Week seven!

Briefing.

What a superb week we have had - it began with our Junior Syndicate trip to Tahunanui beach to look at the creatures in the rock pools and to use our skills to respect the environment. The weather was kin d and the tide was out so everyone had a great morning exploring, observing and identifying many varied specie, always making sure to replace rocks where we found them and not to remove any creatures from heir own habitats for very long at all. Thanks to all the parents who made the trip possible and to Miss Affleck for her organisation and super laminated charts.

Off to the beach.
