Our Trip to the Maitai Dam











Yesterday I loved going to the Maitai Dam because the water glowed. by Luke H.








Yesterday Renwick 2, Renwick 3 and Room 11 went to the Maitai Dam. I went in Isobel's car with Pingo. When we got to the Maitai Dam, this man took us up a steep hill by the spillway. We saw big pipes as well as little pipes. It was fun, super and cool. by Josephine








On Thursday, Te Miri, Maya and Emily drove to the Maitai Dam. When we arrived, all the people were there. The man taught us. His name was Adrian. He taught us that the water was a liquid. We had a scrumptious lunch. by Emily
