Foodprint

This week we had a visit from Michael from Foodprint. Michael has told us about her job, and why she started it. She started it because she was concerned about the food waste in the world. She has showed us a video all about food print and what it does. Foodprint is an online app that you can use to buy food that people have not been able to sell at their stores due to the lack of customers that like the kind that was made. Michael was planning this app/store for 2 years but she has had it open for 6 months. In the 2 years of planning, she was creating the logo, the name of the store that she would open up and the stores that she would partner up with to get the food from. She thought that there was to much food that was thrown away and not gone to someone who might've needed it. She thought that if there was less food waste there would be enough food for the future 2050 and that there would be enough food for the upcoming 10 Billion people. I have really enjoyed listening to what she had to say.

Hiwi The Kiwi Visit

This week Wednesday we had a visit from Hiwi the Kiwi. Hiwi the kiwi came and visited us to teach us about the fish safety and the rules of fishing. We learnt about the different reasons on why we have less fish. We looked at how we could change the plastic pollution, the right sized fish that we are allowed to take home, and much more. Hiwi the kiwi came to talk to us because the safety of fishing, this knowledge that we grow can be shared onto our parents, so then our parents would also know about the fishing safety. We sang a few songs that had hidden messages in them. My favourite song that we sang was called Kai Moana. Down below will be a link to a video of Hiwi The Kiwi at another school, but the video will start at 6:00.

Hiwi The Kiwi

At the end of the whole visit we were told that there was a competition between the whole school. The competition was were we got to write a story about the visit/ information about the safety of fishing. LS2 has been doing Explanations Writing, Persuasive writing and narrative writing. The challenge was that when each piece of writing was submitted to Our principal Mr. Johnston, he would choose which story out of all of the stories written by each pupil at Panmure Bridge School was the Best. The person that got the best story would win the Hiwi The Kiwi Fishing Rod. I have been very excited because I hope that I win. This weeks visit was very fun, I really enjoyed having Hiwi the Kiwi come to our school. A big thank you to Hiwi the Kiwi (Mr Minstrel) and dancer (Mrs Minstrel).
