Kia Ora Room 19 students and families!!!!

Young Ocean Explorers visit.

Room 19 thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Riley and her Dad who have set up the Young Ocean explorers website. We learnt how Riley's life changed all because of a school project she completed !
We also learnt how we can all make a change to help protect our oceans and the creatures who live in them.

Here is a link if you want to check out the website and watch some of the cool videos!
