Why Do Humans Need Nature?

Human and Nature's Relationship:
Human's are abusing nature, we are taking nature for granted. We're not making wise choice taking care of nature.
If we continue not caring for the earth, it's possible that we wouldn't be able to be living 50 years from now due to different possible accidents.
Like:
All the ice on Antarctica melted and sink everything on earth.
Not having food because we didn't take care of our trees, flowers, and soil.
Not having medicines because all of our trees are gone.
If the trees are gone we also run out of air.


Things I wrote down while watching the video:
Nature

400 and half billion years

people need nature.
future depends on our action.
if nature thrive we thrive
if nature falter we or worse
She made almost everything on this planet
regard or disregard nature it would still be ready to be evolved.
Water most of the earth
every living thing needs water
humans take more than they share
take advantage
if nature kept getting mistreated humans won't survive.
it covers the earth once can cover the whole earth again
ice keep the world cool
humans keep warming the planets
raise sea level
Rainforest
plants medicine
trees make air
Flower
Feed people, every fruit and vegetable flower starts.
Soil
in the hills valleys, mountains
Treat soil like dirt
full of orgasm to grow plants

Why Is Empathy Important?

Empathy definition according to Collins Dictionary:
The ability to understand someone else's feelings as if they are our own.

What I learnt about empathy.

• Empathy plays a big role at school,less people would feel left out.
• Empathy requires time and practice.
• Empathy could help people feel better about themselves.

What's going on my head while watching the video:

Sometimes you cant tell but most of the time you can't, people put on a mask.

If we find out what people are going through we would treat them better but it's better to always be nice to everyone because you never know what their going through. 

Why I think empathy is important:

Empathy is Important because, if everyone show empathy their wouldn't be war or fights because everyone understand each others feelings. 

How to be better at empathy:

• Observe people around you and instead of labeling them try to see what they're feeling.
• Listen to what they're saying.
• Open up so people will understand what you're feeling.

Dear Sarah
I would like to thank you for letting us have an amazing experience at Orana Park. I had lots of fun encountering different animals that I haven't even heard of and learning new facts about it. Something I learnt was the ''HIPPO'' which stands for: H- Habbitat lost I- Introduced species P- Pollution P- Population overgrowth  O- Over use. My favourite part was enetering through the The Great Apes, I love seeing the home of the monkeys and looking at  their hand and footprint.



What we did today.
When the bell rung we all went inside our classroom that's when our teachers gave us our designated numbers for our groups, we had a chance of leaving our school equipment in the classroom so we wont get tired strolling around the zoo carrying our heavy bags. Then we all gathered up outside of school patiently waiting for the bus while Ms. Gibson lectures us about the rules and expectation. Finaly the bus arrives, we were divided by our form class, it took about 15 minutes to get there from our school.

After arriving at our destination, we were again split up by our number groups. 2 groups split apart and entered to different gates. This where the adventure begins, we were taken to the zoo school where we entered a circus like room, we had a staff from orana park talk to us for 5 minutes. We had a short morning tea then we went straight to the kiwi area. The kiwi area was dark, Ican hardly see a thing, but I managed to spot a kiwi in the corner. We proceeded looking at different animals in the zoo and learning new facts about them.

I had lot's of fun going on this trip,learning that there's lots of endangered animals, and knowing we should take care of them. We need animals in this world and there's already a lot that's extinc, we should take care of the endangered ones.
