People who influence me in my life

We are learning to identify people around us influence us as we grow.

You should check the estuary!

We are learning to identify and discuss the main ideas in what we read

Re-read the text and consider the main idea and actions and then think about the consequences.

What is the main idea?

The main idea is to tell people that we need to check the health conditions of the estuary. One way to check the estuary is to count the shellfish every 3 years.

+	-	very interesting
Every three years some volunteers go to beaches or rivers to count a number of cockles.	They check the soil that is going through the stream drain to see if it is killing the estuary.	If there is a lower amount of cockles that are bad and if there are a lot that is good.

 Explanation about an Estuary Health check

An estuary health check is when people that volunteer to go to beaches, streams or rivers to count how many cockles there are.

The volunteers have instructions to know what they have to do. In the instructions, they know that if there are a lot of cockles that is a good thing and if there are less it is bad.

Cockles are killed by the soil. The soil travels through the stream drains and it goes to the estuary. Also, there are more houses near the beaches and streams so there is more pollution. The pollution can take over the earth and it will destroy everything in it.

Estuaries are important parts of our environment. They provide food, shelter, fish, sea creatures like crabs and lugworms.

What is an estuary health check?

An estuary health check is when people goes to streams or rivers to go and count cockles to see if they are good or bad. To know how the cockles are good or bad they have to count how many there are.  If there is a lot of cockles that is good and if there are less that is a bad thing because that tells us that the river or stream is polluted.

How can people help with the estuary?

People like you and me can help the estuary by stop littering. You can volunteer for counting the cockles. Another idea is to stop making more houses or it will have to take the space of the estuary when there is no more space lift.

WALT: identify how Christian celebrates Holy Week.

Holy week is a sacred and solemn week for Christians. Through their liturgical celebrations - people walk with Jesus in each of his events that he suffered during his final week on earth. These liturgies grow us together to Christ. We are grown as Te Whanau A Te Karaiti into these events (Stations of the Cross) as if each one of us was actually there.  By being part of the activity of the Station of the Cross we are sharing the part of the life and the love that Jesus gave us at that time.

---

Holy Thursday

Jesus and his friends gathered together to that we know that was the ''Last Supper'' Jesus gives himself to all those who were gather at the last supper and his friends he tells him ''Do this in memory of me.'' He gives his love - aroha in service by the washing of the feet. He tells them to follow this example of love and service - manmanaakitagia.

---

Good Friday

Jesus gives his life in love on the cross. He give Mother Mary to John as his mother. He forgives all those who sinned against him. He reconciles them with God (Jesus is asking God to forgive them for what they had done) and he gives the gift of passing through death to life with God.

Low Tide

I walk beside you

across mudflats in

my blue gum boots,

over crackling oysters,

shells, green-ribbed pipes, the trace of birds.

When the tide is out, what lies exposed:

river threads of mud, old brown stones,

tiny mussel still to grow:

My sole prints lefts

on the ocean bones.

Poem by

Sarah Penwarden

Do you want a pet?

Pets are animals that you can take care of. They can be dogs, cats or other pets you like. A dog is a common pet chosen by pet lovers.

If you have a pet dog, you would have to take them for walks. Some small dogs will have to be walked for a smaller portion of times than bigger dogs.If you want your dog to obey you, you could take your dog to a training class. At that training class they would have to learn how to sit, roll, fech or lie down and you also need to clean all their business (poop).

Dogs can be trained to look after blind people. They would have to take the person to the shops or anywhere else. Even there are particular dogs like fire dogs. So fire dogs help people that are in fires. They try to take all the people that are in buildings out as fast as they could.

Dogs have been around for many years. They always looked after people and keep them safe from any danger.

We are learning to write the structure of an `explanation.

Wow, I didn't know that we could blow a bubble inside another!

Do you think rubbish is a problem?
