On thursday in week 7 of term one 5 people from room 41 and 42 went to Pongaroa and we learnt about water and how we could help to keep it clean. It was around about a 2 hour drive from here to Pongaroa and we took a bus. We also picked up some people from other schools. Once we did that we headed to our destination. On the bus ride we sang, played games and had some fun.
Once we got there we got introduced to the people that were running the place. We also had a chance to go into the long drop which smelt really bad. Once we got introduced we headed off to our first activity
For our first activity we put balls that you find in a ball pit into the river and we had to catch them we wrote different things that could pollute the rivers and caught them.
For our second activity we found bugs and saw if the water was good or not. The water turned out to be mot likely good.
For our third activity we had to plant some plants and trees to make sure the river got shade and birds in the forest got trees and stuff.
For our fourth activity we did the big drain game it was really cool.
