofen or naproxen to ease inflammation.
4th paragraph
Write about a third thing you can do to cope with Sore Limbs.
A third thing that a grandparent could do is to keep hydrated. They should drink a lot of water so that it can make its way to the muscles and soothe them.
End
5th paragraph
Wind up your writing.
Sore limbs can be a difficult aging problem for grandparents to deal with but people are hopeful that improvements in technology will be  a big help for this in the future.
