Discovery time week 8 term 2 

Today at Discovery time I learnt how to unicycle with Rosemary and Lucy Rosemary taught me how to do it because I never have done it before. It was really hard, we worked on the court and outside but then it started to spit so we went outside by room 13.

A struggle for me was learning how to unicycle because it was hard to find the right point of balances and it

My claim: there's too much rubbish in the world  

Do you ever see rubbish on the ground and you just can't be  bothered picking it up and you just carry on? Then think about this.       

Every time you litter or don't pick up rubbish it could access the waterways. After it gets into the waterways it could get access the Ocean.  Just imagine a beautiful little hungry turtle inspecting a bright red chip packet. What do you think a hungry sea turtle will do, gracefully swim away? I don't think so. I think that sea turtle would think it was his or her lucky day and try and chew on it.  After a while they could survive or even suffer because they are choking. Imagine how painful that would be for the poor turtle. It isn't  just turtles it is all types of hungry animals like birds, fish and many more innocent animals. 

The rubbish could even clog up the waterways and then we won’t get water, the water could have horrible bacteria in it which could make us very sick and possibly die but hope fully it won't get that bad. If bacteria increases in water we will have to start boiling our water so we don’t get sick which would be really annoying after a while, don’t you think?

 And what about plants like little plant trying to grow and then something like glad wrap or tinfoil coming and covering it and blocking it from the sun and rain I don’t think that that plant will survive much longer do you? 

Rubbish on the ground usually flies up because of the wind and gets stuck in the

trees which isn't good because trees are really important and give oxygen to people and 

without oxygen we can't breath and then we will suffer and die.

So we really need to stop polluting our Earth because we are using this Earth like we 

have another one to go to, and did you know that if 1 billion people used 1 straw per 

day for 750 days they’d have used 750 billion plastic straws that could fill 190,050 

American school buses. That's the same weight as 375,000 African elephants. Just for 

those people who use straws a lot. So start putting rubbish in the bin and while we're at it 

 we might as well plant couple 100 more trees or so too.  Let me leave  you with this 

thought.. if you all picked up one piece of rubbish a day the world would look so much

better.

This is what the world might look like one day( hopefully not)

DISCOVER TIME WEEK FOUR TERM TWO

Today at discovery I did geoboards.  Geoboards is where you put whole lot of nails all over a piece of wood. It doesn't matter how close or far, it is just make sure that they aren't too close that the loom bands just sit there. You can make a pattern or you can just do it crazy. After you have done that you put loom bands on and make random patterns with the loom bands.Today I worked with Lucy Hale outside on the court on the green seats. I worked really well and I got three and a bit done. I feel like I got a good amount of work done.

A struggle for me was when I was hammering the nails into the wood, it was hard because the nails wouldn't go into the right spot so I would have to pull them out and it was a really big struggle to do that but I did it with a bit of help.

What I've learnt today I learnt that you can make so many different things with nails, wood a hammer and loom bands. 

What is your next step? My next step is to teach others how to make them and to make more designs and more cool patterns.
