Hands on investigation of the Mataura River

 

Yesterday, Room 7 headed down to the Mataura River to carry out a variety of investigations with the help of Pat and Mark from Environment Southland.

 

Despite the brisk temperatures the class thoroughly enjoyed the outing and the opportunity to carry out meaningful investigations.

 

A huge thank you to those amazing mums who made themselves available to help out. You are amazing.

The Enviroscape Visits Gore Main

Recently, as part of our Mataura River Inquiry Unit, Pat from Environment Southland came to explain how we have an impact on the health of our streams and rivers.

Several household substances were used to simulate the ways in which we pollute our environment. The class saw first hand how rain washes the pollution away - into our rivers, streams and seas.
