Te tuna o taone trip

On Thursday the seventh of March the Batten team and the Hillary hub went down to the Heath cote river The two groups were split to into five, there were five rotations one was learning about the habitat and generally just about the long fin eel, another was learning about the bugs in the water and how some can live both clean and dirty, some dirty, some can live in only out things we could find in the are no paint just natural things; sticks, grass, water dirt. we also did a storm-water  scavenger hunt trying to find a vessel of zinc,sediment, paint etc. and we did a thing with a sheet of paper drawing how the river flows.


it was very interesting learning about about the bugs in the water, because for me personally I never knew there were bugs in our waterways let alone know that they could only live in clean water.
