Matua Ray's visit

 Matua Ray’s Visit

On Monday Matua Ray came to talk to our class about how to keep our fresh waterways healthy.

First he set up the Whitebait Connection presentation.

Next Matua Ray talked about the clarity of the water.

He used a long tube full of freshwater and gave some of the kids a turn on the tube. I really wanted a turn. 

There was a black magnet and he pulled it down until the kids could not see the magnet.

Then he chose three children to do an experiment.  They were testing some containers to see if they were safe levels for our streams. They used coloured strips of paper to test what was in them.  I thought this was really interesting.  I can't wait to do another whitebait presentation.
