OUR TRIP TO KELLY TARLTON'S

 In the classroom, I liked the shark jaw. I thought it would be heavy, but it was light. - Watalu

What I found interesting, was the giant squid. I thought there were only little squid. - Jessica
 I was really surprised that the lady let us touch all the stuff.  I really enjoyed the stingrays when they jumped on the lady and holding the sea stars. I learned that sea stars' bottoms are on their backs. -Belle

I learned that penguins can lose parts of their beaks. I liked the sharks because I like their top fins. - Blake.
 In the classroom, we saw a skeleton of a sea star and a sea horse, real shark jaws, penguin toenails and much more. I thought it was interesting when the lady showed us a picture of a turtle swimming past some plastic bags. The turtles think that they are jellyfish so they eat them and that is bad. I learned that sea horses can lay up to 150 eggs in one day! -Gabriella
 I found the puffer fish interesting because when it is scared it puffs up. I learned that the male sea horses carry the babies. I learned that sharks have more than one row of teeth.- Julie
 I liked the penguins. It was my first time seeing penguins. I dressed up like a penguin. - Nicolas

I learned about the carpet shark and their  egg sacks because I never knew the eggs could hang up on the coral. Those eggs are special. - Kevin Jin

 The shark skin was interesting because one side was rough and the other side was smooth. The carpet shark's eggs were really interesting. They are called mermaid's purses. I learned from the lady in the classroom to never buy turtle shells. - Ariana

ANZAC DAY - Room 18 have been learning about this special day.

Listen to Bada and Ben Haydon reading their information reports about ANZAC Day. In the photos you will see our student teacher, Miss Grant. She shared a picture of her grandfather and his medals with us. She also showed us the medals she received for her service in the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
