"To Waste Our Life" Short Retell

Kia Ora and welcome to my next blog. In this blog, I will be telling you about what we learnt in our Reading Workshop. This week, we have been working on a Kiwi Kids News article called, "To Waste Our Life", by Ariana Hunt. She was explaining about what online shopping and/or online shoppers are doing to the environment. 

In our Reading workshop with Koka Ngaire, she told us to rewrite a shortened version of the year nine's looong article in one small paragraph. Below is what I wrote:

"To Waste Our Life"
The Plastic, Or The Fish? 

Although online shopping is cheap, and sometimes easy, it isn't the healthiest and most ideal thing for the environment.

The littlest thing can make a big difference.

All around the globe, people spend up to $3.6 billion on online shopping. What are we doing? We are wasting our money on things we don't need, and depending on how much "plastic" wrapping is on your parcel, you're technically buying the plastic. This present day, citizens and people around the world are trying to stop this, and we need to, but not all agree with that; not all want that. We are not surviving this, and neither are the fish.

Draguin Poem L3 Writing

 In Our L3 Writing SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar), We wrote penguin poems but, with a twist; Our penguins would be turning into dragons! My Penguin/Dragon is called Draguin, And in the next paragraph, I will show you my poem.

My nest is warm with fluffy hay, I wake up with a cough today.

Smoke is coming through my nose, "Quick, get a hose!"

All my friends gather around, asking, "Where's the show grounds?"

My feathers are burning with flames that bling, then all of a sudden, I sprout new wings!

I feel like my life has ended.

What if another has begun?

That is my poem on the Draguin.

It is a pleasure for you to read my blog, Mahalo, Kale'a. 🐈
