Today I used read theory for reading it was different but I didn't mind it, I just did a bunch of quizzes I got all of the answers right I give read theory a 7/10.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

The star fish poem
What is the main message of this poem ?
The main message is that you CAN make a difference even if its a small difference. In the poem it says " He picked up another one and threw it in the ocean and said well it made a difference to that one" to me this line gave me the main message.
The great pacific garbage patch
The great pacific garbage patch
In the Eastern Pacific ocean is the great pacific garbage patch. This garbage patch is on the Eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, it is there because of the natural gyres, they move in a circular motion which traps the rubbish from exiting the circle. The garbage patch is there because all the rubbish that ends up there is non-biodegradable which means it can’t decompose also meaning it will just stay there. Interestingly the garbage patch has over 1.4 trillion pieces of plastic.
One cause of the garbage patch is people littering because when people litter the wind will push the rubbish to the ocean where it will eventually make it to one of the garbage patches and it will most likely never leave the patch.
The effect that littering has is that the litter will make its way to the garbage patch and get stuck in the gyres which will add to the already expanding garbage patch.
In conclusion I personally believe that the garbage patch is very bad for sea life.
