Punakitere Awa

 Punakitere Awa

On the Saturday morning me,Simon and

Petuere went with Mrs Paraha to see Punakitere Awa because we are learning about rivers .

First we had a look on some maps to look for Punakitere river. So we found where it is.

Then we made some videos about Punakitere. It was fun doing the videos.

 

Next we went outside and had some 

snacks. It was chocolates, rice cakes and caramel sticks. They were delicious.

 

Then we started our journey to find Punakitere.

Our first trip was to find the source. The source is where the river begins. Our journey was to find it. We drove down Orakau road following the river.

There was heaps of nature around the river. 

Then we found the source and took some photos. The source is at Hikurangi Maunga.  It was fun.

After that we drove to school to look at the  maps again. We were trying to look for the mouth. The mouth is where the river ends.

We looked on the maps and it looked cool. We found where Punakitere ends. It ends

at the Hokianga Harbour.

  

Finally we drove down Picadilly road and looked where Punakitere leaves Tautoro.

That night I felt joyful because it was fun and I learned lots about all sorts of rivers.
