River Talks

This term our children looked at natural features in our environment. We focused a lot on Omaru Creek. The creek is just off Elstree Avenue is Glen Innes. For the last few years, people in the community have come together to try and educate people on how to care for the Omaru Creek. River Talks was hosted here and our classes got to visit the presentations and listen to guests share. Here a few photos from our visit.

On Saturday I went with my aunty Bev, aunty Nooroa and my cousins to the Kids Safety Day at the Point England Reserve.
