Brochure - Omaru Creek

My brochure is based on Omaru Creek. I am trying to stop people from littering in Omaru creek. I am also trying to spread a message to everyone so that our creek can be healthy like it was ages ago. I strongly believe that we deserve a clean creek so that our creatures such as eels and fishes can have a safe and healthy home.

Persuasive letter - Drop in Cafe

Dear Mum,

There will be a ‘Drop in Cafe’ at school on Wednesday the 5th of April 2017. It will be held so you can talk to our principal (Mr.Hendricks) about my learning in Maths,Reading and Writing. We have tests from PAT and e-asttle and these are my scores: My score in Maths on PAT was 7 and the standard is 4. For my PAT reading, I got a 6 and the standard is also 4. For my e-asttle writing I achieved 4b which is the standard. I would really appreciate it if you could take out some time to attend this special meeting so that in the future I can accelerate in my learning. If you are willing to come that would mean alot to me because it means that you care about my education. I really need your help at school  so coming to this meeting will give me an extra boost in my learning. I hope you come to this meeting so you can find our my strengths and weaknesses at school.

Your loving child,

Alicia

What I have learnt - Omaru Creek

During these past few weeks I have learnt a majority of facts and issues about Omaru Creek.

From dragonflies fleeing the creek to clogged sewage pipes clogged. To relate to the Omaru Creek we drew the Tamaki Family River Tree. We drew the creeks that connect to Tamaki River. We also used google maps to solve how long it would take and the kilometers to get from 124 apirana ave to our house. We then took a stroll to Omaru Creek to test its velocity. We used paper boats to see if they would float. A few others and I  went to a River Talk and saw some locals talking abouts the creeks clarity and why our fish and eels are dying. Overall I think I have learnt a lot about Omaru Creek and I am happy that I have more knowledge about the creek.
