It was a sunny Sunday morning and we were off to church. I got up and got ready for breakfast, then went for my morning run, and walked the dog. In the morning I always do chores before church, so I did and went to get ready for church. He locked the house and hopped in the car ready to go to church, but then dad forgot his tie and so we waited for a bit.
My friend’s mum, Joanna, was coming to church with us so we picked her up on the way, in the car we always play hand games. After church Joanna and I are going down to the beach and playing around, since I live on the beach. We always go down to the beach together and find sea shells down the seashore.
We were building a sand castle until Joanna ran to get some more seashells and screamed,
“Ahhh, a seal, it must be dead”,
I ran as quickly as possible and as I got there, there was a dead seal. So we ran up to my house and told my parents, they came to see what it was and called the Animal Patrol.
The Animal Patrol came as fast as they could and gave the seal water so it could breath. The seal was harmed by plastic and so Joanna and I took all the plastic off the seal and threw it in a bin. We were both scared and thought the seal was already dead, but soon the seals eyes opened and it started slithering around.
The seal was still alive and was choked by the plastic all around his neck, me and Joanna were so happy to see that we helped save a seal for the first time. Actually anyone or anything for the first time, the seal went back into the ocean and was swimming happily.

Have you ever thought about where our water comes from?
Keeping our waterways clean and healthy are important because people don’t really take is serious when we are actually drinking the water. There are many reasons to help our water stay clean, make sure you don’t throw rubbish in the water, use water wisely and don’t waste, keep the waterways clean so we can have fresh and healthy water.
Turning off water while brush your teeth can save up to 4 gallons each minute. Take shorter showers each minute less will save you 5 gallons. Use paper as less as you can, use email and electronic sources more.
Groundwater and water from marshlands is used to irrigate the fields . In countries with a dry and hot climate this is especially problematic. Once pumped out of the ground the water doesn’t come back. Government and societies need to change their attitudes towards water.
Two thirds of the countries rivers in New Zealand are now too polluted to swim in. Water gets polluted not just in our rivers and lakes but in our drinking water too. Sheep has been seeping through the polluted water and thousands of people got sick from it.
There you have it three reasons why you can keep our water clean, don’t throw rubbish in the water,don’t throw rubbish in the water, use water wisely and don’t waste, keep the waterways clean so we can have fresh and healthy water. This is why you should keep our water clean and make sure to be mindful of water we drink and use for our health.
