River Talks

On the 15th of March half of Room 12 went to a very special and exciting event. We had to walk all the way to River Omaru. When we had arrived we had to stand in front a small short fence and we were surrounded by other schools like St Heliers and Pt England.

Not long after, the speaker  had hoped out of the water and  told us the story about the river and why we can't go in the water.

The water was too dirty and full of germs and unsafe to swim or fish or boat in there.

Then we moved to a different place and a woman talked about how we can keep the river clean and what goes in the water from our homes. The extra water from our home go to rivers, ocean and etc, and the bad water goes to the sewers.


But some pipes where the bad water goes in were connected to pipes that led to the ocean and rivers. This then slowly turned bad and the pollution will start.
