On Thursday, Rosemary and I were chosen to go to the Parish hall where we met several ladies passionate about the environment. Their names were Christine Morrison, Julie Holt (from the 'Enviroschools Foundation'), Gillian Cutforth and Mrs Douglas. The enviro school teachers talked about our environmental learning and how it flows like a stream starting at the top and then traveling down to the ocean. We were put into small groups and discussed what words meant in the bronze and silver enviro awards. We also drew a river and put little tags on where we thought it would be in our journey of leaning about our environment. Then we made an actual river with cloth and put different material for the froth. During the morning, we really thought hard about how we can help save the earth at our school and in our community. We had an enjoyable time and learnt plenty!

Did you two really write that article? Very well written, and interesting too. We have so many streams and rivers in Whangarei, it's great you are learning how important they are. Have you been to Whangarei Falls after a heavy downfall? It's great to see the power of the water, and you get wet if you are standing at the bottom!
