How can we help our world?

Room 9 brainstormed a number of ways we can help our world for Environment week

Turn off the lights when I am not in the room
Turn off the tap while I am brushing my teeth so I don't waste water
Put my rubbish in the bin at school
Reuse containers, boxes and paper
Recycle paper
Plant trees and plants
Don't throw rubbish in the sea so sea animals don't eat it and get sick

Here are some of the amazing vegetable animals Room 9 made for Environment day last Tuesday.

The Caterpillar

Our poem of the week is The Caterpillar. In the poem it says that caterpillars look like little trains. We like the end when it says they turn into little aeroplanes.

Old moving toys ad

What do we think of the toys in the ad?

Selina said:

My favourite toy is a slinky. It can bounce down stairs. You can throw the slinky up and down. I wish I had a slinky. I love slinkies.

James G. said:

My favourite toy is the Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robot. It has control leavers for the robot to punch. My second favourite toy is the slinky because you can race it down the stairs.
