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.

What i need to work on.

Pace, Acceleration and Consolidation

                               First B.F                                                                     

 This B.F

The 3 keywords for this year are PACE, ACCELERATION and CONSOLIDATION. For the first basic facts assessment  I got 26 and in week 3 I got 30 I think this is acceleration.

For the next basic facts I hope to get 35 to 40. I will consolidate  my fractions and percentages and division.

7. Do some research. What are precautions we can take to make sure we are prepared for a tsunami?

When in coastal areas, stay alert for tsunami warnings.

Plan an evacuation route that leads to higher ground.

Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in.
