Room+07+-+2010

Room Seven's Action Plan for 2010
The problem we have identified is....

Children are getting used to using the new system of sorting our waste. Some children are getting confused about where their rubbish goes and some children are just being lazy about their rubbish. We want the children at Onehunga Primary to use the bins properly.

Do we know how to sort our own bins?

We tested ourselves using the mimio.

Why is it a problem? - Looking at the wider community.

We read the story "Lester and Clyde." It is about 2 frogs who live together in their wonderful pond BUT... when one of the frogs goes exploring he finds that all the other ponds are polluted by human waste! We don't want our waste to end up hurting other creatures that share our planet. Now we understand why it is so important to recycle our waste!



**The Maori Prespective** We read the Maori legend of how the world began. We learnt about the Maori Gods who are the guardians of our environment. Here is some of our art representing the Maori Gods.

**Solutions to the problem...** We discussed ways we can inform and encourage people to use the rubbish bins properly. We thought about the ways we find out information when we are learning about something new.
 * We could talk to people nicely
 * make signs
 * make posters
 * make a movie
 * make books
 * sort the bins for people
 * Make a notice to give out

We have decided to make a movie informing people of how to use the bins properly. The best time to play the movie would be during assembly. This could be our finishing date... watch this space! Update: We are currently learning our lines. The first day of filming will commence on Wednesday August 25th. 30.8.10 Filming is now complete. We have viewed the initial footage and edited the movie. The movie will premier at our assembly in week 10. We are very excited to be movie stars! Here are some 'behind the scenes' photographs...

 



Here are some of our designs for the cover of our movie CD.
