Our New Kete

The Lorax-movie 

really?

To introduce the new Kete, Toitutanga, sustainability, the year 7 cohort went in to 7Sh and watched The Lorax.


The big idea of the movie to me is that no matter what your actions will affect what happens to you and the world. Chopping down trees like the once-ler did as a young man is a example on the thing that change your environment.  A small decision can change the world for better or worse. I think the author, Dr Seuss, wants us to think about what we decide to do and the affeat to us and nater. To me some of the key concepts is logging, being sustainable and deforestation.

what we could do to help this in real life is to have less rubbish by using more as re/upcycling some of your no longer useful stuff.

My First Three Weeks Back.

My First Three Weeks Back.

Week 1:

In week one of term Three 7Ld learned that we were doing science this term; Yay! Our teacher is Mr Palmer, and we have science on a Monday and Thursday. We also found out we were getting a new student called Jhermaine. 

Week 2

In Week two 7Ld learned that next week the year 7&8s were going to Orana Wildlife Park on Monday for the day and we were getting another new student called Wajihah who was coming from Fiji 

Week 3

Like I said in week three the year 7&8s  whet to Orana Wildlife Park for the day. We were split into groups and went to see the animals and my group first saw the reptiles. I really liked the lizards because they blend in with there surroundings and where the hardiest to find, but my all time favourite animal has to be the kiwi because its a native animal and they are really cute. Last time I was there I saw the meerkat and porcupines and those where really amazing. I love the meerkat because the first time I saw them was with my grandma for a treat. 

All in all this three weeks have been a blast so much fun. my favourite week has to be... Week 3 

Here is some photos of the animals 

Hands down the best first three weeks back ever

A Little on me

A Little On Me 

Hi my name is Michaela Cameron and I'm a Kiwi and have never been out of the Southland [NZ] =[ . I've lived in Hornby Christchurch my whole life, but have been down to Dunedin and Invercargill  and up to Greymouth. I am 11 so have plenty of time to go outside of my comfort zone and explore the world. I like to play make believe and to go on my scooter and my bike, though last year I hated the thought of biking but now I love it =] . I can be a clown and make others laugh. I live with my crazy family my Mum, Dad, James, my older brother and Rosa, my older sister so, yes I'm the youngest.

these are not mine

I hope you now know some more about me and I would love you to follow me too.
