D.A.R.E

This year Room 23 is in the process of learning about the D.A.R.E education program. Our class is learning about this program so we can make better choices through out our lives.

D.A.R.E stands for
Decision making
Assertiveness
Responsibility
Esteem.

This is it's old meaning
Drug
Abuse
Resistance
Education.

During this learning we had constable Andy come to our class on Wednesday the 18th of February, to talk to the class about the D.A.R.E education program.

In our class room we have our own D.A.R.E officer, her name is Constable Shree. Constable Shree has already discussed the choice box and our dare booklets. The choice box is a box where anyone in our class can put a question about anything involving dare or the police force. Our dare booklets are booklets where we do activities involving drug education. So far we have made a page about ourselves and how a Passive, Aggressive and a Assertive person acts.

D.A.R.E is a very fun and educational program we are all having fun learning it and we will be sad when we have to finish.

Graphic organiser

For our D.A.R.E project we had to make up a poster show what things we have choices about so this is Tammy's and mine.

Narrative

This is my narrative. We wrote these stories for our D.A.R.E projects, All off our stories are about making bad choices and the consequences for our actions.

Maui's Dolphin Email

Dear Green Peace,

Our class has been studying the Maui’s Dolphins and we have found that they are critically endangoured and I would like to find out what else I can do to help stop them from becoming extinct. I live in proximity to Sunset beach, Port Waikato (where the Maui’s Dolphin live). I already have some suggestions to help, we should put up signs around Sunset beach to stop fishermen setting there nylon nets because Maui’s Dolphins get attracted to them and get stuck, they can swim backwards to get out of them.

250 dolphins ( not just Maui’s Dolphins) die a year because of this fishing. And there are only aproxamitly 111 Maui’s Dolphins left. Maui’s Dolphins only have 2 babies in their lifetime. So the population will only increase slightly In New Zealand there are more Kiwis and Turatara than Maui’s Dolphins. The population may improve but we have to change how we fish. Please help me make a difference. These animals need to protected. We also need to put signs up to stop the littering of plastic bags in location to the Maui’s Dolphins habitats. When they get in our oceans the dolphins and other wildlife could eat the plastic bags and the chemicals in the bag will make them sick.

At our school we are going to create a mural to educating the public about Maui’s Dolphins and how we need to protect them, so that’s a start. Victoria, from WWF came and discussed how we can make a difference. She told us that adopting a dolphin is one of the main ways to help, which our class is going to do next year. I would really appreciate it if you would write back.

Maui's Dolphins

In class for learning pathways we have been learning about the Maui's dolphins, we even had a representative from W.W.F come into our classroom to talk to us about them. The Maui's Dolphins are a sub-spices of the Hector's Dolphins. Maui's Dolphins use echolocation to find their food. Maui's only have two babies in their lifetime and there are only 111 left. Two hundred fifty dolphins die a year because of nylon fishing nets. I believe should put a stop this type of fishing. In New Zealand there are more Kiwis and Turataras than Maui's Dolphins.
