Last week our students all got to enjoy a day of learning outside the classroom with a field trip to visit the local Papanui catchment and to learn all about the work around this local area. This trip fitted in perfectly with our topic studies around The Power of Water - Wai. Especially seeing an area that was affected after the banks burst during Cyclone Gabriel.
During our trip around our local area, we got to test three different waterways, visited an old Pa site and learn about all the work going into caring and supporting our environment.
Huge thank you to all the people involved in making this happen. 👏🤩
