Pirie Room Water Wise Bags

Dear Pirie Room Parents,
As you know, our unit of inquiry this term is “H2O where does it go?” To help us make links to the wider world we would like you to help us collect information about water. The children are very excited about taking home one of our “Water Wise” bags to help with our research.
In the bags there is:

· A clipboard where you will record your information
· A magnifying glass to do some detective work
· A book with songs, poems and pictures to share (your recording pages will be added to this folder too)
· A water sample bottle (to collect some pool water, pond or creek water – whatever you have in your backyard or home ie. bubble bath water!)
· A watering can for your child to wisely water plants at home
We would love you to encourage your child to:

· Draw a picture of what they like to do with water
· Take a photo of them using water or being water wise

These pieces of information will be used for our research and will be shared and then displayed in our room.
Please keep the bag for 1-2 days or a weekend, as we would love to ensure that every family has a turn during this term.
Thank you in anticipation for your help!
Kind regards,
Pirie Room team
