This week we set out up Omapere Road to do some water quality testing of the Mangamutu Stream. We had fun using all of the equipment - the thermometer, bathyscope, periscope, gravelometer, classification sheet, measuring tapes and stopwatches. We had to carefully record the data we collected.

Monique was our origami expert and made a fabulous black dragon (one of our NZ Read Aloud tasks this week):
Hi my name is Rongomatane.
ReplyDeleteI like your origami it looks like a dragon its dark and mysterious.
That reminded me of the movie how to train your dragon.
Next you can use glow in the dark stickers.
