Room 21@EPS

This week has been amazing.  Finally the school has come to their senses and started talking about the Earth’s most important thing.  Something we CAN NOT live without.

It is the ENVIRONMENT!!!    

We are learning about what lives in our environment , what animals are becoming endangered….even extinct and how we can really make a difference.

We have started Science classes.  We are going to go to different teachers and learn about different things to do with our environment.  In Miss Adamson’s class we learnt about animals that are endangered.  We learnt how to make smog and about how it is damaging our environment.  Smog is caused by pollution mixing with the earth’s weather.  

I would like to learn a little more about how I can make a difference to Mother Nature.

 From your Eco-Agent MM

 P.S.- You can make a difference too!! 

In Term 1 Room 21 looked at the meaning of different signs and symbols. As a class we created our own flags that represented our personal beliefs and values. Then as a class we brainstormed symbols that represented Room 21. We created a sketch of what we wnated our flag to look like.

JM & CJ worked with Mrs Tetupu in Room 25 and finalised the design before creating the flag using paints and printing techniques.

The Four Stars

The Four Stars represent the four stars in the Souuthern Cross that can be seen on the New Zealand Flag. These stars are shown on our flag to represent our belonging to New Zealand.

The stars also represent the fact that we are all stars in Room 21. The stars also symbolise that anything is possible of we reach for the stars. Like what Jonah Lomu said “Impossible is Nothing”

The Sun

The sun represents the brightness of every one in Room 21. We are all extrememely talented and have lots of different skills to offer.

The Sun also represents a new beginning. In Room 21 we believe that it is important to learn from your mistakes and that every day is a new day. We have to make the most of every day so that we can achieve our dreams.

The Planet Earth

The Planet Earth on our flag represents the world that we belong to.

It represents al the different countries that we belong to. There are 11 different nationalities in Rom 21. The Planet Earth symbolises our love of travelling and our dreams to visitlots of new and exciting countries.

The Planet Earth also represents our concern of what is happening in our world and how we can really make a difference if we all do a little part eg picking up rubbish, turning of lights……
