Junior Trip to Waihi Beach

Our junior syndicate had an awesome trip to Waihi Beach yesterday.  It was fantastic to have Kimberly Peters (Coast Care representative for Waihi Beach) explain to us how important sand dunes and plants such as Spinifex are in helping to protect our coastline.  We also learnt how important it is for our marine animals and birds to keep our beaches litter free. We couldn't believe how much rubbish we picked up in 20 minutes.

We finished off our afternoon collecting taonga (treasures) for our classroom nature table. We all enjoyed being out in the sunshine and fresh sea air!  A big thank you to Delwynn, Tania, Dominique, Lynn and Jessica for helping with transport and supervision.
