What Impact does deforestation have on wildlife?



Deforestation is a worldwide issue that is affecting wildlife and their natural habitats. Deforestation is a major issue and we have to make a change today to save our wildlife.


Trees give us oxygen and if there are no trees then we can’t breathe therefore we will die. In about 100 years if we are still cutting down trees at this rate there will be no more trees left which means no air for us.


If animal habitats are destroyed by deforestation they will become endangered. We will have no wildlife which is like humans dying because of a lack of housing. Deforestation is endangering many animals such as mountain gorillas,the Javan rhinoceros and many other birds.


Global warming can cause wildfires in rainforests which means that people will cut down trees to stop wildfires from happening. Each year, millions of acres of forest around the world are destroyed or degraded by fire. Fires are a natural and favourable element of many forest landscapes, but they are problems when they occur in the wrong place, at the wrong frequency.


I hope we can stop deforestation,the major wildlife issue in our world. I believe that if we care about our trees and plants and keep them healthy we will have a better environment to live in for our future. Are you going to make a change in the world?

My 2015 Athletics day

It was a cold morning.The sun was rising and I could not wait for this day to start.I ran to school with joy.There was going to be long jump,high jump,sprints,hurdles,long distance,throw,discus and shot put.I was going to dodge all the obstacles along the way and do all of the events.


All the Year 5 and 6,Girls and boys were lined up to start athletics.My hands were sweaty and my brain was thinking about everything.I could not wait to give everything a go and to try my best.It was our turn to start and I was was jumping with joy.Most of the girls in my class hated athletics day but I was the opposite.


We started the athletics day and our first event was sprints.We had a run of the track.So we could get the feeling of running on the track before we start.We ran in a casual speed so we could use energy in the real race.Sprints is my favourite event and it is the most enjoyable for me.Mrs Langley said “we are going to start the races now,you are going to get a score from 1-4”.I was expecting not to get a four but a 3 would be my highest.The race just before me just finished.I was up next.


It was my turn and I was stretching and getting ready.Mrs Langley said “On your mark,get set, go”!!!! I was as fast as lightning,even though I was coming second.I raced to the finish line.I came second and the teachers there gave me a card saying three which meant I got a three. I reached my goal and could not be anymore prouder than myself.


The whole athletics was full of good and bad scores,injuries and joy, and excitement.I could not wait for the athletics next year.Bring on the blood,sweat and tears!!!!








Acency target explanation

Being a Agentic learner in Grill 2.0


The agency target in Grill 2.0 is how you learn,the target has 3 stages red-Guided, orange-managing self and green- being an empowered and Agentic learner.  We move up the target in 6 topics Learning spaces,learning pit,Managing and designing my own learning,knowing myself as a learner,Collaboration and Strive for excellence.We use these to develop our learning.

Learning Pit

A learning pit is where you challenge yourself to work your best and strive for excellence to finish your learning. We are the learning pit when the task is hard and we need to climb out of the learning pit by try to use strategies to finish the task. Being in the learning pit is ok because your are trying to challenge yourself and actually trying to finish your task to a high standard.

Learning spaces

Learning spaces is where you choose sit in the best place for your learning.I choose where I sit and who I sit with.If it's a group Collaboration I would sit where I could talk and collaborate.But if I need to be focused I would sit somewhere I could focus on my learning and finish whatever I am doing.

Managing and designing my own Learning

Managing and designing my own learning is knowing your next steps and going to workshops which will help you grow as a learner. Designing my own learning is planning out your day and trying to manage your time.If you know your next steps you can improve by going to workshops or watching a YouTube video about it.

Collaboration

Collaboration is working with others.It is working people you choose to and people who you don't know.Collabaration is not taking over and including everyone in the group and helping everyone.Collabaration us working as a group not a individual.

Knowing myself as a learner

Knowing myself as a learner is where you know your next steps and using them to improve in your learning.If you know your next steps it will help you improve.As a example if there is a writing matrix you can see if you have improved in your writing or not.

Strive for excellence

Strive for excellence is trying your best in everything you do.Not rushing your work but finishing it up to a high standard.If you finish your learning it has to be up to a high standard or you did not strive for excellence and just rushed it.

Hieroglyphic narrative




I was in a forest. Scavenging through the forest to get water and food to survive. My life was on the
line.Eventually I found a tree of reed leafs. It was the only thing I had. I ate a lot. After a while I started to get a stomach ache.I went to the tree to find out why I felt weird. In a code it said DO NOT EAT. It also said if you eat it you will only have 6 hours to live.


I was freaking out on what to do but decided to look for more clues on the tree.I scanned the tree and found a instruction to make the antidote. This was exactly what I needed.I looked at the instructions and it said I needed a jar to put the ingredients in it a broken twisted flax wick and one piece of a lions fur.

I headed to find my ingredients.I had a jar in my bag from my lunch.I saw twisted flax wick wrapped around trees.I ran to the trees desperately but suddenly a Lion jumped in front of me guarding me from the trees.I jumped for my life and trees to get some.But I was unsuccessful and fall on the floor in front of the human eating beast.

 The world flashed before my eyes.I couldn't feel my arms and I could felt blood dripping down my arm.I could feel the lion attacking I looked down and I saw the lion walking of.I looked at my arm and it was gone.

I stood up in pain and looked around for the tree.I found it and got 2 
pieces of twisted flax wick.I looked at my watch and it said I had only had 3 hours left.I had to get all the ingredients before I did. The last ingredient was water from a lake. But that was easy because there was lake right next to this forest.

I walked to the end of the forest to go to the lake to the water.I ran as fast as a cheetah when I saw the lake.When I got there I saw a sign saying vicious deadly creatures in water.DO NOT SWIM. I could see the dirty water fill of dead fish and water pollution.I got my empty drink bottle and quickly got the water so nothing would happen like the Lion.I put the water into my canteen and left.A shadow covered me up.I was not going to survive.
