Drains to harbour inquiry questions.

What questions has our learning on stormwater and wastewater generated in your mind?

Drains to harbour comes to school

Today we were very lucky to have Harriet come in and help us learn more about drains and how pollution can affect fresh water and marine life. In these photos we are putting different things that may harm the environment such as chemicals, soil, rubbish found on the beach and shells into a bowl with water. We decided that everyone is responsible for pollution and not just one group of people.

                                     

Today we were trying to answer some maths problems about  healthy streams and un healthy streams using multiplication and diagrams.  

 Our topic this term is what wastewater and stormwater are and the  differences between the two.Here we are looking for down pipes and drains then marking them on a map.

In maths we are learning to use part of a fraction to work out the size of the whole.e.g one quarter of ? = 12.

Hi my name is Angelina and I'm this weeks blog master. I enjoy reading, learning new topics and  maths equations that involve fractions. My favourite things to do in pod 9 are art, writing, flying kites, drama and practicing plays.When I'm not at school I would probably be
with my family or doing something around the house.

Kia ora, Pod 9 Whanau. We have just returned from a Mt Ruapehu family holiday. I really enjoyed 'hanging out' in Ohakune and watching Blaze learn to ski.  l'm looking forward to seeing you all again next term.
