This week the Great Drain Game Caravan came to visit our school. This was an opportunity for us to learn more about water, waste water, wetlands and our school environment. The Great Drain Game caravan has an awesome interactive model. As a class, we got to see where our water flows to when we put different waste in different places.

One important message was that anything that gets into the drain will end up at the sea, without any treatment. That is why it is important to remember the phrase "Only rain goes down the drain". We did a survey of our school to find the different drains that we have on site and added these to a map.

Any dirty water that goes into the sink will travel to the 'Waste water treatment plant'. Here, the dirty water that has gone down the sink or toilet gets cleaned before it is released again. Wetlands also do a super job slowing down water to stop flooding and naturally cleaning water.

Most of Kaiwhare decided that putting on the special headsets and exploring Virtual Reality environments was their favourite activity. Overall, it was a great session of learning. We finished by making a pledge which will help to conserve water. Check back as we share these in a DLO next week.

A big thank you to our parent and adult helpers on the day. If you would like to find out more, please leave us a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment.
Kia ora Kaiwhare
ReplyDeleteThis is Brittany from the senior school. It looked like you had lots of fun. What type of things did you learn while you were at the Drain game caravan? Maybe next time you could tell us more about what you did while you were at the Drain game caravan.
Hi Kaiwhare, it is Nihkil from Waitemata. Thank you for sharing your learning. In our class we went to do the Drain Game too my favorite part about it was the virtual reality studio. I like how you have talked about what happens when you go to do the drain game. One thing you could improve on is add something about the other activities.
