School Journal Level 2 November 2018
Inside this School Journal are two articles (The Plastic-free Challenge; Tafoe O!), two stories (A Waste of Space; Baskets of Fire), one poem (Plastic Planet).

“Baskets of Fire” is a pakiwaitara – a traditional Māori story that explains natural phenomena or why something is the way it is.

"Plastic raincoats, plastic rain. Plastic in our hearts and brains. Long after we’ve come and gone, our plastic footprints will live on."
