Carbon Footprint

I read a book called how big is your footprint ad here is some information I found out about it.

What Is A Carbon Footprint?It is how much greenhouse gas you put into the atmosphere.

What Is Greenhouse Gas?

Greenhouse gas is a gas that goes up into the atmosphere and traps heat in the earth.

You cause greenhouse gasses by using energy, food and water.

How You Can Stop Greenhouse Gasses.

• Don't  leave appliances on standby.
• Make a compost pile.
• Get a pig bucket.
• Make a worm farm.
• Turn off running taps.
• Turn off the TV when your not using it.
• Turn off lights when you’re not in the room.
• Eat less meat.
• Don’t waste water.
• Buy energy efficient appliances.

This Is How My Family Stops Greenhouse Gasses!

• While I brush my teeth I turn the tap off.
• We put our rubbish into recycling bin.
• We brought an energy saving TV.
• We don't use a clothes dryer.
• I turn of the plug when I’m not charging my computer.

Coober Pedy

This desert isn't normal. This is actually a town called Coober Pedy. But where are all the people? Let me show you.

They live underground! This place was first made when people came here to mine they found lots and lots of opal. But in the night the were cooking. So they decided to make homes underground. Lots of visitors came and started living there. There was a guy who had to put an extra stair in his staircase and guess what? He found lots and lots of opal! I hope I can go there soon! I got this from Doggo News.

2012

My favorite thing in 2012 is being in room 20! I’m going to miss all the year 6’s.  

Thanks Mr Moriarty for being an awesome teacher!

Ending for The Great White Man-Eating Shark

 Today we have been making our own ending for Margaret Mahy's The Great White Man-Eating Shark. Here is mine.
  “Help shark, shark!” Mrs Scorpio yelled.
Then under water the rare sticky grey ink squid came and squirted grey sticky ink all over Norvin.
“Yuck!” he said as the ink went all over him.
Above the water Mr Leo passed Mrs Scorpio a frying pan and Mrs Scorpio banged Norvin in the head.

Back at Mrs Scorpio’s bakery Mr Leo asked Mrs Scorpio if she had any new pie flavours.
“Yes!” She replied “It’s called shark pie!”.

The end.

In memory of Margaret Mahy 1936-2012.

Letter to Vicky Jones

Dear Vicky Jones,

I love your story! My favourite parts are the two scary chapters and they are The Boy In The Mirror and The Dream because I like scary things.

Are you going to make a sequel? Can you please come to Parkvale School, Howard street, Hastings, New Zealand?

My favourite character is Chantal because she loves music and I love music. Do you play any instruments, I play violin?

Yours sincerely Kharn, Year 5 Parkvale School, Hastings.
