Keep Our Beaches Clean!

ACTION LEARNING CYCLE PART ONE: Identify the Current Situation

We are surrounded by so many beautiful beaches in East Auckland. 

We could name the top 5 local to our school: 

* Eastern Beach
* Bucklands Beach
* Howick Beach
* Cockle Bay
* Mellons Bay

During term 1 we learnt all about: 

> HOW we use these beaches 
> WHAT special treasures are there (both living and non living  - example birds and pretty shells)
> WHAT trash is polluted our beaches 

Beautifully illustrated by Ella - how Room 4 use the beach


Year 1 students chose 4 items from the table to draw

stunning feathers found at local beaches!


Saddening to learn about the amount of trash on the beaches


We have now started to think about HOW we can stop rubbish ending up on our beaches. 

With Mr G we have been designing drain traps for our SIXTY stormwater drains. 

The year 4 / 5 are also going on a school trip next week to see and learn more about some special sea animals that call NZ beaches home.
