The Cruise Ship

Today, Room 6 went to the Town Library to and noticed that there were a lot of tourists around. They had stopped in at Gisborne on a huge cruise ship. Our bus driver kindly took us on a detour on the way back to school to see it. After lunch we raced down to the beach so that we could look at it for longer and draw it. It was huge. We discussed all of the cool things that might be on the ship but also did some research on the not so good things. We found out that a cruise ship produces 10 swimming pools full of  'blackwater' each week! This 'blackwater' is made up of all sorts of things including stuff from the toilet!!! What effect does this have on marine animals?

    The ship was enormous wasn't it? I bet there were some wonderful drawings done as you are all amazing artists. "Blackwater" sounds disgusting!
