Kaupapa (Inquiry) Week 3

Kia ora anō whānau!!

Here are some photos of what we learnt in kaupapa (inquiry) this week.

The students of room 5 and our class have been working together to identify the problems of an overland flowpark we have near our kura.

Miss Amanda and the students of room 5 came to show us how the overland flowpark works.

Tirohia ki ngā pikitia :)


This is Miss Amanda. She is explaining how the water goes through the drain.

Here Miss Amanda and her helper are showing us where the water goes once it hits the drain.

Miss Amanda is about to show us what happens when there's too much water going through the drain.

We can see the water coming out of the drain and straight into the sea.



This picture shows us what happens when the drain is blocked.

The water overflows and fills up the piece of land that its on.


WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!



Tena rawa atu koutou ngā tamariki o rūma 5 mo te whakaaturanga. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou. :)

Now we know why the overland flowpark floods especially in winter!!
