Heathcote river floods
On Thursday 24 July, Thorrington School students crowded around the big flood that was outside our school. There were ducks on the footpath and water was everywhere. Some people were amazed to see such a big flood. Last time there was a flood, the Heathcote River was infected with dirt at Beckford Road just earlier than than 6:00 p.m. on Saturday 5 July and pumping stations on the Avon, at Fendalton Street and River Road, bent under the strain and discharged soon after. However, on 24 July the flood came back covering the footpath bringing with it mud, water and ducks.

Yes, thanks for the letter Sakura, it was lovely. Glad you are having a good time, sounds like you'll enjoy the cold when you get back. The band recording was awesome, you'll have to hear it. Actually, it's on the class website, check it out. We missed having you there, but managed okay. The Olivias covered the keyboards and flutes very well.
