Omaru Creek and the Tamaki River

1. Where does Mr Shawn empty the pool into?   

Storm drain

2. If it goes into the stormwater drain, where does it enter the Omaru Creek?

It goes to creeks,streams and rivers so yes.

3. Draw a river tree for Tamaki River Family Tree

Tamaki River Family Tree

Walt:Draw a Family tree

We drew a tree of the tamaki river because the Omaru Creek is a branch of the Tamaki River.We found out that the Tamaki River started in Middlemore and ends in Waitemata Harbour.We are studying on the Omaru Creek so know we know more about the creek and where it connects too.

Cabbage trees and Bulrushs

On Thursday we did some art.We did this because around the Omaru Creek there was Cabbage trees and Bulrush plants.This was based on the Omaru Creek because that is our topic study.Most of the class did the Cabbage tree because it is easy but it wasn't. We tried to do a sunset but it was purple.This was fun but I  did have alot of Mistakes.

Dragonfly Art

Today we were working on Dragonfly art.We did this because when the Omaru Creek attracts dragonflies it is a healthy creek.This is 3D work so we worked with wire.We had some different ways of doing this.

Room 8 would be a Black jeep with pearly white wheels.

Statistical Investigation

Google map Screenshot

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest was Zain he had to walk 4.8km and it takes him 59 minutes to get there Jolie was the closest she had 550m and it takes here 7 minutes to get there.

Harrison lives in East Tamaki so we told him to start from the glen innes train station and it also took him 550m and 7 minutes to get there.Next, we will be calculating the mean and the median.

Omaru Creek

Omaru Creek

Did you know how bad the Omaru Creek is? The Omaru Creek is so bad that the Maintenance crew had to called urgently. They came straight here and found the Glen Innes Omaru Creek in bad conditions.

They found that there was wet wipes, fat, rubbish and a lot more going into the creek.The Maintenance Crew put in fresh water and also did a test for five days.

Glen Innes School heard about this problem and is going to do something about it.Our school is going to work as a team to get this creek clean, maybe some help from the community.This is a severe situation so we are trying to clean a small section of the creek.

We went down to the creek, picked out our spot close to Apirana Road. In our part  we saw  cans, moss, clothes and much much more. The aim is to turn it back into a freshwater creek.

Everyone has a role in this Creek so it’s everyone's responsibility.
