Mangapapa Creek


Some of our learners chose to investigate the creek as their Breakout this week. We learned that there is not a lot of life down there at the moment. We used some scientific equipment to help us catch and identify what we had found. Some of us created sketches of our findings, others created more wonderings. We have shared our findings with some other teachers around the school. 


There wasn't a lot of room to move down there. It was very overgrown, however we did manage to find some living , and not so living things for us to study a bit closer.

  1. KIA Ora Mrs Mcvey I think it is great that you take your kids out off the classroom to explore the nature and wild life.
    Was it a catch and release because if it was it would be #even better

    1. Yes it certainly was catch and release! Our school is looking to clear down by the stream to give us easier access. We felt like we were part of an Indiana Jones movie making our way down to the creek for this activity.
