Letter To The Editor

Today for writing we wrote a letter to the Gisborne Herald. We wrote about why the blackberrys should be sprayed and taken away and about the water being clear for freshwater creatures. 

I enjoyed writing to the editor because I never have before.

My digital learning object is to make more letters to editors.

Here is my letter

Dear Editor, 

At Saint Mary’s School we are a Green Gold Enviro School. We have a river near the school (Taruheru River) where we plant our native trees and plants. But the problem is that we can’t plant more because of the blackberry bushes near the river and we want to get rid of them. We have tried contacting the Council so they could get rid of them but they wouldn't respond. We also want to get the water clear so it is healthy for freshwater creatures to live in. We want to plant more trees so the awa can get shade and also we want to let other insects and freshwater creatures like freshwater crayfish. We also want native birds to go down to the river and sit on a branch in the shade. I firmly believe that the blackberry should be removed by the council so we can keep planting more native trees and plants for our birds, insects and freshwater creatures to live in.
