Leilani - Picking up rubbish recount!.

Walt: Structure a recount

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


These days rubbish is really affecting our earth! So we decided to tidy up our school field and our Pt England Reserve , cleaning it up made our place much more cleaner! Have you ever picked up rubbish to keep your community clean?





Earlier before we lined up we got told that we were going on a mysterious walk down to our school reserve , to pick up rubbish!. To get to our destination we lined up silently and walked out of our school gates in the very cold , soaking grass weather. After a couple of stops , walking and talking we finally arrived at our Pt England reserve. I was feeling really cold , yet I knew that this was going to be a great cause for our community. We all gathered in five groups of five , straight after that we all got handed a rubbish bag each! I thought okay we are just picking up rubbish , but why did we get into groups of five? Two seconds later we got told that it was going to be a competition , as for the team that wins they will get ten minutes of cool maths game!





As soon as Mr Goodwin said “ Go “ Levonah sprinted off like a cheetah to find all kinds of rubbish! Lucky our Pt England Reserve was beautiful and clean , but yet Pt England School wasn’t so clean and we were letting our community down. So next we headed to zone three ( our bottom field ) everyone knew that there were always rubbish all along the fence so most people went there! But not Marika! , since she is always at the bottom field playing by the stumps she definitely knew that there were a bunch of rubbish everywhere just hiding in the gaps! We kept moving onto other locations in the school like our top field. Levonah and Marika were always coming in with a bunch of rubbish in their hands , but yet Eden had two pairs of shoes in both hands instead of rubbish! Walking around seeing so many birds and us picking up rubbish made me feel good because birds are eating rubbish but since we are picking it all up only the birds would eat the right food.





Once we finished picking up rubbish in our school and reserve , Mr Goodwin called the class to line up in their lines in-front of the library door. Haare checked each teams rubbish bags to see who would win the competition. In Hopes team they had a huge bark sitting at the bottom so they were disqualified , and as for my team Eden nearly put a pair of sandals into our rubbish bag. We were all laughing a lot at Eden! I was feeling really nervous about who was going to win , Haare finally announced the winner but we didn’t win at all. Picking up rubbish wouldn’t be something I would have imagined as for doing something fun , but I knew that this was for a very good cause.





Picking up rubbish I thought would’ve been so lame , but instead it wasn’t. I really realized that when your enjoying yourself while picking up rubbish just made the whole occasion much funnier and better. I would recommend picking up rubbish wherever you are , or just as doing it as a act of kindness to mother nature!

Task Description:


For this task we went out to pick up rubbish. Once we've done picking the rubbish up we wrote a great recount about our experience. We checked each paragraph and found our mistakes. I've learnt how not to be lazy when I write and how to write in a better language.
