Manuherikia River Monitoring Trip

A reminder that on Monday morning we are joining Room 6 at the river to find out what they have been doing this term and to answer our questions about our river.
Please wear school sports uniform with either a school jersey or sweatshirt, sturdy shoes and/or gumboots to wear at the river. No bare feet.
Thank you to Mrs Cuthbertson and Mrs Lanham who will accompany us. Room 6 have an exciting morning planned for us.  We will start our learning adventure in Room 6 and will be working in small groups with a Room 6 leader.
It will be very important for each of us to self manage our clothing and actions, so that we can experience a fantastic learning opportunity.
The river is such a wonderful environment for us to undertake hands on learning, where people can go back with  families and continue to 'monitor' what is happening.  We all love our river, especially for swimming and jumping off rocks in summer and also for fishing and skipping stones.  We are the people who need to look out for the health of this precious resource.
This is connected to our Inquiry "Belonging", where we are branching out from looking at belonging to our school, groups and families, to belonging to the community, and the rights and responsibilities that we have in belonging to the local community.
