Stormwater and Wastewater
LI: To understand the difference between stormwater and wastewater
know Your Drains!
There are 2 types of drains (see the diagram above):
  • Inside drains like your toilet, sinks and washing machine that go to the sewer treatment plant.
  • Outside drains like your gutters, driveway drains and roadside stormwater drains that go directly into our streams, lake and beaches without any treatment!  So anything tipped, washed or accidentally spilled into an outside drain will end up in our streams, lake and on our beaches – and then we swim and fish in it!

The Main Message to Get Out There!

  • Nothing but clean rainwater should run into stormwater drains.  When chemicals and wastes such as oil, paint, detergents, or even food and green waste (leaves etc.) flow down stormwater drains, they run directly into streams or the sea untreated.  These pollutants can kill fish, shellfish, insects, plants and other living things, as well as polluting the water we swim in!




Challenge 1

Read the statements below and copy and paste them onto the chart. To do this correctly you will need to identify which statements are about wastewater and which statements are about stormwater



  • Goes down pipes into sewage pipes
  • Collects wastewater from outside your house
  • Pollutants include food scraps, detergents, paint, human faeces, grease and oil
  • Collects rainwater from roofs, yards and driveways
  • Goes down roadside drains or stormwater drains on roads, yards and car parks
  • Flows into stormwater pipes which carries run-off into the nearest stream, harbour and beach
  • Pollutants include rubbish, paint, animal faeces, garden rubbish, pesticides, air pollution, chemicals, soil, grass clippings, grease and oil, detergent, rubber, heavy metals from cars such as zinc and copper
  • Flows into sewage treatment plant before being dispersed into the environment
  • Collects wastewater from inside houses, offices, schools, factories etc

The Tamaki Walk

This is my Poster of the Tamaki Walk my School did.

The River


The River
LI: To explore the emotion and metaphor in the poem


The River’s a wanderer,
A nomad, a tramp
He doesn’t choose one place
To set up his camp

The River’s a winder
Through valley and hill
He twists and he turns
He just cannot be still

The River’s a hoarder
And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep

The River’s a baby
He gurgles and hums
He sounds like he’s happily
Sucking his thumbs

The River’s a singer
As he dances along
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song

The River’s a monster
Hungry and vexed
He’s gobbled up trees
And he’ll swallow you next


Valerie Bloom

Mountain Description By Suliasi and Finao


Mt Tongariro:

Mt Tongariro is brave because he stood his ground to protect his bride.
and is unbreakable and mentally strong because he was able to make his friends surrender and retreat,
Mt Tongariro is so agile/athletic because when his brothers hit him from the back he was quick enough to sidestep them to get away and
Mt Tongariro was courageous/sensitive because he was not scared to die for his LOVE.


Mt Taranaki:

Mt Taranaki:
Mt Taranaki was jealous and grumpy and  furious  of Mt Tongariro because he got the bride, he was
strong and  that he fought so long for pihanga but Lost and
was staunch because he was loyal and committed to fight for Pihanga love and
was unfaithful because he fought his best friend for Pihanga.

Mt Taranaki was selfish because he thought he was the only one worthy of Pihanga heart.

Mt Tauhara :

Mt Tauhara was a coward and sneaky because when Tongariro was vulnerable then he tried to hit him he also
was romantic and ashamed because when had to leave he look back to Pihanga because he tried to get a final glimpse of her but not long enough because he was ashamed/humiliated.

Mt Putauaki:

He is sneaky because he tried to sucker punch Mt Tongariro and
He is weak  because he thought he could beat the fierce Mt Tongariro,
He was embarrassed ,like Mt Taranaki he lost to Mt Tongariro

He was sloppy because his sucker punch was too slow and he let Mt Tongariro move and then
He was so gutless that he tried to blind shot Mt Tongariro ,
He was chicken hearted because he was too scared to fight Mt Tongariro alone.


Mt Pihanga:

She was so caring she did not want them to fight over her but
was loyal to Mt Tongariro because she stood by his side the whole way.
She was loving to Mt Tongariro because she made sure they knew that she liked him,
She was so gentle to all mountains.
She was soft to Mt Tongariro.
She was sensitive/kind to all mountains and didn’t want them to fight.
