This morning room seven went out to do something really fun that included rubbish. The best part is we’re helping our school, our area and our community. If you want to find out more read on.
In the beginning we all went out onto the reserve, as a small tight bunch. As we were walking I could feel the freezing cold breeze, flowing towards me. After quite a walk we finally made it to the reserve, and Mr Goodwin ( Mr G ) told us to get into five groups of five. After awhile of sorting kids into their groups, Mr G finally told us what we were about to do. He held up rubbish bags and said “you will be having a competition to see who can pick up the most rubbish out of every team, also the winners prize is ten minutes of something cool”. We were all so excited because we knew what the cool prize was.
Finally it was competition time. We had a lot of boundaries that we had to stay inside of, but that didn’t hold us back from trying to find every single piece of rubbish that we saw. Mr G blew his whistle and everyone raced to this one spot where there was so much rubbish. After that there were many more rounds, than it came to the last round in our own school on the field. We all saw lot’s of yucky rubbish around us, but we knew it was for a good cause. Mr G said “ On your marks, Get set, Go!!!” and we all dashed to the furthest corner, raced to where we could see the most rubbish and we even looked in the class bushes.
We all had to come in and find out who the winners were. I had no hope that my team was going to be the winners, after I saw Toby’s team’s rubbish bag. It was filled up to half way, but if they had a jandle in their bag they would’ve been disqualified from the competition. Than we all lined up in our teams sitting down, and Haare checked the bags. She said she wasn’t quite sure at first because all the bags were so full, so she went for the last bag check. Then she said the winning team is Toby’s team.
Overall even though my friends and I didn’t win I still was proud of all of us because we picked up so much rubbish. We also did it for a great cause to help our school, and our community. I would really like to do this again because it would help our area get cleaner and cleaner.
Task description: In this task room 7 had to write about our experience with picking up rubbish. We went around our area to pick up rubbish and the winning team got a prize.
