Mrs Fenemor knew that Fred & Thelma Leov had a rainfall station, so we went to visit them on Monday afternoon to learn a bit of history on how it came about and how it works. Mr Leov walked the students through the details required, down to points of an mm, answered curly questions on the most rainfall, with the curly one being what was the least amount of moisture they had recorded!! Mrs Fenemor came away with 2014- Fred Leov explains the details of the 2019 records, and the students will rain station to Year 9's (above photo) now graph these into their climograph. and Year 10's (below photo) Tapawera in focus for the Community Transport Trust The Nelson Tasman Community Transport Trust (NTCTT) is conducting a study to assess the needs for transport in the Tasman community of Motueka and Tapawera. We created a service between Wakefield and Richmond to help people without mean of transportation to reaching out further within their area or to Richmond. We are now assessing the needs within your area and further to Richmond. To establish a useful service, we need you to tell us in a short survey what will be the key criteria and places that would most efficiently get the service you deserve for you and your area. The survey will be published in the Motueka Guardian, and online (through NTCTT.org.nz for more info). Following this process, we would like to invite you to a community conversation on either the 24th June at 3pm or the 25th June at 2pm held at The Tapawera School (limited places - contact us or leave your details at the end of the survey). Please note, these details will be kept safe within our trust for the purpose of this study. If you would like more information about this survey or the focused conversations in Tapawera and Motueka, please contact Nathalie at [email protected], or message us via our Facebook page @NTCommunityTransport, by phone/ text on 0204 196 0553. Issue 8 2020 Page 6 Mt Robert Tramp - the Y11 Trip up the Lake to Bushline Hut. On Friday the 29th of June a group of students went to Mt Robert for a tramp. We all hopped in the van and left at 8:45 am and headed off to Lake Rotoiti. Once we got to the lake after an hours drive we got our gear and started thinking about our tramp: how we will do it? what do we need? how long do we have? After thinking about our plan we headed off up the hill for our tramp. We had a few stops on the way up the Pinchgut Track getting drinks, taking clothes off, etc but we all made it to the top in the end.

    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand NELSON/MARLBOROUGH CONSERVANCY Farewell Spit (39) Location: 40o32'S, 172o50'E. At the northern extremity of Golden Bay and the northwestern extremity of South Island, 38 km from the town of Takaka, Tasman District. Area: 11,388 ha (land area c.1,961 ha; inter-tidal zone c.9,427 ha). Altitude: Sea level to 3 m. - 155 - A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand Overview: Farewell Spit is a classic recurved spit, approximately 30 km long, composed predominantly of uniform quartz sand derived from rivers draining westwards and transported northward by the westland current. The north is exposed to the Tasman Sea, but the south has extensive tidal mudflats. These provide feeding areas for large numbers of waterfowl. Some 95 species were recorded on the spit in March 1974, and more than 83 species of wetland birds are regularly recorded at the spit. The sand dunes provide habitat for a diverse and unusual plant community. Farewell Spit was listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on 13 August 1976. Physical features: Farewell Spit is a classic recurved spit. The material forming the spit is derived from erosion of the Southern Alps and West Coast sea cliffs, transported northwards by a long-shore current. Since the estimated origin of the spit 6,500 years ago, an estimated 2.2 million cubic metres of sand have been deposited per annum. Wind transports more surface sand towards Golden Bay, although the majority of sand lies below the mean low water mark.

The final report has now been published and is an official document for all to see. I have placed this on our school website (www.murchison.school.nz ). It can also be found on the ERO website at www.ero.govt.nz . The following are some extracts from the report: 1) “Respectful and caring relationships contribute to equitable and successful outcomes for students. Students learn in a settled and supportive learning environment. Teachers know students very well as individuals and as learners and focus on their holistic wellbeing and academic success. Individual students’ learning is well tracked and monitored by classroom teachers. The school and wider community work closely to support and enrich students’ learning.” 2) “Students who need extra assistance to succeed are very well supported. There are improved systems to effectively identify, monitor and support these students. The school works constructively with parents and experts beyond the school to find solutions to improve student outcomes at home and at school. Students with additional learning needs benefit from well -considered individual learning plans and are supported towards full inclusion.” 3) “The vision, values and priorities that underpin the school’s culture and curriculum are well known and evident in practice. This includes restorative practices and growth mindset approaches.The school’s valued outcomes for students are regularly shared to build and embed understanding.

    The Signature of an Extreme Erosion Event on Suspended Sediment Loads: Motueka River Catchment, South Island, New Zealand

    184 Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. The signature of an extreme erosion event on suspended sediment loads: Motueka River catchment, South Island, New Zealand D. M. HICKS1 & L. R. BASHER2 1 National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, PO Box 8602, Christchurch, New Zealand [email protected] 2 Landcare Research, Private Bag 6, Nelson Mail Centre, Nelson 7042, New Zealand Abstract Five years of continuously monitoring turbidity and suspended sediment (SS) at four sites in the Motueka River catchment, northern South Island, New Zealand, has characterised the downstream and temporal dispersion of high SS inputs from an extreme rainfall event. The rainstorm, of >50 year recurrence interval, was concentrated in the upper Motueka and Motupiko tributaries and delivered high sediment outputs from re-activated gully complexes and landslides. These only appear to activate when a rainfall threshold is exceeded. Monitoring stations in these tributaries captured a ~20- to 30-fold increase in SS concentrations and event sediment yields, whereas the monitoring station at the coast recorded only a 2- to 5-fold increase. The high concentrations and event yields decayed exponentially back towards normal levels over ~2–3 years at both upstream and downstream sites. Field observations suggest that this erosion recovery trend relates more to the exhaustion/stabilisation of transient riparian sediment storage than to “healing” of the primary erosion sites by surface-armouring and/or re-vegetation. The downstream decay relates both to dilution (from other tributaries carrying lower SS concentrations) and dispersion processes.
