Well it seems as thought his term as tally flown, we have been absolutely flat out running around like headless chickens, but let me say what an adventure. Something that I am so sure our whole class has learnt an awful lot about. We have pretty much been on a roller coaster ride through pain, laughter and tears there has been times that I know we all just wanted to throw in the towel leave the river how it is, and make it someone else’s problem. No we stuck in there and we kept at it. I think we all can take the time now and sit back and reflect on what we have done it has been a major to take on and I know we have done what we set out to do we have created awareness no longer is it a myth that the river is polluted but merely a fact and now the whole community knows. So as the holiday’s loom I know that we can sit back pat ourselves on the back and let nature take its course because we have done what we always said we would.

Movie Making

Today was the second to last day of our leadership pollution of the Hautapu river class. We have less than one week of school to the term break and our options are only on once a week. We have been extremely busy making a movie to create awareness. We have traveled around the town have dug deep and a lot of us I am sure have found hidden talents that have been dusted with cobwebs (acting I mean)

It has been quite an adventure with all of us playing vital parts in the success of the movie and ensuring that we get the message across. We are planning to post our movie on utube sooo watch this space.

This afternoon we are hoping to edit our work and show it in the celebration assembly of the whole school this is just another way we hope we can get the word out because I feel as though younger students or people are just as important as the elders because as the saying goes we are the future.

Well happy blogging.

Well, another day has gone and it seems as though there is soo much to do in soo little time. Our little class seems to be running round headless in last bid to publish newspaper articles, prepare blogs and update wikis. At the moment we are getting ready for end of term reports and are hping that everything we set out to do and asked to do is now completed. Well have to go happy blogging see you next week

Visiting

Today we visited a variety of businesses, and all of which had their own ways of saving the river and recycling. First of all we visited Byfords redimix (a concret distriduters) We discovered that their ways of recycling were extremly sufficent and their seemed absoloutly nearly no waste all of their surplus seemed to in some way be used again.
Next we visited Hutapu Pine and the information that we were given seemed to some extent irrelivant. They at a cost denied pollution or contribution to the ongoing concern of the Hautapu river. And we hpoe to find out more.
We also visited a bush reserve called the Paengaroa and discovered true beauty magnificent native trees towared the river creating true beauty.
