Room 7

Welcome to the Room 7 webpage.
This term we are learning all about environment.  In our class we have been looking at what goes down the drain and where it ends up!  We started by making our very own pollution. Yuck! The students have enjoyed watching this creation develop. From there we have looked at what has happened to the Waitamata Harbour in the past and what is happening now.  The students have found all about 'The Great Pacific Garbage Dump' and seen how some of Auckland's rubbish ends up on Great Barrier Island's beaches.  The students have all made a pledge about how they are going to work towards improving the state of our harbour and have made a design to promote the message that what goes down the drain ends up in the sea.  At the end of our unit all of the designs will be looked at, and a winner will be choosen.  That design will then be painted next to a drain in the school.
