Operation Christmas Drop

  To write a summary of the story behind Operation Christmas Drop in your own words.


 


This week for research we learned about Operation Christmas Drop. For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 60 remote islands that surround Guam.

Operation Christmas Drop allows the people living in these remote islands to sustain a better life and the communities to flourish.
I think this is a great way to help others and make a difference in peoples lives. These people are really grateful and happy to be able to remain on the island.

inquiry

LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice

     

I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision. If I was 18 I would vote for Labour because they want to help young people achieve success. This means if Labour Won the election in my electorate Jenny Salesa would be our member of parliament and Jacinda Arden would become the Prime Minister. I found it interesting learning about the different party policies.
 







Wise Choices Explanation

L.I: To Write an Explanation

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Why have our animals been eating plastic?


Because people are being too lazy to put their plastic rubbish into the bin, it is going into the drains and out into the ocean.

Sea creatures are dying or getting sick from the plastic because they think that it is food so they eat it all up. As a result of swallowing the plastic they can’t breathe or are unable to eat so they might die. 

It is important that we think about our actions and make sure we put our plastic rubbish in the bin.


Toady we wrote an explanation about Why is it important to make wise choices. My writing was about the harm caused by plastic pollution. We can all help keep our sea creatures safe and our oceans clean by making sure we put our plastic rubbish in the bin.
