Our Trip to waitakare refuse Center By Matthew- Part 1

On 29 April 2015 Room 11 and 1/2 of room 10 went to the waitakare refuse center. When we got there we were told to go to a small pitch of grass by the classrooms and we were given instructions.

Room 11 first activity was the classroom, in the classroom we learnt about how 65% of all rubbish in red bins isn't sopoused to be there. 10% was green waste, 40% was food waste, 15% was recycling!!! And the last 35% was sopoused to be there.

Our Next activity in the classroom was to sort a bag of rubbish into bins, the bins were: Recycling, Reusable, Paper and Cardboard, Rubbish and food waste. Then after that we had to score the other team out of 10. Shaan was chosen to score he other team out of 10, He gave them 8. Then Maya was chosen to score our team. We did pretty bad but Maya felt generous and gave us 7 and 1/2.

Anzac Poetry

WORLD WAR ONE

Shells exploding, mines blowing

Marching through the mud below

Through the stressful day and night  

Fighting for their precious life

Bullets blasting the air filled with smoke

Family's are praying their husbands survive

Then poppies give hope

To soldiers within their sight

While poppies stand  

Soldiers fight with might                                      

Their rifles down

They spy on the enemies

Then finally they call a truce

Among everyone throughout the fields

Far and wide and it stops

The dreadfulness stops

Will it happen again?

By Noah

Poppies.

Poppies,

shimmering in the sunset,

The sound of trumpets and voices singing,

Remembering the past when world war 1 was the present.

Poppies,

To remember the loved ones and honor the Brave,

Poppys  on the open dead fields ,

Still growing now poppys all around,

Poppies,

Make us remember the ones who came before us,

In the sunset standing alone the first poppy to ever grow,

Remember the poppies sitting under the twinkling  blue sky.

So remember the sweet sweet Poppies
By Mila
