Powell's Road Waterway Project
Check it out - Fonterra and the farmers want to work together!
After:
We would need five teams of data collectors who would work as a team to develop a proposal and presentation for the Council. They would then lead the rest of the class in our action during Term 4. You would need to be good team workers and be able to lead the rest of the class. You would need to prepare the presentation and so would focus on this during writing and inquiry for the remainder of the term.

Our Questions and thinkings......
Trial - will it work so other areas can use it.
Purpose - fix the habitat so our creatures will flourish - mahinga kai.
It was dug in the 1800 to drain the swamps but is now an important habitat.
Problem:
no shade, weeds grow and sediment blocks the drain.
Contamination from the farm into the waterway and lake.
Our plan...... proposal for DOC
What are the causes and consequences in our area?
What action can we take and what will be the consequences?
Set up a scale model.... decide on the scale.
Each group plan the things that need to be done for them... on the small copy of the river.
Share with the team & overlay on our large copy.

Story starter!
Have you ever wondered what stars are for? Have you ever wondered why the wind blows?
It’s all for them.
When the world sleeps, they awaken. When we close our eyes, they open theirs. All around us, ever present yet unseen, they exist. Their home is the stars. Earth is their playground. This is their story…
Can you continue the story about these mysterious visitors?

The brothers both put their fingers on the part of the world they had chosen, and waited for the magic to happen.
“I wonder if it will be as fun as our last trip,” mused Jeremy, as the globe began to glow…
