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.
