Savanna;s Learning Journey

We went to the Heathcote river because we are learning about water. We learnt to check if the water was clean or not. We got water bugs into certain groups. If there were lots of water bugs it was clean. If there were not very many water bugs the water was not clean.  do you know rubbish gets into Rivers. There was 5 teams. I was in team 3.  There was five activities. 3 instructors from the eel team and the other where rne by Mr G Mrs W and Mrs O and parent helpers. We walked from school and back. It  was fun but we had to get back to school.  At school we rolled out a piece of paper and layed on the ground and wrote stuff down about what we learnt.

We chatted to some people so that they could answer some questions about water. Water can be drawn from the rakaia river for irrigation. They only draw enough so the river can flow. Water is never going to end if if we don't use too much so the water cycle can continue. If we do not listen to this warning it could be dangerous because you're have no water. We found out  that lots of people are going green that means not using my rubbish it doesn't go in the River and now our water can go cleaner but we need all New Zealand to help go green and help your  country to be a happy place for animals to live in the sea and on land.  It would be nice if you can go everywhere in NZ and not see rubbish. ##
