WALHT: Create a brochure

The message of my brochure is to tell people to stop littering. I think that we need a clean creek because the dragonflies and eels deserve a better place to live.

Omaru Creek metaphor poem

Rebecca is the old wooden bridge that helps people get across to the other side.

Rebecca is a calm and lazy old eel sleeping inside the water.

Rebecca is the strong trees trying to prevent the soil from getting washed away.

WALT: Draw a Family Tree.

We are studying the Omaru Creek so we drew a family tree for the Tamaki River. Omaru Creek is part of the branch of the Tamaki River.

Omaru Creek - Te Taiao o Tāmaki

At Omaru Creek there were problems when the water was not going through the drain and the sewage water was overflowing into the Creek. The maintenance crew went down to Omaru Creek and helped clean it up. They found that the water was not going down the drain because there were wet wipes in the pipe and that does not break up in water, It only makes large clumps. They also found cans, kids toys, beer bottles and rotting mattresses. They ran tests on the water for over five days.

Glen Innes school has already chosen what part to clean and we have the part closest to Apirana Avenue. This is the condition we found at Omaru Creek a aerosol can, metal bucket, acqua weeds growing into the garden, a lolly wrapper, paper and broken branches. After we finish cleaning the Omaru Creek I bet that it will look spotless with fresh water.
