We researched all about plastic recycling.
We wrote our information on plastic bottles and glue gunned them to an old real estate sign.

Our group found out about how some things get recycled and what countries do best at recycling.
We made a triangle that represents the universal recycling sign and Jayde made a sign out of wood and sand.

We found out about Re using, Reducing and Recycling.

J.J. made a wooden stand with handles and Zaevian bought an old sign to use as the information board. We wrote our information on re-use paper and added plastic, metal and other recyclable items to it.

We made a robot out of bottles and a tissue box. Nihmaren made a hat to go on the top.
We put information about the types of things you can recycle on the back of our robot.

Our recycled presentation has lots of information about caring for the environment. We made it on plastic bottles, cans and paper. It is a mobile and we hung it on newspaper and used string.

Recycling

For the last three weeks we have been learning about Recycling. We have been making artistic projects for our focus on Recycling. Some of our parents came in to help us Glue Gun some of our art together and hammer some hinges on the wood. We made up a questions then Mrs Looney told seven of us to pick one question, each and then we got into groups. Then the groups went on the internet to find some information to present it on stuff that already been recycled.
They turned out great.

Pouakai Zoo - a recount by Hannah

We have been learning to write recounts. This is Hannah's.

On Sunday in the school holidays I went to Pouakai Zoo with my Aunty Michelle and my Uncle Kerry and my two cousins Ethan and Mitchell.

First we went to see the white tigers getting fed, they eat horse meat.

After that we all went to feed the donkey. The donkey bit my little cousin Mitchell. He screamed like mad!

Later we went to get an ice cream. I got a Bubble o Bill.

On the way back my cousin Mitchell was bleeding. Luckily we had a first aid ket. We had to pull over to get Mitchell a plaster. Mitchell said, "Can I have a Batman plaster." We all laughed. It was very cute.

I wish I could go back to Pouakai Zoo again.

reading to the class

It was a book called 'What stinks?' It is fuuny because they are trying to find the smell but the

smell was them.

Reading 'Green Eggs and Ham'

I am reading to the class.

Art work using paper

Today we created these art works using coloured paper on a black background. We chose the colours we wanted to use, cut out frames in geometric shapes, arranged them on the paper, glued them down and displayed them on the wall. We hope to put them in the office foyer later. What do you think of them?

THE MUD MONSTERS

After soccer practice last week, we all got muddy and Mrs Looney took a picture of us. We like playing soccer!!! Especially in the mud!

About Us!

This is all about Room 13.

Room 13 did some writing about ourselves.

Then we took a photo of each other. Then we wrote some words that described us. We stuck the words around the photo frame. We put the photo at the back.
