Today for writing we did a letter to the editor.
There is a newspaper column in the Gisborne Herald where people can get their say.
We wrote about how the council isn't responding when we ask them to do their part and mow and spray the bushes at our rerenga awa so we can plant more native trees.
I found it tricky to start it.
I found it easy to give reasons why the should help us.
Here is my letter:
Dear Editor,
I am a student at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School. Our School is a Green Gold Enviro School so we plant New Zealand’s native trees in our Rerenga Awa, River Garden. Rerenga means garden and awa means river. We want to encourage native birds and insects, freshwater creatures, and create a clean, clear river. But the blackberry bushes are stopping us from planting more. We can’t have a clean river or freshwater creatures because we can’t plant any more trees, and can’t provide shade. It is the council’s job to spray and mow those bushes. We have been to see the council, emailed them, and used their app, but we haven’t got a response. Surely, the council can do their part of looking after the environment.
Yours sincerely,
Catalina, Room 1 st Mary's
