Water worries
Water wastage is where we run out of water, how? You ask. Well, let's just start at the very beginning. There is a dinosaur drinking his water then soon after… oops he needs to go. The pee comes out and is laying on the ground, it is a hot summer day and all of the heat from the sun makes the pee evaporate into clouds and it leaves behind all of the salts from the pee. Then it rains dinosaur pee but don’t worry it's just water!
Now let's get to the important part. All water comes from everywhere the sea, lakes, rivers, and THE SKY!! But in New Zealand after the Christchurch earthquake we were running out of water, even though the world's water stays the same amount no matter what. The earthquake caused a drought which meant everyone had to try to save the water that was left. Each year our water wastage increases. The water cycle takes a big part in water worries. If the temperature isn’t right not enough water precipitates and it ends up people not having enough water and having to reduce it.
One big reason why we run out of our water is because of the farms. Lots of farms have many cows and many cows need lots of water. Also lots of cows need lots of grass which grass isn't exactly water but farmers need to put fertilizer into the grass for the cows. After that, it gets washed out then ends up into rivers, lakes, and the sea. Obviously, we can’t drink fertilized grassy water.
Hopefully this has changed your mind or at least made it understand that we need to reduce the amount of water we use and try to make a difference in keeping our water nice and clean for the sake of us staying alive. Also I hope this educated your brain a little bit also.
Today we had current events, which is basically a quiz about all the things that have happened recently that are usually on the news. We usually do this every week and after we have finished the t quiz we have to choose a topic about one of the questions on the quiz and research about it. I chose to research the new Chinese rocket that landed in the Indian ocean. They launched the Chinese rocket on the 29th of April and it landed on the 10th of May. I found this really fun because lots of people thought it was going to land in NZ! Maybe next time I could improve by adding more information and not being in as much of a rush.

My Class has started to do something new. Every Friday we get a topic that we have to research. This week's topic is Refugee camps. At first, I had no clue what my teacher was talking about because honestly, I didn't know a thing about refugee camps. I found this activity pretty fun because I love researching topics, but it was pretty challenging because researching it and trying to find all the facts is pretty hard. Next time I could maybe improve by adding a bit more information and adding a bit more color.
