On Wednesday 29 May 2013 Room 15 went on a trip to see where the fresh water meets the salt water in the Panmure Basin area.
We saw the mangrove trees growing in the salt water basin. We were wondering how is this possible? Some said that seawweds and coconut trees also grow in areas that have lots of salt. We also looked at the bird life in the basin.We learnt heaps about how the Water Cycle works in the Basin area.
On the way back the children looked at the salt water in the Basin and asked "Where does the salt water come from, when we just saw that fresh water flowed from a stream under a bridge on the way to the Basin?" That was a great question to ask I thought.
