River Monitoring

River Visit

On Friday the students continued to improve and add to their blogs. They are now ready to start sharing ideas with people all over the world! Please do visit the students' sites and leave a comment.

We spent the afternoon exploring the Hautapu and found some interesting things - will leave it up to the students to explain!

Now the work begins...

Hello class

Great work last week deciding on your issue – today we are going to start thinking about what exactly you want to do and achieve this term…

Block 1:

• Check school email and update blog
• You should now have two posts - intro post saying what issues we considered and the second post describing what issue we chose and why we chose it.
• Put a site meter on your blog (log in to http://www.sitemeter.com/). This page will give you detailed instructions for adding the meter. It will appear as a small green icon at the bottom of your site.
• Check out your classmate’s blogs
• Develop Project Plan – what do we need to do??? -- GOALS --

Block 2:

• Continue with project planning
• Start allocating tasks
• Begin making contacts in community
• Depart 12.00 for town. First stop is the information centre… then on to the stream!

Block 3:

• Exploration of Hautapu Stream
• Return to school in time for buses – possibly time to update blog
