Topic: Climate change

This term we were very interested to apply our three-level questioning to explore more information about Climate change and use that information to write an explanation and this is what I have learnt. I hope you would enjoy reading it.

 WALT write an Explanation about climate change 

Why does climate change matter? because climate change is when the water Rise in temperature means more extreme weather there's wild storms and heatwaves. Climate change is the changes that happen to our climate which affecting our world like a frequent storm, the cyclone that is happening across the world.

Firstly, what are greenhouse gases? greenhouse gases keep our planet warm for us to live in. Greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere and spread hotness to our planet warmer carbon most important gases. Greenhouse gases are nitrous oxide ozone sulphur dioxide. 

Secondly, greenhouse gases make our planet warm for us to live in. The greenhouse affecting the planet is when the atmosphere gets into planets and then makes our planet warmer. greenhouse in the atmosphere traps some of the heat earth's surface is heated by the sun and some of the heat is reflected towards space.

Thirdly, why does climate change matter? Climate change matters because it makes our planet warmer, the weather is frequently changing because of climate change. Climate change affects us because human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

Climate change is something that students need to be aware of because we need to explore ways to help slow it down. The icebergs are melting, the sea level is rising which affects the countries with low land levels such as the Pacific Island countries. Increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies like what we are going through here in New Zealand, health impacts in cities due to heatwaves, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns.  

Retelling the story, Fakapaheke

 On one sunny day, Alo and his brother and their parents went to the park. When they got there Alo was fiefia 'aupito (very excited) asking his dad if he could go on the slide. He was excited to show his Dad that he could go on the slide without anyone's help and his Dad said "ok but be careful." Alo lifted himself up from the wheelchair and onto the slide, his fa'ee (mum)and tamai(dad) were watching him pushing himself up the slide then coming downward head down the slide with a huge smile on his face. Again, Alo pushed himself onto the slide and went down he got back on the slide and laid on his belly so he wanted dad's help so he could turn onto his back he asked for dad's help and dad came and turned him onto his back. He went down again and again landed on his back. Dad was very impressed when Alo went down the slide and Alo was very proud of himself. His brother climbed up the slide and went down with his brother on the slide. Alo was excited that Dad had a day off to come with him to the park.
