Kaitiaki: watching over everything

We are learning about Te Taiao o Tāmaki and we were shocked by the sewage and pollution we saw in the Omaru Creek.  As we are all guardians, we decided that we could keep a watch over everything from Room 9: Kaitīakitanga i nga wā kātoa.

Omaru Creek - by Sonnia

First of all we had walked with a buddy to the Omaru creek in our literacy line.

It was so smelly  that I had to block my nose with my t-shirt and I couldn't breath properly. We had to kneel down and have a look at the sewage water it looked very disgusting and had a dark blue black color. Later on we had got up and had a little tiny walk. We had got in our line in our two buddies and walked back. My buddy was Zamera.

Kaitīakitanga i nga wā kātoa

We are learning about the environment in the Tāmaki area and how we can be responsible guardians of everything around us. We walked over to the Omaru Creek in Point England Reserve to check out for ourselves the pollution caused by a sewage leak into the water.
