Plastic Good or Bad

Plastic is Bad.

Most plastic are bad because oil is a limited resource.

Pieces of plastic in the ocean are harmful to animals.  birds can mistake them for food.

  

Plastic that can not be recycled goes into landfill. Many plastic items end up in the rivers

and oceans.

some plastics take thousands of years to break down when they do chemicals can leak out of the landfill site if the area has not been properly prepared.

Sea creatures can become caught up in plastic nets plastic bags as well.

ANZAC Landings

                                   The Taste of Hell

It’s 2:45 am on the 25th of April 1915. I’m so hot. I’m sweating like a waterfall we are very close to shore. My friend and I are at the best place at the back of the landing boat. I’m really pumped but scared at the same time.

We're getting closer and closer to  shore. I don’t know what's going to happen. I can’t see anything. It’s pitch black as the moon dipped behind the clouds. Suddenly we all hear a big BOOM!!!! I saw soldiers diving off the landing boat were land on the shore my legs were shaking like a earthquake.

I don’t know what’s going to happen now…….

My Speech

My Speech

Hi everyone. Today I’m going to tell you three reasons about why we should do our Homework and why it is good for us to do it. Okay so  now let’s get started with my speech.

Point 1: Did you know that kids like us get smarter by doing their homework everyday?

Homework also helps  keep your brain active everyday when you are at home so it is important that you do your homework.

Point 2: Homework is a really good strategy for you to to do at home because it increases your learning and it helps you a lot with your subjects like Maths, Reading, Writing and your spelling too.  This extra learning will help you to do better at these subjects when you are in school.

Point  3: Homework in Primary School is really easy for you to do.  It is good practice for you because  when you go to Intermediate it becomes a lot more harder and harder for you to do.  But if you get used to doing Homework at Primary School  it becomes easier to do as you get into the habit of doing it when you are at home.

So if I was you I would do my  homework every day and I would keep the effort up on my Homework.

Thank you for listening to my speech and I hope you do your homework everyday and always remember to keep the effort up.
