Sumner beach

Great to have my laptop back after repairing, to resume our class blog!

Yesterday we had a very successful trip to Sumner beach where Jason, from the Christchurch City Council, talked to us about the sand dunes, a natural barrier to the destructive forces of winds and waves.   Jason was very passionate about his subject and gave us lots of reasons to protect the sand dunes.  He challenged us to create our own sand dunes using the information he gave us.    Each group explained why they created their sand dune the way they did.

Huge thanks to our parents and grandparent for being with us ... it would not have been possible to go without you ... Victoria's mum, Hamish's dad, Clara's grandmother visiting from the Philippines and Louisa's Dad.
