Water Quality with Mrs Elmore

Water Quality with Mrs Elmore

The Year 3's are learning about Change and we are especially looking at how water quality changes.  We went down to our school gully (in our school grounds) to learn about how the quality of our water effects the life living in it.  Mrs Elmore had some fantastic activities for us to explore what lives in our stream.
We sequenced the life cycle of the damselfly.
We had to sort the insects.
We learned about how eels travel all the way to Tonga to lay their eggs, then die.  Then the babies swim all the way home and return to the same stream their parents lived in. AMAZING!
We found Tonga on the globe.


We learned about kokopu.



What insects can we see living in our stream water?
Our school gully.
