Reflection/Wellbeing

Factor 1: Screen Time

Factor 2: Workout

Factor 3: Friends

For the past few days, I've been doing fine on my well-being assessment, Mostly on doing the factor 1 and 2. The ones are giving yourself a break and the two's are about workout and stuff. The factor 3 I kinda feel not doing well at it because It's hard to stay away from your friends even tho they're a bad influence on me, so I kinda need to improve that area. On factor 1 I've been doing well at it because I have data where it shows how many hours I've been on my phone, and as I can see I am improving so fast. On factor 2, I kinda feel I need to improve more a little bit because sometimes I don't wanna do it. Today I need to do 40 sit-ups, 40 Russian twists, and 40 Russian sit-ups for my 3 weeks workout wellbeing assessmenty.

Holiday

On the Holiday we went to Akaroa to fish and have some fun with family friends. Every time we go somewhere we won't be able to complete our holiday without fishing because I think everyone enjoys it, mostly when you catch a fish and it keeps pulling the fishing rod you feel the excitement. We didn't only catch fish, we also ate there with our family friends, the trip was fun! I would describe my family as a adventurer because they like going on a long road trip.

Sustainable Fishing

                           Sustainable Fishing 

How is commercial fishing a threat to dolphins and birdlife?

Overfishing also threatens the dolphins' porpoises' life. 300,000 dolphins are killed each year bycatch, including the whales. Dolphins are being caught with the nets that people use to catch fish in the ocean, and the worst thing is, before they put the dolphins back in the ocean, the dolphins were already dead because they can’t breathe. Commercial gillnetting has been killing so many dolphin species, like Hector Dolphins, and Maui’s Dolphins. Dolphins are being killed faster than they can breed in three decades. 23 Hector's dolphins die each year in gillnetting. Also with the bird's life, they are dying because of the rubbish. 14,400 sea birds are dying each year because of rubbish. 

Shark Finning/SOST

The purpose of shark finning is they will cut the fins and they're gonna make soup using the shark fins, and it cost very very expensive.  

Newspaper Article/Trashing Our World

               Newspaper Article 

A Great Pacific Garbage Patch is known for the pacific trash vortex. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is located near Japan, and the eastern garbage patch is located between the U.S,  states of Hawaii, and California.  

This ocean is almost entirely made up of tiny pieces of rubbish, called microplastics. This area is polluted by a lot of rubbish, it is killing 1 million seabirds and 100,000 Marine Mammals every year as well as many other species.

 

Polluting rubbish is a really bad impact on the environment and on the fish that is living in the ocean. People should avoid throwing rubbish into some random places. It could wash up into the sea and it could affect the saltwater fish, and if they die, the coral reefs will die too and the other many species of fish. If our ocean dies, we will die too, because the ocean produces over half of our world’s oxygen.  Dolphins and whales are dying because of people that keep polluting our oceans. The rubbish keeps killing our marine fishes because the rubbish turns into microplastics, and of course, the fish will not be able to see them, so they’ll accidentally eat them and die because it’s really unhealthy for them.

The people protect the beaches and reduce some pollution from ships. They contain landfills so they don’t spill in the ocean. They’re picking up rubbish as much as they could because if it washed up into the ocean, one single plastic could kill many fishes or more.  People have this type of object that captures and collects the debris in the ocean so that’s really good for the environment.  The really good thing about this is that many groups of people are trying to help and support to avoid and remove ocean pollution.  Some people are trying to use nonplastic when they eat and drink, mostly when they buy something in the supermarket they bring their own bag to avoid spilling rubbish in the ocean. 

                  

English/Term2

       P.E class wastes students' learning time. 

P.E class doesn't waste a student’s learning time, because P.E is part of the learning, and it teaches students how to be fit and healthy. P.E is not only about sport, it’s also about being healthy, diet, body control, learning new things, and some other sorts of active stuff. I don’t agree about the topic because many people find happiness in sport and they could help you to distract yourself when you’re going through some problems like depression or family issues. 

P.E is actually about learning, it teaches students how to improve their health and personal wellness. That stuff that people learn in P.E is really important because It’s about body control, wellness, and health. If School doesn’t have a P.E subject that is very unhealthy for their students, they must learn how to be fit. There are so many things that you could learn in P.E not just on other subjects. Try new things and challenge yourself.
