LOVE YOUR COAST!



  • Term 1 Week 4  Tuesday .  We met an oceanographer called Oliver who explained that plastic is really dangerous for sea creatures. It comes down drains, and is blown by the wind but the tiny bits of plastic get stuck in the animal's throats and can even kill them. It would be so helpful if we picked up rubbish instead of letting it blow into the sea. So that's what we did at the new reserve called Onehunga Bay.  


LOVE YOUR COAST 

 I was excited because I was waiting for this moment. I was on the bus and  I was looking out the window because I was so surprised. The whole school and even me, had to pick up rubbish. I had a lot of fun but I felt hot so the whole school had a little dip on the other beach next to the Onehunga Bay Reserve. I had so much fun but the whole school had to go back to Hay Park School . I like going to beaches and we all need to love our coast!

I was excited because we were going to Onehunga Bay. I was shocked because I don't want bays to be full of rubbish. Before we went to the bay, two boys called Riley and Oliver told us what will happen if we throw rubbish. Plastic is making the animals die . When we went to the bay we were handed gloves and we picked up rubbish like cigarettes and glass. After that we were going to another beach and we finished off with swimming and making sand sculptures. 





Tearo's  day at Onehunga Bay 
 Oliver and Riley gave us gloves and we picked up rubbish. We all had hats to protect us from the sun. We had a little swim and then we got out and went back to Hay Park School, and went to class.

Happy New Year!


Term 1 Week 1 

  Morris  class welcomes you to a new year at Hay Park School.  We are just beginning the year and we are going to be thinking and learning about  manawaroa or resilience. We described ourselves today, our strengths, and also what we want to learn this year.  Most of us said we were keen to learn about computers and ipads. I wonder what you want to learn!
