The Rubbish Truck Monster

Roars from a rubbish truck monster as it munches up the rubbish,
Unruly like a lioness,
Black, old paint buckets, old and scrappy,
Busted, now getting crushed,
It is sucking and chewing on it,
Sacks and skirts getting ripped!
Horrible big teeth.

Rotten Food Scraps
Used, disposable packaging,
Biodegradable packaging,
Breaking down banana peels,
I don't like the smell,
Stinky, smelly rubbish,
Hazardous Waste

by Taylor


Recycling is good for the environment
Use things again
Bring your stuff to a recycling centre
Be wise with your rubbish
I wish everybody would recycle
STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES
Help recycle rubbish

Last Week of Term Two

Wow, what a busy term this has been.  We have had a fantastic series of lessons on our freshwater ecology with Zoe and Alan from the Whitebait Connection.

Checkout the stars measuring water clarity on the Whitebait Connections facebook page.

We finished the term with some learning about lighthouses and added a trip to Baring Head to see the whitebait spawning habitat in the Wainuiomata River and then trekked to the lighthouse.

The uphill section of the track was a challenge but the view from the top was unbelievable.

All in all a great term with many happy memories and oh so much learning.
