Healthy rivers

Information report

In our ATN we are writing an information report. An information report is about an object, person or an animal. We use the W words like when, where, why, who or what.

Introduction

In our class we are going to be going to go to a river in Ōtaki to see how healthy it is. We need these rivers for drinking, watering plants, enjoyment and for animals. 80% of our rivers are poor quality because for some dairy farmers, topsoil and it is impacting on our clean green for New Zealand.

Features:

At Waitohu stream there live wild life like fresh water fish and more. The Waitohu stream come down the Tararua hills to the sea. Did you know how long the Waitohu stream is? It is up to 54 square kilometres long, which sounds long to me. In 2006 there was flooding because the mouth moved and it caused do to dune-erosion and it caused flooding to the stream and that’s a hazard.

Max The Yellow Flower

One day like all the other days. There was a beautiful planet called the plant planet, that has plants like the name of the planet ha funny right. It just looks like a perfect forest put on to a planet.

So more about Max. Max is a bright sunny yellow flower that stands there with his two green leaves and a green stem. He always sees his friend standing about like him.

Another day like all the other days but it wasn’t, but they didn’t know. Just like a normal day standing there. Something started appearing in the sky. . .

A black dot was in the sky and it started getting bigger and bigger. Max was scared because it was sucking all his tall tree friends up, then sucked smaller stuff up like his mother that was red as a rose. Max's dad put his leaf on his yellow peddle. Max's father took him out of the ground and put him into a flower buble and if you don’t know what a flower buble is it is just a flower that has not opened up yet. His father threw him out of the atmosphere.

In space there was a pink flower floating around and there was Max sitting in there. Max felt like he was going to die. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Max woke up to a big bang to the ground. He opened the flower up and he was in a dark alleyway, that smelt like old fish. All his friends and family were gone and he wanted to make more plants live because he is the only plant that is alive. His life was getting shorter and shorter.

He waddled along the footpath. Seeing the gray park he walked over if he was the only one there but he was. He stood there in the middle of the park thinking of what he should have done to save his parents. Max started crying, his eyes when red and his nose went clogged but everything started turning green. His eyes lit up, flowers popped up and trees. He fell down with a smile on his face and he knew that he did something good.

Writing game

Walking outside with the class to the bright sun. The teacher was holding a bucket of yellow splashing water. We sat on the two brown benches so the teacher could tell us the rules of the game. 

The game was called full teacher bucket. The rules where we had a cup and a ice cream container each and we had to hold the cup in our mouth to the bucket then we had our left hand to grab the water, walk back to with it in our mouth and put it in the container and do that over again for one minute.

We lined up in a line on the concrete, we had the cup in our mouth and my friend Summer had the cup in her mouth too. Everybody was ready. 

The teacher said go we ran to the bucket I got a cup of water the water felt warm and it tasted like water. We ran back and forth. I got a bit tired running but it was fun. I heard our class saying go, go,go but mostly to Charlie. The yellow water made my hands yellow.

The teacher said stop. I was happy how much I got in the container. Why did we do that? I don’t know, but the teacher said that we were doing it for our writing. It was fun to write.

I walk outside

Walking to the bench outside. I see the leaves falling off the trees and the birds flying in the. The birds are chirping in the tree with the people walking through the rustling leaves. I feel the green grass through my fingertips.

I smell the fresh air through my nose. The empty trees and all you can see is the branches. I moved my feet around in the mud. I felt the cold air hit my face. I saw the birds flying in and out of the trees. My hands touched the bark of the trees it was rufe and gray. The gray dark clouds covered the sky.

Bob The Dog

The yellow dog jumped on the owner's bed. Hello my name is Bob The Dog well that is what my owner called me. My owner likes me because of my bright yellow colour and what about my big blue eyes. I have a happy bushy tail that wags every day even if I’m sad. But I think he really likes my big chubby body and my really short legs. I don’t think I’m very chubby but he thinks I am. Do you know how old I am? Well I don’t either because I don’t know what years are. I’m cute on the outside but bad on the inside do you know when I don’t get what I want I will get angry.
