Managing Self - Litter

Litter
Let’s keep our school litter free and show others how we care for our environment.


If you are not using plastic bags to take home for your supermarket shopping or your wet togs from swimming, YOU are doing the environment a huge favour! Wrap your sandwiches in a reusable sandwich wrap or any kind of reusable container then you won’t have rubbish to throw away!


Ways to help:
  • Say no to the plastic bags at the supermarket or when you are shopping!
  • Take your own recycled bags and use them again and again! (Just wash them once in awhile) 
  • I recommend to watch this trailer about litter and rubbish. I'm going to watch the movie with my family>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zrn4-FfbXw
  • I would really like to hear your comments on your thoughts about the above linked video!

Why do tourists think they can just come to Aotearoa New Zealand and take things that don’t belong to them and do stupid things like, cross a lake in an overloaded kayak without life jackets? That is putting their lives in danger and the person who might attempt to save their life in danger.

Issues:
  • The tourists took the kayak without permission.
  • Overloading the kayak and not wearing any safety gear.

This type of behaviour is unacceptable and makes me quite annoyed and angry. If any of this type of bad behaviour were to happen again, I think they should be heavily fined.

Relating - Treasure Hunt

Rendered Image
  1. Where do you go sometimes to get a drink?

  1. I have 2 wheels and sometimes I come with you too school.

  1. Some time ago you might have come here to have your teeth done.

  1. Ring Ring Ring A Ding Ding!

  1. You have fun in me and i'm quite sandy.

  1. You might end up with me when you have done all your fitness.

  1. The first letter of my name is E, I have brown hair and 1 sibling.

Conclusion: I think the hunt was really cool. Maybe next time I will put more clues into it and make them harder because, the clues I put in were quite easy and it only took them 5 mins. Overall I think it was quite fun and I would like to do it again.

Managing Self-Improve Your Fitness


Fitness

For this main star I had to improve my fitness over a 4 week period and I chose biking. Each day I had to bike a certain amount around our block and our block is approximately ½ a kilometre. I started by biking around the block twice so I was biking approximately 1 kilometre. Also every week I would improve my distance by 2 blocks which is approximately 2 kilometres, so in the end I would be biking 8 blocks a day. Below is the graph
At the moment I am also doing pull ups over a 4 week period, and each week I have to improve my amount by 5 pull ups. I am doing these pull ups to improve my upper body strength for swimming. Also I am starting on 10 pull ups a day, that means I will end with doing 25 pull ups a day.
