healthy harbours porirua #2

Today (1/11/16) we went down to bothamley park because we were looking at kenepuru stream which is our nearest stream in Ascot park.

we were split up in  two groups I was in group one. My group first went to look at the streams health it was really fun. the clarity of the water was different to most people but the main numbers people got were around 30.the conductivity was 440.the water was really slow it took 6 minutes for the ping pong ball to go down 10 meters. The water was overall was bad so that makes me think that we should really need to look after the water.

                                                      

                           HEALTHY HARBOURS PORIRUA

This term our syndicate kahikatea focus is healthy harbours porirua. We had our first session with a lady Liz yesterday(tuesday 18). Healthy harbours is a program that teaches kids all about the local harbour; te awarua o porirua. We were focusing on catchments and learnt the catchment solute. We also learnt a game called tuna run. Later on in the program were going to go snorkeling which will be exciting. I can’t wait for our next session!!!!!
