Te Taiao O Tamaki-River Talks

Last week I got the opportunity to go to River Talks at the Omaru creek. Our creek is horrendous. It is filled with rubbish, fat, kids toys and even rotten mattresses. At the River Talks people talked to us about making the river cleaner, becoming a cleaner community and changing our environment. 

At the River Talks there were about 5 schools, there were Pt England, Tamaki College, Glen Innes School, Te kura kaupapa maori o puau and Glen Taylor. Back then our river used to be clean, people were able to swim in it. Nowadays its disgusting, no one can swim in it now. 

How can our community help? We need to fix our river immediately. Its disgusting.

Task: Our task was to complete this presentation given to us by our teacher Mrs Ilaoa. In our story it talks about a boy and his sister who is thirsty. Aqua-Plex shows up to the neighbors and puts water into there tank. The siblings are in desperate need of water so the brother connects the hose to the tank and pumps water into there pipes.

Te Taiao O Tamaki-1

Te Taiao O Tamaki

What it is?

Te Taiao O Tamaki is a saying us Manaiakalani schools use. It means, The Environment Of Tamaki. This year that is one of the focuses in all Manaiakalani schools. It simply means our environment.

As most local people now we have the Pt England Beach. We have the Glen Innes and Panmure pools and even the Oamaru creek. 2 years ago I attended an event called River Talks. The river talks was held at the Oamaru creek. At the river talks we talked about our river. Why is it so polluted? Why is it green?

Some people from the area talked to us about how it was back in the day. You could swim in it they said. Most people know how this is caused. It is caused by us throwing rubbish away. The rubbish can go through drains, fly and eventually end up in our now disgusting river.  We talked about how we could fix the problem too. We all agreed to help clean up our river and community.

On the other hand Pt England Beach isn’t the best either. As most people know we have had some pollution at the beach too. Our beach was filled with rubbish at some point. Does that effect the community?

Te Taiao O Tamaki, The Environment Of Tamaki. As a student of Pt England School and a child from the area I expect our area to be clean and healthy for the next generations. I want them to have green grass, clean waterways, everything. What if our water gets so polluted everyone moves out of the community? What is going to happen for the next generations?

Letter to Council

Pt England School

130 Pt England Road

Pt England

Auckland

Tuesday 28th February 2017

Dear Council,

My name is Venetia. I am a year 8 student at Pt England School. The reason why I am sending you this letter is because I would like you to fix this on going problem of our water. What can we do to fix it? How can our country help? Why is there not enough water?

What is our problem? Our problem is our water. Why is there not enough for our country? My suggestion would be you fix this problem so there can be enough water for our whole country to enjoy. Wouldn't it be cool if everyone in the country had enough water?

All im asking is for you to fix this problem. Can you imagine our earth without water in 100 years? Our earth is losing a lot of water. If our country can do it then maybe the rest of the world can. Can you listen to your people for once?

Yours sincerely,

Venetia
