Greenhouse effect!

WALT:  Plan my ideas for writing with detail and return to this as a guide to support me as I write.

Have you ever felt like the environment around you was getting warmer?

Well, that would be the because of the Greenhouse effect. This effect takes place when heat is trapped in the atmosphere of the earth, like a greenhouse, this is also called global warming.

The greenhouse effect can affect island nations like Tonga, Fiji and Papua New Guinea which export products to make money because the heat can damage the crops by the water drying up, even though some fruit and plants can grow in the heat like bananas, they still need water. It can also cause small islands like Maldives, Kiribati, Seychelles and Torres Strait islands, to sink below the surface of the water and cities with ports like Auckland, parts of it would be likely to be flooded.

Greenhouse effect can also cause the temperature of the ocean to change which can cause some aquatic life to die due to not being able to adapt to the Ocean's new temperatures, then the predators of a certain fish would die because of starvation due to their prey being extinct, then the predator's predator will die as well and it goes on from there. Even if it is small like plankton, it will cause the predator to die of starvation.

Another aspect of damage greenhouse effect is causing is that it is melting Antarctica and the ice polar caps, which is responsible for the level of the sea rising. If all ice on Antarctica, Greenland, and glaciers around the world were to melt caused by this effect, the sea would rise 70 meters and cities that are on the coast would be covered in water, but in cities such as Denver would survive. If we were to keep adding carbon to the atmosphere, 5,000 years later the planet would have been ice-free and the temperature would be 80 degrees Fahrenheit instead of current 58.

In conclusion, try and use greener ways of traveling like walking and riding your bike instead of your car because it releases gases fumes in the air which adds to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

Assumption of Mary!

We are learning about the assumption of Mary

Article:

One glance at a daily newspaper or a television news show will tell you that some people do not value human life. But this is not news. During the Holocaust of World War II, millions of people were tortured and killed. This terrible tragedy led many people to wonder about human life. How valuable is a single human life? How valuable are the lives of the elderly, the unborn, the terminally ill? Are their lives worth as much as those of people who are healthy and active, working, and raising families?

God creates human life and gives it value. And Jesus gave his life on the cross to redeem each individual human person. By doing this, Jesus said, “Your life is worth my dying to save you.” Through his own Resurrection, Jesus showed us the glory of our resurrection and of our living in the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that the body and soul of a person, separated at death, will be joined together again in glory at the Last Judgment. The person will be whole for all eternity.

The feast of Mary’s Assumption is a preview of what our lives will be. At the end of her earthly life, Mary was assumed, or taken up, into heaven body and soul. She did not have to wait for the end of the world, as we do. God granted her this special privilege because of her sinlessness and her fullness of grace.

The Church has always believed in Mary’s assumption into heaven. But on November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII focused the attention of the whole world on the Assumption of Mary as a dogma and mystery of our faith. This mystery shows us that God wants every human person, body and soul, to be in glory forever, just as Mary is now. This dogma shows how important every single human life is. Pope Plus XII hoped that by thinking about Mary’s Assumption, people all over the world would develop a deeper respect for their own lives and their own bodies. He also hoped that people would grow in respect for the lives of others.

Assumption of Mary prayer

Father in heaven,

All creation rightly gives you praise,

for all life and all holiness come from you.

In the plan of wisdom,

she who bores the Christ in her womb,

he who is raised in body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness

and join your hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our lord.

Amen

The Holidays!

The holidays were here and I was thinking all about it, thinking what I'd do to spend the time wisely. I decided I'd play COD, (aka. Call Of Duty), or battlefield 1. It was a tough decision that had to end early because I just tripped and fell face first on the floor, at the same time, farted. It was embarrassing, it was so loud, it echoed throughout the house. Luckily no one heard it. I then ,straight away, got to my feet and spent the rest of the day playing games.

The next day was Saturday and I was getting ready to go on an outing with my Uncle Michael, Aunt Jena and her niece, Shaniqua. We were all going to 2 places. The first being a restaurant called Ollies, (which I highly recommend, since the food is superb), then the second being an arcade called Xtreme entertainment, (which I recommend as well).

We arrived at Ollie's and soon as we entered, we got blasted with a beautiful aroma of lovely food. AFter smelling the beautiful aroma,(makes my mouth water just thinking about it), we ordered our food straight away. We ordered hot chips, burgers,(which only Jena and I ordered), and drinks. Soon as our food arrived, we dug in straight away. 1 minute later all the food was gone and it was delicious. I wish I could taste it a second time, but that wasn't physically possible.

Then it was off to Xtremen arcade. I was excited for the arcade, so excited couldn't stop moving. We then arrived, I then jumped out of the car and walked with my uncle to the arcade. We entered the place and I was blinded by brightly coloured games and my ears were filled with music. Shaniqua and I then were let into the wild crowds of the arcade, when my uncle and her auntie gave us our cards with the money in it..

We played many games and gained many tickets, until that moment when we finished our money given to us. The total of tickets we collected was 918 tickets, Shaniqua 416 and me 502. We then transfered our tickets into the cards. When then were given the choice to choose from the counter what we wanted. There was nothing good to get so we just left our tickets to build up. We then left.

In conclusion of my holiday writing, the holidays were awesome and I trely wish the next holidays are even better.
