Reducing Plastic
Today, I’ll be teaching you ways to reduce the amount of plastic you use! I recommend using my strategies I found so we can save the environment and stop taking advantage of the Earth. Stay tuned!
One way to reduce plastic is by using a hierarchy called the 5 R’S. The 5 R’s is a hierarchy explaining how to reduce the amount of plastic going into the environment. Let me tell you what all the 5 R’S means. The first R is REFUSE, to learn how to refuse you can’t buy products with very unnecessary packaging. For example, those products might be Pringles, we should stop buying Pringles until they change their packaging because turns out their packaging is the WORST to recycle, so I recommend not buying it until they finish with their new package! Even if pringles are delicious, our Earth is definitely more important than pringles! The next R is Reduce, too reduce you need to stop using things that can’t be recycled. And you also have to try and stop using single-used plastic. I believe plastic bags can’t be recycled unless you just keep them. If you reduce there will be a LOT less plastic in the landfill!
The third R is Reuse, for example, like I said earlier. You could reuse your plastic bags if you have one! Instead of recycling it or throwing it in the bin, keep it! Another example is reusing water bottles! If you bought one, you could just keep it and just refill it at your house! Doing this will prevent even more rubbish going to the landfill! Now REPURPOSE, if any of the last steps don’t work, you should definitely try repurposing it. For example, using cardboard for storage, newspaper for maybe paper mache! And finally the last one, which is recycle. If NONE of the steps work, the best thing you can try to do in recycle. Recycling is probably the worst one out of all of them, but it’s better than putting it in the landfill. I’m guessing you know what to recycle, but if you don’t let me tell you! You can recycle things like soft plastic, all types of bottles like coke and more!
Now another important thing is to cook. Instead of buying HEAPS of fast food, try cooking fresh and healthy meals! Like currently I’m trying to learn how to cook so in the future I’ll be able to reduce the amount of trash I use and to become a healthy person as well! It’s extremely important to cook fresh and healthy meals because it’s good for the environment and good for you! Personally I’m not a huge fan of vegetables, but I’m gonna try and get used to them and eat them for my future self! It’s better to cook instead of buying fast food everyday because first of all, it’s a waste of money, second of all it has heaps of trash in them and lastly it won’t be healthy for you. Yes, fast food tastes amazing, but I would recommend buying it like a few times a month to just treat yourself from eating all the healthy stuff you consume!
So if you do all these things you’ve learnt in this writing you’ll be able to become a healthy person, and a fantastic person for trying to reduce the amount of plastic you use. Even if you do these things and still use plastic, it won’t matter because at least you’re taking the time to save the environment!
Task description.
Today I finished my writing that includes strategies to reduce the amount plastic we use. For example, I talked about the hierarchy of the 5 R's.

Task description.
Today, in the element of arts we are learning about lines! We learnt about different types of lines, like short lines, wavy lines or NARROW lines.
We also learnt that lines can show feelings, for example. Diagonal lines can look like angry eyebrows so that's why I did diagonal lines for angry!
Immersion Assembly - Highlights!
This Monday, we had our very own immersion assembly! This is our last immersion assembly for the year and our new topic/theme is called “Art Alive”. I’ll be sharing with you my highlights from what I experienced during the assembly!
One of my highlights was watching the very funny movies our wonderful teachers created. I will be talking about my teacher's movie, team 5! Unfortunately, 2 of our teachers weren’t there. Luckily one of them are back, but if you’re reading this please give Mrs. Ilaoa a big prayer in her comments! Or at least wish her good luck during these very unfortunate events. So in team 5’s movie, Mrs. Va’afusuaga and Mrs. Moala were acting as visitors of the Museum. They were both walking up to different legends/paintings. My favourite painting was Mrs. Stone’s part. She was meant to be a chilli but instead looking more like some sort of sausage!
I forgot what artist it was but what I learnt from him is that he paints all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
But great job to our other teachings doing the acts!
That is my highlight during the Immersion Assembly!
Task description.
Today, we wrote about our Immersion Assembly on Monday. We had to write in awesome words about our highlights during the Assembly! Of course I had way more highlights but this is the one we had to write about!
