Polluted Water

For the last week of our Waterwatch incursion, Julie brought in a tub of clean, drinkable water. After we had settled down in a circle, we each got a small canister, and on the front there was a labeled part which said something like: Garry Guzzler, Cameron Caughtafew, Dan Demolisher, school kids, and much more.

Julie started to tell a story which was about a platypus named Puddles. One day he saw a strange red rock floating in the water, and decided to follow it. The red rock wasn't a rock at all, it was a canoe with people rowing in it.

As he followed the rock, lots of polluted material gets washed into the river that Puddles is swimming in, such as: litter, grass clippings, sand, car oil, paint, dirt.. theres so many!

In the end, the water looked a lot dirtier than it was at the beginning. It was all brown with rubbish floating on top. It didn't look very clean or drinkable anymore.

Poor Puddles!
