the great drain game

Hi today we did something very cool some people came and we learned about what happens when water and waste goes down our drain's here are three paragraphs that show what happened in the 3 activities

Activity 1 V.R and wetland talk
our first activity was Virtual reality where we learned about the affects of plastic in the sea's and oceans. We looked at a beach that was covered in plastic and and amazing ocean fulled with coral.

Next we did the wetland talk where we looked at animals that lived in wetlands and we did a really cool thing where there was a miniature wetland and drained dirty and polluted water and changed it into much cleaner water because the grass and other plants drained out the sediment which was fascinating.

Here are some facts we learned the wetlands stop floods and other thing's, they did some water samples in Scotland and found over half of them were polluted and the wet lands make polluted water into cleaner water.

Activity 2 location of the drains

Our next activity was we got a map of Owairaka and found all the drains we did it with lunisi and we were in a group of 8 we went all over the school and even into the car-park! Me and my friend found 25 drains but another group found 30. Some facts we learnt there are different types of drains there are round ones and rectangular ones and very long one and there are two different types of drains there are the ones that are connected to pipes and there are the ones that are for collecting storm water.

Activity 3 diorama of Auckland city showing where our water goes.
Our last activity was my favourite the was a diorama that showed where all of our water goes after we use it. At the top there was a drain, a toilet, taps and a rubbish bin we showed where we thought different objects which were detergent, nappies and rain water went and where we thought it was going.
Some facts I learnt was leaves shouldn't go into the drains and  you should never put nappies or wet wipes down the toilet and because in will get stuck and might blow up the pipe!

What was your favourite part?
Bye, Matilda.
