ELP reflection

THE YEAR 8 ELP                      


You zhen came over to my house to do the ELP at first we didn’t do much but after that we got started on our plane for the eco friendly resort. In the resort we had the little houses each house ran on solar powered panels. Each house took a half an hour to build including the restaurant. in our eco friendly resort we had a garbage area for wast food and all then from the garbage area it went to the compost are to be maid in to compost from there it went to the green house to grow the food and then it goes to the restaurant. We had a natural river pool for the guests to swim in and on one end of the river there is a water purification plant to clean the water for tap water and toilet water. Then it goes to the other side of the river to get the water cleaned. from there it cleans the water that the humans have used and sends it back into the river. In our resort we have also got a fish farm they breed the fish and when it gets to a good size the fish will be taken to the restaurant to be eaten.
