!The Last Post!

Well today it has come to end for our class sadly but I have to say we like the travels that we had and we had a fun time as well.
Though it we learnt what we should not do:
• Wash your car
• Drop your rubbish
• And more

What we should look for:
• Clarity
• Habitat
• Algae
• Bugs in the water

Well I would just like to say we have learnt a lot on the travel though trying to make the river a better place. I think that we have made an effort and we have made the community aware of what is going on down in there river and I just like to thank every one who gave us help with this and made it possible.
So to sum it all up I would like to thank each and every one for you.

Over and out from the year 10 leadership class and good bye!!
