Japanese food

Today I tried lots of different food from Asia. I loved the seaweed chips because it was tasteful and crunchy. They looked like plain chips, but they added little seaweed pieces. They smelled like the chips that we have in New Zealand and they tasted a bit like this too. It kind of tasted like American chips, it was very salty a little sweet and crispy.

Water Worries

Water Worries by Rachel McMillan

We are learning about the water cycle and its use

What are some of the things you use water for in your daily life:

We use it for drinking, washing, cooking, showering, car wash, watering the garden, cleaning etc

What can you do to reduce the amount of water that you use?

We should be conserving the water. We can use water wisely instead of wasting it eg. is to hand wash the dishes rather than using the dishwasher.  

Why do we need to conserve water:

 We cannot survive without water and because saving water helps to preserve our environment
How are we polluting the water:

We are putting chemicals down the drain and rubbish gets into the drains and into the sea.

3. What can people do to reduce their water use:

Take a shorter shower.

Effects of Air pollution

We went on a field trip around the playground and used a clean paper towel to wipe objects and surfaces.  This is what we found.

I went and wiped this clean paper from a car exhaust and this was the result of air pollution from vehicles.
