On Monday the 25th of march, Clevedon school, kauri team lined up on the top court ready to line up on the bus with our friends. We were all dressed up in appropriate mufti all knowing we would get dirty, our bags were full of hats, sunblock, water bottles and spare clothing, Mrs Kidd talked to us for a while and then we set of on the bus ride there. Me and my friends sat in the back. Once we arrived this lady called Sophie gave us an educational talk and then we set of into our groups. In my group was Cooper, Miranda, Dominic and me. Our instructor thing was mrs king (coopers nan).
First we walked all the way around to the actual kawakawa bay beach, it was huge! When we got to were we had to be we realised we had to do all the even number of H's. It took us a long time to find H2. When we did we chose our responsibilities for the first one. I was the measurer, cooper was the sieve shaker, Dominic was the water pourer, Miranda got the water and mrs king recorder.
HOW TO DO IT
1. Place the sieve in the ground and trace the shovel around it
2. Dig out the square with the shovel and put the sand and shellfish in the sieve
3.pour the water on top and shake
4. All the shellfish (and what ever else) will appear
5.pick up the cockle and give them to the measurer and record the size
Our first one wasn't the best because it was most far away from the sea/ocean
Our last one was the best! We got 77 cockles! Then we set back down and collected the bags, had a little fun with crabs and my mum drove me back to the site and we had lunch and a play and then set back of to school
Today was really fun and I learnt to things today, you find whelk shells in groups or among dead shells and harbour top shells move and leave trails in the ground!
