MY TOPIC REFLECTION

  • What have you learnt about this topic?
  • What did you like about this topic?
  • What is your role in practicing sustainability for a balanced future - at home, at school, in my community?

I have learnt what a Kai garden is. What the Maori people used long time ago.  I like this topic is that the Maori people use a tool called Ko and Timotimo. Those tool is for  a Kai garden.

To  be sustainable at home I have to recycle things like cans, plastic and carboard.

At school I can be sustainable at school by looking after our kai garden.

My role in the community to be sustainable is to pick up the rubbishes  so our environment can be clean and green.
