Technology

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere were doing technology. I am making a candle holder to sell for our camp next term. We are going to make the candle holders out of pallets. First we had to take the pallet apart and then pull the nails out of the wood. Then we had to sand the wood to make it smooth. Then we had to swap around so everyone had a turn at everything. Then our teacher Whaea Beaks has some candles at her place. Matua Pep is helping us do our project and he is very helpful. We have different groups and we go out at the same time. It is very cool I really like this project.

Garbage Patch

We have been doing  stuff about the great pacific garbage patch it has a lot  of rubbish.
There are some scientist that clean up the rubbish,
they have big boats that have nets behind them that grabs heaps of rubbish.
 There is so much rubbish that it covers 1.6 million km, the size of the garbage patch is three Frances.
The garbage patch has 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic that is 250 pieces of plastic for everyone in the world.
I don't feel good about having that much rubbish. There should be a law that everyone in the world picks
up 250 pieces of rubbish a day to keep everything nice and healthy.
