Help save the Maui's Dolphin

Our class have been studying about the Maui's Dolphin and how we could help save the Maui's Dolphin.

The most significant threat to the Maui's Dolphin is from set net fishing. When Maui's Dolphin swim into the nylon nets (without knowing) they will get trapped and wouldn't be able to swim backwards. Boats speeding throw large ponds where the Maui's Dolphin could hit and kill the Maui's Dolphin without knowing.

We need to take action for the Maui's Dolphin now!

1. We should ban set nets in West Coast harbour where the Maui's Dolphin are, known.

2. Not speeding near the Maui's Dolphin.

3. Taking all plastic rubbish to shore for safe disposal.

SO LETS HELP SAVE THE MAUI'S DOLPHIN.

"Ready to compete"

Our classroom have been working on the Maui's Dolphin.

Digital Classroom

I am in a digital class.
In our classroom we have 16 computers. Every day we share the computers with a buddy. We use computers for publishing work. On our class computers we have learnt all about using Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and lots more. So far we have learnt to use Microsoft Office, Apple Works, i-Works, i-Programmes and Google. On the internet we go on cool sites that are appropriate. The sites we have been on are school sites and educational sites and other cool sites. We have just found out that next year we will be attending flat screen computers. Other classroom only have around 1-4 computers.
