We were learning to make a collage to represent the pollution in our oceans. I worked decently with my buddy. It was a little bit hard to get the finished product because our group was the only one with two people in it. Next time I think we could have a little bit more help. Something we could have done better was do a better job at overlapping and filling in all the white spots we still have. I would next time like to have a buddy that helps a little bit more. I also think we could have added a little island with a beached whale or shark.

Letter To The Principal, About Plastic Bin Liners
In room five we have been doing persuasive writing to the principal about plastic bin liners in the classroom bins. We were learning to organise our ideas in paragraphs and use a topic sentence at the start of each paragraph. I have come up with three reasons to stop using plastic bin liners.

Dear Mrs Wallace,
In our school we have plastic bin liners placed in the classroom rubbish bins when we don’t really need them. I strongly believe that we should stop using plastic bags in our bins. There are three good reasons to stop using plastic bags in our bins.
Firstly, every year we use up to 2000 plastic bin liners. We counted all the bins that have plastic bin liners in them. That is a lot of money and if we stopped using them we could save hundreds of dollars over time and buy sports equipment and lots of other things.
Secondly, mostly dry materials go into the bins. All the rubbish goes into big black sacks so why have all the rubbish in bin liners if it’s just going to go into a big sack? Only a few of the school’s bins have wet materials go into them (the staff room and the chook bin).
Thirdly, putting plastic bin liners in the rubbish bins causes pollution and kills sea life and land animals. If we stop using plastic bin liners we could save hundreds of animals lives. Not only that, but the resources used to make plastic bin liners such as oil can only be used once, so every plastic bag cannot be made into something brand new.
In conclusion, I think it is a waste of earth's resources to make plastic bags that can only be used once. Also pretty much dry materials go into the bins but some of the bins have wet materials like the chook bin so we only need two or three bins that need plastic bin liners. With the money we would have spare, we could buy more relevant things such as sports equipment and better projector equipment, plus we could save animals.
Yours sincerely

El Gregoe
Yesterday we had a magician and ventriloquist come to our school called El Gregoe. El Gregoe showed us the 5 steps to being a good student: respect, helpful, trustworthy, responsible and caring. He also showed us some very cool birds from Africa like a big parrot. He showed us some magic tricks and told us how he became a magician. One of the magic tricks was he had an empty box and he got someone from the crowd and he got a wand and it didn't work but he kept going until he had a huge wand and that was just one of his many magic tricks. Here are some photos.
