Tread lightly caravan

On Monday, we had went out of class and went to the Kowhai Room. 

The Tread lightly Caravan had arrived! We sat on the mat and talked about water and what we need to do to help the ocean.  To make sure we listened, we had to turn to a buddy and say 10 things we used water with today or this week.

The,  we got split into 3 groups . Next, we went to rotations. 

The first rotation I did was.... doing things inside. The first thing I did was look at wetlands picture. I discovered some new creatures and that we should protect their habitats. Next we coloured a colouring page of a pukeko. I coloured mine the real colours. I was very surprised cause next we used an app on a phone/iPad. We zoomed our picture out...... my colouring went 3D! Right next to us was some virtual reality headsets. We watched a video of how we should treat them. I put them on just like the video said. There was videos in those goggles. The first one was about some places in New Zealand that lot's of litter in it.

I think the virtual goggles are one of the coolest gadgets this century, (21st).

The next thing we did.... Check out the tread lightly caravan

After that, we went outside. We went to this huge van. It had one teacher, plus one of the school assistant teachers.  The teacher taught us what to put in what. For example, oil has to go in the bin, also can be recycled.  The teacher also taught where the things go to. Like the rubbish goes in the rubbish centre. It is being environmental-friendly if you put things where they should be. 

The very last thing we did.... was look at our school drains

Very last was looking at our school drains. We went to the juniors, investigating. There were some rubbish in them. We talked about what we can do to                                                                                                                     (This is not me)

make our drains better. We looked at the senior drains after. I found that the drains near the field were actually cleaner. Did you know that if dirty water goes into the field, the grass purifies the water?Same with the wetlands.
