Rubbish

Fish are been affected by people that drop rubbish into drain, which leads down the drain and into the sea, which kills the fish in the sea, which is no good to the fish in the sea.

Rubbish

People throw rubbish, out which goes into the gutter, then into a pipe, which goes into the sea. This can kill sea creatures.

Water Pollution

Faecal bacteria have been found in Tasman’s drinking water. 46 out 68 houses. Had undrinkable water. The council doesn’t know whether it is animal or human faeces. It has possibly come from septic tanks. Houses are starting to install water filtration systems.

Radioactive waste

Radioactive waste created by nuclear power stations remains dangerous for thousands of years.

Rubbish

Rubbish is a worldwide problem.
1. Rubbish can get stuck in animals’ throats.
2. Rubbish pollutes the environment.
3. We are running out of space to put our rubbish.
Do you now how long it takes for a plastic bag to disintegrate in the sea?
It takes 10-20 years before it breaks into smaller pieces and a lot longer before it completely disintegrates.

Climate Change

Did you know, I have been to Franz and Fox Glacier and I found out that since 1937 Fox Glacier has moved back 1 kilometre. If Global Warming continues the Glacier might move back in even less time and will cause the water level to rise and if that happens that would cause floods.

Room 3 as detectives!

One Wednesday Rm3 had a reliever. After lunch we had to pretend to be detectives and solve a crime about a stolen wallet. We got an Identikit (on a piece of paper) and had to draw what the witnesses thought they had seen. Then we got to be a witness ourselves and draw, then describe what we saw. Finally, we made our own Identikit and a suspect. It was really cool!
