Spotlight Ruru Term 1 2025

A Fun-Filled Afternoon with Watercare!

Ruru class had the incredible chance to explore the water cycle with Sarah from Auckland Watercare. We journeyed as water droplets, traveling through Auckland all the way to the Waikato River! Along the way, we learned about the water cycle and followed the path of water as it flowed through underground pipes to reach our taps at home. The students had a blast dramatizing the water cycle and imagining what they’d like to be used for if they were water droplets at home.

One of the highlights was creating their very own water cycle displays using ziplock bags, sharpies, and blue water – a favorite activity for many! The children enjoyed making connections between the stages of the water cycle and discovering ways we can all conserve water at home.

A huge thank you to Sarah from Watercare for providing such an enjoyable and educational experience!
