Creek Walk With Buddies.

I am learning to write about the Creek walk me and my class did with our buddy class.

On Monday the 27th of February my class and buddy class took a walk down to Dunkirk Road Creek and examine the different types of things that are located in that exact location. I had two buddies Toma, a year 7 student, and Garth a year 2 student. Garth is a young boy that is worthy of achieving life goals. We started our walk, it was a humid day and I we just finished lunch time. 

The walk down to the creek took almost all of my energy and when we finally got their my leg were aching hard. We got  piece of paper with pictures that Ms Barlow had taken a day earlier. Our task was to observe the creek and ask our buddy what they saw and find the specific pictures on the piece of paper. 

It took about 10 minutes for us to complete the quest because the creek was just behind Toma's house and he was a creek expert, lucky he was in my time. While searching for the pictures Garth was getting tired so I gave him a little ride on my back while running, for me it was a great way to keep my blood pressure up and exercise!. 

My goal for this year is to become strong,smart,healthy and fit for many years to come. "Come on in now" said Ms Barlow we all sat down under the strong heat rays of the humid sun. Ms Barlow asked what we saw and our buddy class raised their hands like crazy. Garth was one of those buddies who put their hand up and when it was their time to speak, nothing came out. I decided to teach him to have some confidence in himself and overcome his fears.

On our way back to school it was faster, some say on the way there it's long but on the way back is shorter. I found out that saying is true. I chose to give Garth a ride back to school as he was tired but Ms Barlow told him to get off and walk, I felt sad for the little dude. As we entered the school grounds many of us started running to get underneath the shade and away from the heat rays of the sun.

It was almost home time and I was the one with the responsibility of ringing the bell. We waved goodbye to our younger friends and started making our way up the stairs back to class tired. The classroom door swung open and soon it was packed up in no time. I looked at the time 3:57pm, 3 minutes until the bell, I asked Ms Komor and made my way down the stairs. "RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" the sound of the bell shattered my ears.   At last home time already.

Overall I thought that my time with our buddies gave me a chance to get to know some of the younger kids properly and find out what they have in common and what they have different to me. Garth is a funny young boy who has the potential of achieving what he wants. We found some things that weren't on the list like Eels, Mussel Shells etc. I hope next time I can get some more time to spend with Garth and Toma.

Here is my writing about the creek walk I did with Garth and Toma.

It was a great experience and I hope to do it again someday.

I enjoyed searching the pictures on the piece of paper, next time I want to look for more pictures outside of the 'box'. 

Please leave a comment!

Many thanks.

What Do I Know About Pollution?

Hmmmmmm?

What do I know about Pollution?

Pollution to me takes up space on our land and endangers the species of different plants and animals. Humans cause Pollution by burning fossil fuels, driving cars and trucks, manufacturing and mining. For me I think that people should start looking after our planet Earth because one day every living thing on the Earth might be extinct forever. Landfills are one of the many things that cause Pollution, all unwanted waste gather up into mammoth piles underground and then causes Soil Pollution.

There are 6 different types of Pollution, they are;

Water Pollution

Air Pollution

Soil Pollution

Thermal Pollution

Radioactive Pollution

Noise Pollution

Light Pollution

Water Pollution: In my own words I think that Water Pollution is when people throw their waste into seas, rivers, creek etc creating unwanted water that are both dangerous to  wildlife and people. It is also the contamination of water bodies without treatment to remove harmful compounds, and when animals or humans drink water that isn't filtered you can become sick and weak.

Air Pollution: Air Pollution is when gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels in automobiles, trucks, and jet airplanes produces several pollutants like; Nitrogen, Oxides, Carbon Monoxide and many more. It's also when factories burst huge loads of smoke into the air, and then we breath in that air and that causes Air Pollution.

Soil Pollution: Soil Pollution is when waste fills into huge landfills and are then buried underground making it harder for Mother Nature to protect the plants and wildlife from being harmed from waste.It is also caused by human chemicals that are wasted. Imagine all the different species of plants extinct? Future generations may not be able to witness the real life thing.

Thermal Pollution: Thermal Pollution is when power plants and factories eject both hot and cold water into nearby rivers,lakes,creeks,streams,seas etc, rapidly changing the temperature of the water. Some of the marine organisms require a certain water temperature and when the water changes suddenly they are unable to survive through out it.

Radioactive Pollution: Radioactive Pollution is when radioactive material particles are released into the air, water, or Earth from humans, accident or design. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, think about a nuclear bomb and how much destruction it can cause? When a bomb is set off it create huge amounts of smoke in which rises into the air causing Radioactive Pollution.

Noise Pollution: Did you know that Noise Pollution mostly comes from human technology? From cars to trucks and helicopters to jumbo aircrafts. Noise Pollution is when noise comes to an annoying or harmful voluming and is harmful to human and wildlife activity. When a Boeing 747 aircraft departs from its destination it creates huge amounts of sound waves although you can’t see it, you can hear it.  Before an aircraft departs, a man stands below the jumbo human piece of technology holding two orange sticks signalling the pilot were to go,  the noises are so loud they are to wear ear muffs created to block out the sound generating from the engines, that is called Noise Pollution.

Light Pollution: Light Pollution is when street lights fill the night sky, and for nocturnal creatures it can be  a distraction when looking for prey. It also obstructs the observation of night stars and neighboring planet’s. For astronomers light pollution has been a disaster. When a light is too bright it cause Light Pollution.

These are all dangerous types, but I think Water,Air and Light Pollution is being caused mostly by us Humans. People around the globe should be preventing Pollution from happening because fish and other sea creatures fills our stomachs with Nutrients, Vitamins and Fibre. Air helps us breath during the day and the light helps us see inside the most darkest places. But what would happen if all these things disappear?

Pollution makes the land unhealthy and filthy. And one day the Earth might not be able to hang on longer and might take the first step of decomposing! We humans need to take extra care about Mother Nature because Mother Nature takes care of us in many ways like giving us shelter, food and water.

Take a stand and call for Pollution ban!

Here is my knowledge on what I think
