2019 January 8th,  water pollution growing more and to much use for plastic, plastic bags and 

Water pollution, for over many years our waters and oceans have been found with a lot of different plastics being thrown in. Many corals and living creatures have been dying because the plastic there never breaks down, is never being cleaned out or never goes away. Marine water fishers had many trouble finding fishes, tunas and other sea food but some found plastics with many fishes wrapped within the plastic. All animals in our ocean think that plastic is some type of food they can eat but really they are mistaken because plastic is easy to spot but hard to break down in tiny bits.

There are many beaches here that have lots of plastic and have been building up for a long time which makes it more for us to clean, all it takes is one more year of plastic being thrown onto our beaches and our world becomes a total wasteland. Our beaches are important to us because we can go relax there, have a swim and to also have a little fun with our families and friends too. But for that to happen we need to stop littering and just use bins that are nearby because it takes up plastic bags 1,000 years to break down or to decompose. But for other different plastics it takes about 150 or 200 years to break down, many plastics have been spotted on beaches and are hard to pick up with more than 1 of them.

Plastic bags, we use plastic bags daily and for transportation to carry stuff in, we sometimes use plastic bags 10x a day or even more for our shoppings. Plastic bags can take long to decompose even if they are really easy to use but are hard to get rid of, in 2021 there might be a chance that the usage will grow 10 or 20x more than in 2020 this year.

Yr 8 Camp

Task Description: Last week on Wednesday the yr 8s went to camp at Kauaeranga valley all the way out of Auckland,at camp we stayed there for 3 days but during the camp we took a few photos as our highlights. The yr 8 camp was so fun because we had to move from one activity/stations to another, those stations were Air rifles,Railway jiggers,archery,Go karts,Ropes,BMXs,Gym activities and Paintball, Our team names for our groups were called Coromandel,Kauri,Thames and Kauaeranga. This yr 8 camp is an leadership camp for our yr 8s to learn what its like to be a leader and how it feels,I have a few photos of me and my group at one of the stations which was Air rifles also I was the first girl in my group to hit one of the new targets that Kauaeranga valley staff got,I hit one of them which was a man the colour of it was orange. Also it felt great going on the yr 8 camp because I got to experience new things and I get to learn how they do things around at kauaeranga,so I hope that our yr 7s have a great time when they go there.
