KB Blake VR Programme

WALT: Know why and how our oceans are being polluted.

Last Tuesday 2 girls came into our class with VR headsets. When we came into class we could see all the headsets so we went to our seats and the 2 girls had a little korero with us. We were going to look at the sea. So we put our headsets on and the 2 girls started playing the videos. They were all very cool, they had divers filming it. We were learning why and how our ocean is being polluted. One way the ocean is being polluted is from people littering and then all the rubbish goes into the waterways then the rubbish floats down the waterways into the ocean.

Bio poem

Toroa

Majestic, Magnificent, Endangered, Wide-winged

Lover of hanging out with their hoa, clacking and clappering like noisy neighbours.

Who feels scared of those flags that flap around even though they are a safety device.

Who needs their tubenose system to filter out the unhealthy salt from their body.

Who gave their body parts to Pakeha to make tobacco pouches and pipe stems.

Who fears the thousands of baited hooks that fishing boats set which could kill tens of thousands of their whanau.

Who would like fisherman to use strategies to avoid catching and killing albatross and other sea birds.

Who comes from the freezing cold Southern Ocean that leads to Antarctica.
