Year 2 – Rubbish News!

In this term’s Collaborative Learning Project (CLP), Year 2 have been exploring the idea that ‘Responsible Choices Sustain our Environment’. They have also been learning about persuasive writing techniques and composing their own texts to convince readers to make more responsible choices. We hope you enjoy reading a few samples.

Save the environment

Can you imagine if rubbish kept piling higher and higher until the wind blows the rubbish away into the ocean and ends up killing the sea animals.

Firstly, if rubbish keeps going into landfill our air will be polluted and hard for us to breathe. If rubbish keeps getting into our beaches and roads animals might mistake it for food.

Secondly, if rubbish finds its way into the ocean there might end up being more plastic then fish. The plastic will also kill the sea animals and there will be none left.

Thirdly if all animals on Earth get killed by plastic and pollution there will be food. Also people will be lonely, hungry, thirsty and cold.

In conclusion I strongly believe we should recycle and ban plastic so we don’t have any more of the above problems in our world.

Ban Plastic

I clearly believe and I am sorry to tell you that our home is dying. Do you know why? Plastic!

Firstly it is because too many too many people are using plastic. Do you know that plastic will ruin our oceans and destroy the planet.

Secondly shops like Coles and Woolworths have banned plastic bags and you should as well.

Thirdly it is very bad for our environment. If we destroy the environment we will not have a place to live.

In conclusion you should agree with me that we should reduce, reuse and recycle and ban plastic now!

Help save the Earth

Can you imagine if fish weren’t in the ocean anymore and they were replaced with plastic bags. Well then if you like fishing recycle!

Firstly I believe that if you don’t help to recycle the ocean creatures will die. If the ocean creatures die there will be no more rare fish, dolphins and whales. There will also be no more whale spotting or having a pet fish.

Secondly another reason is if we throw everything away and don’t recycle our air might be polluted and we will not be able to breathe. If we continue to not recycle we might die because we can’t breathe clean air

Lastly I am absolutely certain that we should recycle because if we don’t the earth will become really stinky and dirty. If the earth becomes like this it will be hard for us to live and there would not be enough food.

In conclusion I believe we should reduce, reuse and recycle so the animals don’t die and we don’t die and mother nature doesn’t die.
