Making Adjustments

In the Kakapo class we have been learning about how put a solution to help the animals in the oceans to survive in the great pacific garbage patch we started by reading a powerful book that guided us to research, we all watched a video about sustainability which had a powerful message. The great pacific garbage patch is a place where heaps of over 1.8 trillion pieces rubbish is it is located at the coast of California wraps around to Japan then around and it is twice the size of Texas the biggest state of America.

In Kakapo we adjusted one part of our contract so that we can write a letter to the big businesses to make a change to their use of items that they sell for example were looking at mcdonalds probably the biggest fast food chain in New Zealand to use sustainable products currently their using plastic straws and plastic cups which is not Eco friendly.

Tropical

This week we were making birds, not normal birds, birds from the rainforest.  We did them from the rain forest because we learning about them. Firstly we had to find foliage from the rain forest to set as the back round mine is the Epipendola aureum , after we found the background we started to sketch out the foliage on the published paper when given the all clear we started using wax crayons we did some parts dark and some parts dark to add a good effect then we used dye to fill in the background after that we found a bird mine is the Oropendola the same process  as the bird but we cut it out and from the cuttings and 3D it, also we did some research I worked with Ricardo and Hiroshi I wrote the information and did some detail

About 2/5 months ago we entered our covid 19 lock down.  There has been 1504 cases in New Zealand the current events that have happened has been a shock but we dealed it well 1 time it was 87 cases but now its almost the 3rd week in the row with no cases and there are no active cases in New Zealand . Level 4 started on the 26 of March to 27 of April level 3 28 of April to 13 May level 2 14 of May to 8 of June and now level 1. So there is no same old same old social distancing it will be good to continue hygiene but not as often and finally restaurants are now serving indoors. It feels good because we can start reviving the economy and it starts our way to level 0 which is good.
