Awakeri School

Rooms 12, 13, and 14 Science Trip to Otarawairere Bay
February 2010

It was a beautiful day at Otarawairere. We even watched Moko the dolphin playing with a group of surfers at West End as we walked over the track! Here Sam, Rico, Reilly and Mrs Luca have an island all to themselves to study the rock pools.	Now they are measuring up a pool.
Mr Schlepers's group get ready to measure the temperature of their low tide pool.	A giant starfish in one of the pools.
Here's a more normal sized cushion starfish, attached to Aroha!	Christian's group are hard at work observing the pool, recording the animals, what they're doing, how many, etc.
It's nice to sit in a pohutukawa tree in your breaks!	Or relax underneath one! Peace out everyone!
Ezra works hard at his science studies.	Science finished, now we're getting ready for a swim!
Ready, set....	and we're off, into the surf. The parents are already out there, forming a human boundary!
	Fun in the surf. We tried to get Moko to come round to Otarawairere Bay, but he was still having too much fun at West End Ohope. He'd stolen someone's boogy board!
