Taylor River Poem

What a fantastic piece of writing from Eve and Lauren.  Their poem will be displayed (etched in stone) along the banks of the river.

Once I was only a trickle
From the Wither Hills I came
Gathering flow and strength
Journeying towards the sea
A home to many creatures
You arrived, realised my potential
Water wheels for energy
Flax mills for rope, a highway for boats
Occasionally rebelling, surging free
You tethered me; stop banks, dam
Preventing flooding over Te Waiharakeke
You enhanced my banks, dredged me of my weeds
Yet I still remain the same,
Habitat for many creatures,
Now you walk beside me,
I take pride in myself
Care for me and I will never die

Freshwater fish slideshows and brochures from Term 2

Lauren and Deanna Jonah and Levi Spencer and Cooper Jennifer, Eve and Sophia Xenobia and Tyler We learned so much about freshwater fish last term: we also discovered that New Zealanders know very little about the fish that live in our streams, creeks, rivers and lakes! 
For example, did you know that whitebait grow into 5 different native fish?!
(all slideshows will be up by the end of the week)
