Title: Environmental Problem: Intro: A problem is something that is bad in some way and needs to be fixed or improved. Environmental is relating to the natural around a human or an animal. One problem is having too much rubbish. Rubbish is something that cannot be recycled or reused. I am going to tell you three ways to improve this problem. Paragraph 1: One thing you can do is pack your school or work lunches with recyclable plastic and paper bags. Paper bags and recyclable plastic is good because it doesn’t have to go into landfill. Landfill is all our plastic that cannot be recycled or reused, buried underground. Paper bags break down when they get wet, so if they go into the ocean it will not be a problem. Recyclable plastic can get made into new thing or can get reused. Paragraph 2: Another thing you could do is not by packaged stuff at the supermarket. You should just make your own, because that will not have packaging on it. Plus, homemade food is always heither. Paragraph 3: One last thing you could do is burn your rubbish because then it doesn’t have to go into landfill. Burning your rubbish could be kind of good because then we would have no landfill. Conclusion: So, I hope you have learnt something from this piece of writing. Follow my three solutions I have given you and pick up a piece of rubbish if you see it on the beach because we can change the WORLD!!

Losing Sight Writing

Kia Ora Bloggers,
This week we did some writing about what could cause grandparents problem when they are getting old. I did mine on losing sight. Here is my writing:

Beginning	Title Copy your explanation title here.	How Grandparents Lose Sight.
	1st paragraph Define and describe what you are explaining.	A grandparent is a person who is old enough for their baby to have a baby. When people start to get old different parts of their bodies start to get worn out and they can no longer do what they could do before. This is called aging and it causes many problems. One aging problem that a grandparent could lose their sight.

Middle	2nd paragraph Write about one thing you can do to cope with hearing loss.	One thing that a grandparent can do as their sight deteriorates is to make sure they don’t crash into anything.They need to makes sure that the house is tidy and things are in the same places so there is nothing to trip over on the floor.
	3rd paragraph Write about a second thing you can do to cope with hearing loss.	A second thing they can do is to have regular eye check ups, they may need to get stronger glasses. They could even get contact lenses because then when they put their glasses down they might lose them..
	4th paragraph Write about a third thing you can do to cope with hearing loss	A third thing that a grandparent could do is to go to a retirement village where other people are  there to guide them around the place.
End	5th paragraph Wind up your writing.	Losing sight can be a difficult aging problem for grandparents to deal with but people are hopeful that improvements in technology will be  a big help for this in the future.

Pear Deck

Kia Ora Bloggers,
This week we did some more Pear Deck. This week on Pear Deck we were learning about how a grandparent could cope with problems that happen when you get old. We were learning about that because Greats And Grands Day is coming up. Greats And Grands Day is on Friday 19th of October 2018. Greats And Grands Day is when you bring your grandparents and you can show them around the classrooms and you can show them your work. Last year at Greats And Grands Day 2017 we did a hip hop routine. I liked this Pear Deck activity. Here are some pictures:
