Dallas Hodges Park writing



Last Friday we went to Hodges Park with Harriet and learned  about water. Fist we did the clarity test.


Millie filled up the bottle with water and poured it in the tube and Charli looked at the magnet. Harriet pulled the magnet back until Charli couldn’t see the magnet any more.


When Charli could not see the magnet, she said, “Stop!” and Harriet checked the measurement. It was 82cm.


Ashton dropped the orange ball in the water. Morgan timed how long it took to get to Kobe.  It was about 24 seconds. We were learning about the water flow.


Then we got our baskets and nets.We used the nets and put them in the water then dragged it out into the basket.

We collected some creatures  then we put them into a specimen identification box. It had a chart on the lid to help us work out what each creature was. We found fresh water crayfish, mayflies, wooden cased caddis flies, and some freshwater snails.

Harriet helped us find out that the Otepapa stream is a healthy stream.

  5. Dear Dallas,
    Your Hodges park writing was a awesome recount from an awesome experience. It must have been fun to go in the water. Did you find any 10 on the sensitivity chart bugs?
    Yours sincerely,
    Aston.

  6. Hi Dallas
    you did amazing writing,
    I like that you included how many seconds and cm the ball travelled.
    Did the ball get stuck?
