peace

Peace poem

Peace is calmness around the world

Peace is as pure as white paint

Peace looks like teamwork

Peace looks like kids saying nice words to each other

Peace feels like laughter and happiness.

popcorn

Did you ever wonder what’s in popcorn?

One day me and my mum went shopping.  I told mum if we can buy popcorn seeds. I plan to plant these popcorn seeds so I can learn about them. Then I can bring them to school and talk about it in class.

When we got home my mum and I planted the seeds and laid them between wet paper towel in a plastic bag.  We left it opened and we waited for ten days until it grows.

After ten days my mum and I planted the growing sprout  in a pot and waited for two weeks.  When we saw leaves growing we took them out and planted them in our garden. We saw stalks coming out and it kept growing and growing.

As I went outside the seeds grow bigger and bigger and the seeds keep on falling down  so I grabbed a clean bucket to fill it and brought them to  school.

this was a fun topic to learn about popcorn I hope we will do this again.

Plight of the sea turtles

Sea Turtles

What are turtles ? Where do they live ? how many turtles are there ? What do they do ?

I'm pretty sure you've been asking those questions. Well I’ll tell you about sea turtles. The sea turtles are threatened or endangered . We the people are the problem. We are throwing things out into the sea like fishing nets, nets, rocks, sticks mainly plastics.  Many of the turtles die due to plastic. They get tangled by rubbish or get choked with plastic bags. People are destroying their habitats and their nests. Every year people kill sea turtles for their meat and their shells for the black market which sells illegal  things which is not allowed. Baby turtles have a tiny percent of surviving only 0.1 percent of surviving. High tides,erosion,cyclone, and drought all destroy their nests sites. Predators such as dogs,rats, and pigs raid turtles nest for eggs.

I wish that turtles will not disappear like dinosaurs.  We need to preserve and help their survival in the sea.
