River Talks- By Konzay

Two weeks ago some of the Ruapotaka senior student kids went walking down near Tamaki College. The  presenters  were talking about the river  because people put dirty things in the river and our fish and eels won't survive the pollution.  We learned lots of information from the presenters and the audience  loved what they saw and heard.

River Talks- By Pupuke.

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 the  Omaru River. We were surrounded by other schools like St Helliers and Pt England. We were told the story of it 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 into our rivers and ocean. The bad water goes to the sewers. She showed us some pipes where the bad water can sometimes get mixed up with our fresh water.
