Harrison_ Brochure: Keep Omaru Creek Clean

The focus of my brochure is Keep It Clean. I think that the public deserve a clean creek because we work so hard to prevent it from getting polluted so if you put in the hard work then it will pay off.

Capella- Metaphor Poem on Omaru Creek

Capella is the aquatic weeds that feed the fish when the creek is clean.

Capella is the cabbage tree that just stands straight and tall.

Capella is the leaves that fall and miss the water and land on the banks.

Ashley_ Tamaki River: Family Tree

Tamaki River Family Tree

WALT:draw a family tree.

We were studying Tamaki River. There were many creeks branching off it.We had to make a Family Tree with all the creeks in Tamaki River. The creeks names are Omaru Creek, Wakaaranga Creek, Panmure Basin, Pakuranga Creek, Otahuhu Creek and Otara Creek. The Tamaki River flows into the Waitemata Harbour. The one that we are working on is Omaru Creek.

Harrison - Statistical Investigation

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest away was Zain who was 4.8km away and it would take him 59 minutes to walk. Jolie however live the closest only 550m away which by walking is 7 minutes. Harrison lives in East Tamaki so I had to work out how far it would be from the train station Next, we will be calculating the mean and the median.
