Taking a Stand!

After reading about water pollution this week, room 8 considered some of the ways that we can prevent it. We know that we shouldn't put chemicals down the drain and that pesticides and cow manure is washed from the rain into the river. However, we realised the easiest way that we can make a difference is to pick up rubbish so that it does not get into our drains.

Some of our students made some designs to draw around our drains and we went out with chalk to see how they would work. After some experimenting, we may paint these designs on the concrete.

We hope that these messages will stop our students from dropping their litter and that it will encourage them to pick up any rubbish that they see.

  1. Hi there, my name is Miss Green and I am a teacher in Room 21 at Owairaka School. I really like your post about how to look after our water. It made me think of how we look after our drains at Owairaka School. We have painted sea animals around the drains to remind us that only rain goes down the drain. Have you thought about making your designs more permanent by painting them? If you would like to see our learning, please visit <a href="http://odsgreen.blogspot.co.nz/>My Blog</a>
