Sunken forest

LO:  We are learning to listen to the teacher, engage in the book, learn from a fluent reader (teacher) and relax listing to an interesting book that we like.


The book is about a sunken forest, a kid called Mat was walking to school when an old laddie asked him if he could take her her bin in then he did and she offered him a jam bun or money he took the food not money. He kept walking to school he got there and he got accused of stealing by the school, and more stuff happened then the cops came and he got tolled of for stealing but he didn't do it and he kept saying that but they dint believe him because his dad went to jail for stealing and he went to camp with older people. Later in the story a dam built up and it broke and he was in the water and you'll have to read the book to find out what happens.

The Lorax

The Lorax

Today on a rainy morning the year 7 cohort got together in 7SH to watch the movie called The Lorax. We watched this movie because its an example of environmental problems and our new kete is about the environment.

The way this shows sustainability is because the Once-Ler started a business and he said "nothing can stop me" then he had taken down all the Truffula trees with the silk on them, he couldn't last long without the silk because it was not a sustainable object with out growing more Truffula trees to make the Thneed for his business. Then he didn't grow any more trees and he went out of business.

It was after that Mr O'Hare made purified air and sold it for money and became the wealthiest man in Thneeds Ville. Then he made more factory's which made more smog then more people would buy the air. After that Ted went to Audreys house then she took him to the back of her house where she had painted the real trees on the back wall of her house then Ted said to Audrey "what would you do if you got a real tree", then Audrey said "I would probably mary them on the spot" then they keep talking.

Ted went home and got his One wheeler motor bike and he had a ride to outside of town, to met the Once-ler. then the Once-ler told him about how the trees diapered (read the book or watch the movie to see what he says) after all that the Once-ler gave Ted the very last Truffula tree seed that he then planted in the middle of Theends Ville, to grow and start the vegetation rather than having plastic trees. you'll under stand it more from reading the book or watching the movie.
