Water Care Day

On Wednesday, Sally from Water Care came to our class to teach us about water. She showed us some jars of water and poured other things into them and shook them together. These are the things that we don't want going down the stormwater drain.  L.J.

* These jars are in our classroom. They contain water and..... oil, food scraps, detergent, cooking oil and paint. Sally has challenged us to open the one with water and food scraps in one week!
Not many of us are looking forward to that! Watch our blog to see what happens.

On Wednesday Sally from Water Care came to Rm 14 to talk about how to save the fish from extinction and how water is important to us. Sally told us all the dirty water from houses is transferred to Water Care and the germs in the water are eaten by superbugs. But the water that comes from drains goes straight to the sea.  D.C.

On Wednesday 19 June Sally from Water Care came to Rm 14 to talk about how water is important to us and how to keep it clean and safe. First she talked about her work and showed us pictures. She showed us superbugs which are little hairy bugs which eat germs in the sewerage.   A.M. & H.K.


On Wednesday our class met a girl from Water Care. She taught us how important water is and she also taught us about pipes and drains. Her name was Sally and she knew a lot about sewage water - it is disgusting!   J.W.

On Wednesday the 19th June Sally from Water Care came and taught us about keeping our water clean when it goes down the stormwater drain. She said when you flush the toilet it goes through sewerage pipes to Water Care's special tanks and the superbug eats it. When it is tired it has a rest while Water Care transfers the other germs to a different tank. Then they send the water to us. We also did cool experiments that often worked.   G.S. & R.S.

Here we are doing our water experiments.
How many rivers can we make? It could only count as a river when it ran off the board. 

About 6 rivers for most of the groups. We learned all rivers run down hill or down to the sea.

Now for the fastest flowing river. Where do we need to put the stones this time?

Finally...will our rock structures hold 6 litres of water? 

Yes they did with just a tiny bit of overflow!
