I'm so sad it's the last day of the term. It wouldn't actually be the last day, but we're the only day that hasn't missed a day yet so now it is our turn because next Tuesday are the workshops for entry selection to Enrich.
         
We started off with Leader board Chess. I played Katlyn and man she gave me a run for my money!! Thank heavens we had the chess clock though, it saved my life! In the first game Katlyn was left with around 9 players and I think I was down to about 4 players, and for the second game it was about the same. 

Next we went on to Passion Time. My Passion is Painting but because of the mess me and a few other people made last week we weren't allowed to paint, I think that's fair enough though. So instead of painting I sketched a mountain. To be honest I think I might keep to painting because sketching, doesn't look to good when I do it. 

We had a little morning tea and then went into P4C.  The topic for P4C was "Do we have the right to Pollute?". My answer was... Half of the Pollution we can't help, example: showering, toast and waste. For showering some of us just stand there and think about our day when the water was running. It takes electricity to warm the water and the longer the water is running the more electricity it uses up. On the lines of electricity, there is TV.  Ahhh the great plasma or flatscreen, but whats the difference between radio and TV except for the picture?? Yes it's alright to have a TV but don't blow all your money on a flatscreen. All anyone needs is just a small one. Think  how much packaging it takes to wrap a flatscreen TV, and now how much it takes to wrap one half the size?? Plus all the plastic it takes to wrap it, where does it go because it takes about 80-100 years roughly to decay into the ground. 

So pretty exciting day. Adios Enrich........ Until next term.....

Today we watched a sad and a little disgusting video. It was about the 10 Most Air polluted Cities in the world. At the start it said about how Las Angeles had 25 micrograms of Filth every cubic meter, and thats in the air!! I will now tell you one-by-one the 10 Most Air Polluted Cities in the World.

10: Kampour, India
9: Yasouj, Iran
8: Gaberone, Botswana
7: Peshawar, Pakistan
6: Kermanshah, Iran
5: Quetta, Pakistan
4: Ludhiana, India
3:Sanadaj, Iran
2:Ulanbataar, Mongolia
and finally the most air polluted city in the world is...
1: Ahwaz, Iran

When it showed you how polluted the air in Ahwaz was I felt sick to my heart. This was because when you looked at the air you couldn't see the towers or anything. I think that it would probably be unnatural to die of old age when you live there. After we watched the very sad clip of it, we had to do what we learnt and what we wondered. For what we learnt I put that sometimes instead of wanting things that you should be grateful of what you've got instead of saying 'I want this, I want that'. My wondering was.. In so many years time will cities almost be as bad as competing for the title 'Worlds Most Air Polluted City'. As we got further and further into the situation we looked up the Worlds Most Cleanest City and guess what...... Wellington was the most CLEANEST, Go Wellington!! And so on that happy note,
LONG LIVE CLEAN GREEN NZ!!

Today we watched a very sad movie. It was about how we are polluting the water and others are paying for it. For instance little kids, well all ages, have no choice but to drink the most filthiest water you have ever seen. If we keep using plastic bags then animals that live in the water will pay by DYING, because plastic will wrap around them!! The Turtles and Tortises are one of the most endangered species on the Planet. You guys know that if these animals die than we can't bring them back to life, we're not Cats who have 9 lives!! Also we think that chucking a little piece of rubbish out the car window, on the beach or even in the river but you think what would happen if everyone did that. Most people don't care about whats happening, but think of your Great-Great Grandchildren. If we keep polluting the water then we won't have anything to drink. We can only survive without water for THREE DAYS at tops. If we don't start to help then who knows what our Great-Great Grandchildren will live like, if they live. 

Here is a link to the Video. Pass it on.
