Causes and consequences of changes in our oceans

 Causes and consequences of changes in our oceans

Because of global warming and plastic pollution the ocean has been changing, the ocean is rising and getting warmer so fish are dying and the ocean is rising because since it's getting warmer the ice is melting making the sea levels higher.  Also, each year more and more plastic is being dumped into the ocean. This is a problem.

Global warming is a big part of the ocean rising and the earth is getting warmer everywhere even in Antarctica and the Arctic. This is causing the ice to melt into the ocean making it rise. The ocean has been rising for a long time. It rises about one-eighth of an inch per year. If the ocean keeps rising it might flood towns and cities and it will probably stay like that. Soon it's just going to be the ocean and nothing else! So we should do whatever we can to stop climate change.

It's not just the land getting warmer, it's the ocean too. This means that fish and coral reefs are dying, cold-water fish, and warm water fish are too. Because The warm water is turning too hot and the cold water is turning warm. The fish recycle the nutrients they take in, providing the fertilizer seagrass and algae need to grow, so if the fish are dying so are the seagrass and algae.

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest problems in the ocean. Each year about  6 billion tons of plastic goes into the ocean, it is an ongoing problem that only we can fix. 100,000 marine animals die each year because of plastic. Our oceans are becoming less and fewer animals and more and more plastic. Let's say in 2050 when you go fishing you're going to be catching plastic milk bottles instead of fish.

In conclusion please help save our oceans. Just imagine not being able to go swimming because of plastic pollution. Imagine if the world started flooding because of global warming. We can help our environment by putting plastic in a bin and not in our ocean, or not using as many fossil fuels as we are using.

Why flooding causes destruction

Why flooding causes destruction

Flooding is a natural cause. Flooding can also cause lots of damage to towns, cities, cars, power poles and also people. Flooding can be caused by overflowing rivers, broken dams, storm surges and tsunamis, but the most common flood cause is by too much rain.

Flooding causes a lot of damage, and most times about 40 billion dollars to fix, flooding goes all over the world. When floods occur they often bring sand, dirt and other substances. Those things build up and make the flood higher above ground. The force of the water also pushes things over and carries them in the flood, and those things can knock other things down or carry things with it. Such as, houses, shops, power poles and cars.

Flooding doesn't just destroy things, it also messes the towns or cities up. After a flood it takes a long time to clean up and sometimes lots could die or be injured.

It also means some people don't have anywhere to live.

To reduce this problem we could build a wall to stop the flooding and build some houses on hills.  Most importantly build the towns and cities in a non flood zone, that way everyone can be safe.

In conclusion flooding is a huge problem for people and costs a lot of money.  It leaves a giant mess to clean up and it takes a very long time for the damage to be repaired. It would be great to build out of flooding zones, and have plans if a flood does occur.

Why we should ban pastic

Why we should ban plastic

There is tons of plastic in the world, why do we need all this plastic? It just sits there in landfills blowing away into oceans and lakes. People just think that all the plastic will just break down, well it doesn't it just turns into smaller and smaller pieces.

Millions of tons of plastic are dumped into landfills each year, but what does it do? Well once the plastic is in the landfills it either blows away or it just breaks down into tiny pieces that go into the soil and water. It can take up to 1000 years to break down plastic. 

Every year 8 million metric tons enter our ocean, that's a lot just think of all the animals that die each year because of eating plastic bags or getting stuck in plastic bottle holders. Over one million sea animals die each year because of our plastic. 

Out of the 8.3 billion metric tons that have been produced, 6.3 billion metric tons have become plastic waste. That's only nine percent recycled. That means that the rest of the plastic is out either in our oceans, lakes or just blowing around.

Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year and 50% is single-use only used for several hours or days only and then is on the earth for at least several hundred years.

Plastic is a very big problem for our environment. It is polluting our oceans, rivers and it's taking over our land. It's probably even in the dirt that is under the grass on your school field or your front lawn and you don’t even know. We need to stop plastic in general, not just plastic bags or plastic bottles but every single plastic. This is a big problem and it's hard to believe but we made this problem so now we have to fix it back to the way it was.

Trench warfare

Trench warfare

Trench warfare was used to protect the soldiers from the gasses and gun fire. It was also used to try and make the gas explosions less effective.  But living in trenches wasn't so easy.

Trench foot. 

In the trenches it was muddy and wet. Many of the soldiers got sick or had health problems. When the soldiers were in the trenches their boots and socks were almost always wet causing trench foot. Trench foot was when your skin started peeling off or your toes started coming off. It was horrible. but the soldiers who had this were sent home.

The trench rat. 

In the trenches there were lots of bugs and things living in there but there were also trench rats. Trench rats were a fat rat that would go through the trenches and eat all the food and at night they would lick the cans and make lots of noise so it was hard for the soldiers to sleep. Sometimes the rats would even eat the toes of the soldiers.

To help with the trench conditions sometimes they would put boards down so that the soldiers were not always walking in mud or water, but not always it was very hard living in the trenches so most of the soldiers were in pain all the time. The soldiers that went home most likely died.

Life in the trenches was hard and had really bad conditions and just imagine what it would be like walking around with fungus growing off your feet or not being able to sleep at night because of big fat rats clashing cans together.

Social distancing

Being responsible online

Yesterday the 3/6/20 we had to make a poster about being responsible online and this is my poster.

The alien

The alien
I was walking back home from the mall when I noticed green goo everywhere. I thought it looked suspicious and a bit weird so I decided to follow it and it led me to a canyon with a strange object in it. I was very curious so I walked down and took a look at it.

It was round and it had lights on it. Then the door opened and there was smoke everywhere then I saw it A PREGNANT ALIEN!! Oh my god are you ok it was pregnant what could I do.

I helped it down the stairs and it was nearly naked except for a skirt it was green and had blue dreadlocks.  but really it was a rag so I took the pregnant alien to the mall to get some. It looked so fashionable after like it could go on the catwalk or be a model wow you look great I tell her SWAGGOT she says back to me I think that's alien for thanks.

I took her back to my house and made her a bed. Then in alien language she told me she was pregnant with a worm but she also told me that she accidentally stepped on him and he died. It was very sad.

But now my alien friend lives with me and comes to school with me and we live a happy life.

How to save the tutles

How to save the turtles
#savetheturtles
1.Step one
We have to get all the turtles to a special area where there is no plastic in the ocean so no polluting. It will be just the right temperature so the turtles can basically live in paradise, and there will be walls so no predators can eat the turtles but there will also be a lot of jellyfish so the turtles can eat.

2.Step two
We need to help and make a special hospital just for the sick turtles so no turtles die if they are sick.

3.Step three
When all the turtles are healthy and well we shall release them back into the ocean which will now be none polluted and safe for all the turtles.
And that is how we shall save the turtles

My book report: smile

My Book Report: Smile
Smile is a great story by Raina Telgemeier, it is based on her childhood. In this story, there is a lot of dental drama as well as friendship drama. Smile is a comic so it is quite easy to read and the pictures are amazing so I definitely recommend you read this book.

Raina Telgemeier has also done other books like this one that I really like such as Guts, Sisters, Drama, and ghosts.

A village comes to the rescue

A village comes to the rescue
It is said that it takes a whole village to raise a child, but today it takes a whole village to save a dog? It was said that there was a dog stuck on some rocks on a river. It made the village go on a rescue mission to save this dog. It took a kayak, some doggy treats, and the power of social media.

 It all started at 9:20 am when a lady spotted the dog so she posted it on Facebook saying that it had been there all night. Very soon the rescue started The first person who responded who had paddled his kayak out to the dog and tried to pull it on board the dog showed his gratitude by trying to bite him but the dog was too tired to bite hard but the doggy could swim so it doggy paddled to shore but whenever anyone approached it, it retreated back into the water.

 Eventually, the dog ran away but was later found by a child care center so the lady armed herself with a leash and a pack of doggy treats but it was still a bit scared so she had to go slowly to gain its trust with the treats and then finally getting he leash onto it then she put the dog in her car three hours after the rescue once it was in her car it changed the dog she said that it straight away trusted her and got in the front seat she took the dog to the vets and was later collected by the animal rescue group at the bay of islands and took it to the vet there it was a 1 or 2-year-old crossbreed it had a few cuts on its feet but the dog didn't have a collar or a microchip it is now being looked after by the animal rescue lady until it finds its owner or new home.

Alone

Alone
All alone I was walking in the woods, sadness dripping over me. I fall down crying thinking about my past and what's going to happen in the future. I'm all alone in the world.

I curl up into a ball and try to sleep my memories haunt me then I hear something rustling. I scream inside me, I squish even further into a ball. The tree trunk is killing me but I don't want to move, the noise gets louder and louder and I try and get smaller and smaller I'm so scared I just want to die at this moment.

It gets closer and closer but then I realize it was just a rabbit and give a huge sigh, but then I see a ginormous shadow coming straight for me I crawl to the other side of the tree breathing heavily. I can hear it come to me but then the sound vanishes and it’s gone well for now.

isolation poem

Indeed annoying
Situation that's bad
Obviously restrictive
And lazy at times
Leading us to...

That we don't always like
Independence is good
Obviously, this is all for a reason
Not doing silly things in these times

A dangerous pet

A dangerous pet
Imagine you had a pet that wasn't like any other pet maybe it was a unicorn or a monster but what if it was a dragon, a dragon from a different dimension well I live in a castle on a hill and yep I have a dragon as a pet yeah it is cool but it's a lot of work you have to make it big meals for it and you have to feed it like a hundred times a day but it is fun to play with plus if you have enemies you can get your dragon to breathe fire on them fun right? And you can fly around and see all the sights but you have to be very careful because it could breathe fire on you and when you're flying it could throw you off so be careful. And another thing is when you don't have your homework for school because you didn't do it you can just say my dragon ate it. So there life with a dragon as a pet isn't the best but it's still fun.

The hole in the fence pt 2

I eventually get to sleep. In the morning I go downstairs to have some breakfast but no one's there. I call out and look around the house but there's nothing unusual. I look in the garden, still nothing but then I remember the man and the hole in the fence. I go over to it and look, theres nothing so I turn to walk away. Suddenly a scream pierce the air and straight away realize its my mums. I quickly jump the fence to find my parents. I walk around in the fog and BAM...a gun shot. I race around not knowing what to do. After stuggling on what to do I find a door, after a shake it opens and I carfully walk down the stairs into a basment. Its dark so I have to watch out, theres lots of screams so I need to get to my parents fast. After looking around the basment for awhile I find my parents but no one is there with them so I quickly rush them out. As we're going out I see the man again but then instead of disapering he floats up into the sky and I know he won't come back.

The hole in the fence pt 1

We just moved here, I dont know exactly where but I already hate it. My dad lost his job and my mum was a house cleaner so basically we were forced to move from New York. I didn't really care because I didn't really have any friends. I wasn't popular or rich and basically thats all that the other girls were looking for. When my parents told me that we were moving I expected a nice small town were no one was rich and where we could start out fresh. Well it wasnt that. It was an old spooky village were everyone looked at you weird and it was creepy. We get to the house and walk inside. We're in a neighbourhood that is quite old but the house is pretty nice. I look inside and then look at the garden. There's a big fence and a hole in it. I peek through it and see an old deck and garden I dont think any one lives there, so I go back into the house. The day goes and I'm almost ready for bed then I here a shriek from the other side of the fence. I run outside and peek through the fence and see nothing then I turn around and AHHH theres an old man right in front of me! I go to open my mouth and he disappeares. I'm in shock from what I just saw. I go back to my bedroom and lay on my bed. I look out the window scared of whats going to happen next....

The invation

The invasion

At first I thought it was an earthquake but then on the other side of the hills I saw it. Giants and aliens, ghosts and clowns basicaly all your nightmares coming to life. I run to hide and end up hiding under a couch in a basement. I could hear rumbling as the ground beneth me shook. I want to scream but I can't If I don't want to be found. I feel the ligh come in. It was them, they had found me...well not quite yet. I hear them going, phew I say but then it comes back in and lifts the couch. Huh I wake up, phew it was just a dream or was it.

The haunted house on Cricket street

It was a nice sunny day, I was going for a walk to the park, everthing was going as planed until I  had to walk past Cricket street. Not very many people lived on Cricket street but the people who did say that cupboards open by themselfs and doors slam in the middle of the night.  But there is one man his name is Mr Tone. He's been living in the old house at the very end of the street for ninty eight years now. Thats a lot, its hard to believe that he's lived that long. Know one really knows him or have seen him but the people who did see Mr Tone say that he was tall and slim with a grumpy face. They say that they only see him on his porch and doesnt move for about five minutes until he decides to go back inside. I stand in the middle of the road staring at the streets, the fog swirls around me I try to keep on walking but theres something about that street that makes you want to explore it and thats exactly whats happening to me. I walk down the street disappearing into the fog. Its been about half an hour and I come to Mr Tones house the door opens and I see a figure.It's him! I jump into some bushes wanting to see him for myself. He comes out onto his porch I see him he looks more ghostly then human then it all makes sence to me. People only see him on his porch no where else and he doesnt move for five minutes straight and he does the same thing everyday at the exact same time I realise he really is a ghost I wait for him to go back inside and then walk back up the street and back home. In the morning I wake up and look out the window and there he is staring right at me.
