Monkey Island trip
Yesterday we went to Monkey Island as the end of our unit on Summer Safety. We found lots of interesting creatures in the rock pools including limpets, cats eyes, chitons, starfish, sea anemones, crabs, fish, barnacles.
We all climbed over the island to look at the pools on the other side of the island.
After lunch we made amazing sand creations demonstrating keeping sun smart.
A big thank you to all those wonderful parents who helped us on our trip.

Road Safety
As part of our Summer Safety unit Constable Marty came to school and talked about keeping safe crossing the road. He also spoke about bike and scooter safety. He told us about 2,4,1 wearing a helmet. Ask a child what this means.
Here we are crossing the road safely.
Learning about bike safety.

Today we looked at this!
We had a set of heart and lungs from a sheep, and we saw how the lungs inflate when air goes into them. They were very interesting to watch.
We have been writing cool sun smart messages today. Here we are at our tables thinking about what our characters will say in their speech bubbles.
These are our finished characters.

Underwater stories
These are our amazing underwater stories Room 2 wrote this week.
Underwater Adventure
Underwater Adventure
I think
Harold saw a blob fish, and I think he said “Yuck, I wonder what sort of fish
he eats?” I think the blob fish Harold saw was cheeky.
Next he saw
a blue cod and tried to bite him. “Ouch!” I said “you cheeky blue cod.” Dan
said to leave it, so I did. We followed it to its nest.
“Go. Go a
hammerhead shark is coming this way!”
By Josh P
Underwater Adventure
I saw diver
Dan get chases by a shark. He tried biting his leg off. He grabbed a raised
bream and the baracuda bit his leg off. He screamed his head off because it
hurt, and he flew out of the water.
By Jack
An adventure with fish
Fish I see
fish, a jellyfish and a blue cod. There are whales playing and stingrays hiding
in logs. Rainbow trout are swimming and goldfish are hiding in plants.
There is a
starfish lying on the bottom of the sea. There are killer whales looking for
fish.
I can see an
enormous dolphin. There are trout playing with rainbow trout, they are playing
tag.
I can see
clams and sailfish. A puffer fish came my way and spoke to me!
By Ella
Underwater Adventure
This is a big
stingray underwater with Dan the diver and Harold. They saw an octopus
underwater. He saw lots of fish.
I got a tank
on my back it was ticklish and it was fun. I saw a shark underwater. Harold was
talking to a fish underwater. I laughed my head off. Then I saw a sword fish,
it had a long nose and sharp teeth.
By Misha
Underwater Adventure
The trout is
swimming in the sea to find a hollow log.
There is no hollow log in the sea.
An electric eel is coming for me, but it is
actually going for the trout not me. I
didn’t know that. It has very sharp teeth. There was a great white shark and an
electric eel. It struck the shark dead because it electrocuted him.
By Xavier
Underwater Adventure
I saw a blue
cod and a whale and a shark. The shark had sharp teeth. The blue cod was slimy
and the whale was huge.
The shark
tried to eat me. The whale’s tail is fat it made a humongous wave and flooded
the b each. The blue cod looked tasty so I tried to catch it. I caught the blue
cod and it bit me. I thought I was bleeding but the blue cod’s tooth fell out.
Then the shark came back and it bit my arm off. I screamed my head off.
I ate the
blue cod for tea. I went diving again and I saw the whale again.
By Ollie
Underwater Adventure
I think that
Dan the diver is very clever. He had an oxygen tank on his back. He goes in the
sea lots. I bet he sees lots of interesting sea animals.
I wonder if
he got stung by a stingray? I hope he
didn’t get stung because it hurts.
He saw a
shark and the shark bit him, his leg is floating in the water.
There was a
stingray he swam away to safety.
By Hayden
Underwater Adventure
I saw a
whale, an electric eel and a jellyfish. They are pink. The electric eel got electrocuted,
so did I.
I saw a big blue whale, the biggest whale in
the world. The electric eel was really long and amazing, I went past it. I saw
heaps of fish.
By Chloe
Underwater Adventure
I saw a big
blue whale he is squirting water. I got a wee bit wet. I saw something come my
way, it was a stingray! Aarh! I wam fast. I saw a bundle of fish. They were
all sorts of fish. A shark came my way, it’s a good shark. We played with him
and his brother. We played ring a ring a Rosie, then I had to go away.
On the way
back I saw a stingray. It went straight past me. It flipped its wings like a
bird.
By Hannah
Underwater Adventure
Last weekend
Harold drove to see his friend Dan the diver.
Harold saw an electric eel. He saw a dolphin that jumped up and down.
The dolphin sprayed a gigantic spray of water. As well, a snapper nearly cut me
on the head, ow!
The snapper
cut me on the leg. That snapper is a very naughty snapper, I think I need to
get away from him. Goodbye snapper.
I got away
from the snapper. “Oh no.” The snapper is coming back. I need to swim away fast
again. It has nearly got me. It has got
me!
By Georgia
Underwater Adventure
Fish, fish,
fish swim in the sea. The snapper lives mostly in Fiordland but sometimes they
live in different places. The Fiordland eel can swim quite fast when it is
camouflaged. They get away from their
prey because they can’t see them.
Most seals
are very camouflaged because yellowy
light brown or grey brown.
Swish,
swish, zoom as fast as you can. Swish, swish, zoom. The Fiordland eel is light
brown and wiggly. It is as slimy as seaweed. It is very, very long. We can get
bitten, swim as fast as you can! It is
coming to get us. Go, go faster quick!
It is very
quiet in the fish museum but the good thing is that there are lots of fish.
By Maki
Underwater Adventure
The fish and
the shark are chasing the mother killer whale. The fish and the shark are
friendly.
I saw a
group of fish and I thought it was a shark.
By Charlie
Underwater Adventure
Harold saw a
fish. It was moving up and down. I saw a shark they have really sharp teeth.
They are cool fish.
I saw a
dolphin it was moving sideways. I saw a whale it was deep under the water. It
squirted water at me in the boat.
By Addy
Underwater Adventure
There is a
big stingray I saw it and a marlin. Harold saw a king fish too. Dan the diver
saw a shark it had fins too.
The Orca was
hunting for fish. The Orca whale is following king fish and marlin too. It got
one of each. It can see Harold but I have a spear. We have an oxygen tank and
goggles. We caught fish and a shark.
We swam to
an island. We saw a shark. That was fun. Harold screamed his head off.
B y Josh S
Underwater Adventure
The shark is
looking for its prey. The octopus has
got a person. The octopus has a hat.
The fish are
spiky. The shark is charging at me. I swim away. The Orca is getting the
octopus. It is huge.
I saw a
stingray, it is like a bat. I got eaten
by a shark. The goblin shark came to see me and it bit me. Oww.
I saw a
puffer fish too.
By Hunter
Underwater Adventure
I saw some
jellyfish and I swam through them. I wore a big oxygen tank, it helps me
breathe.
The
jellyfish can sting you. I saw a shark with big sharp teeth. If you are
bleeding in the sea a shark can smell
you and try to eat you.
Jellyfish
can be pink and blue. I wore a wetsuit and
flippers and goggles and a big oxygen
tank. Fish have gills to help them
breathe under water. Oxygen tanks are heavy.
I saw a
killer whale chasing a scaly fish. I saw a dolphin jumping and playing with his
friends in the sea. I saw an octopus with eight legs and it was eating fish.
A starfish
was sticking to a rock. I saw a flapping stingray with a huge long tail. I also
saw an electric eel it went right past me and didn’t sting me.
I saw a
goldfish it was swimming really fast and it shone like the warm sun. I saw a
seal it was eating some fish and chasing his friend away so they wouldn’t eat
its food.
A big blue
whale was squirting water out of its spout. I can see a shellfish on a shiny
rock. Wow I can see a puffer fish coming to say hello to me. Hello Mr blue cod
you are very shiny.
By Grace
Underwater Adventure
The shark
was in the fish tank. Then diver Dan dived into the fish Tank. There was a
stingray in the tank. It flapped its flippers like a bird.
I saw an
electric eel with razor sharp teeth. A big blue whale had razor sharp teeth
too. There were two baby sharks they
could bite off my arm!
Then I went
past a killer whale. When I saw the electric eel I was hiding behind a rock. I saw a moray eel too.
By William
Harold went
under the water. He saw a stingray and a dolphin. He saw a fish and an eel and a shark.
He saw an
Orca chasing the boat. He is playing with his friends. The Orca was chasing diver Dan.
By Millia
Underwater Adventure
The stingray
is flapping its wings. A fish came.
The dolphins
are jumping out of the water. They jump back in.
By Taliyah
Underwater Adventure
I saw an
orca looking for food to eat. It looked
hungry. Really really hungry.
I saw a
fish. The orca whale went to get the fish. The fish died. The shark ate the
orca.
By Greer
Underwater Adventure
Dan the
diver in. He saw an electric eel and a
trout. Swoosh he saw a giant piranha. Swoosh swoosh the piranha s cared Dan the
diver.
He swam as
fast as he could. A camouflaged puffer fish is hiding on the piranha. The
piranha got him and ate him.
By Daniel
Underwater Adventure
Look there
are fish, but not any fish. Special fish in the deep sea. They are dangerous
and harmful. Never go to close to them or….. snap!
Look at that
piranha and whale. The whales aren’t harmful
unless they are killer whales. They kill penguins. The green shark is
the most dangerous shark. The sand tiger shark
looks fearsome. Some fish blend in with the mossy stones under water.
They can hide from predators with their camo skin.
Some fish
have gills but dolphins don’t and whales.
Blue cod are endangered because of over fishing them and shipping them
to stores and markets.
Now look
it’s an orca. Look at the ship wreck of the Titanic. Look it’s the captain’s
hat. I can see an enormous massive ship. Let’s go now. We have discovered
further. Did you know? A little fish can go up to about 30 miles an hour.
There is an
extinct shark called a macarin shark. It lived 24000 years ago. It was the most
fearsome shark but the great white survived and was claimed the most dangerous
shark. Look it’s the diver. “Hi Dan let’s go diving.” Look
it’s a salmon they are yum when they are smoked. There used to be
dinosaurs they swam fast and they ate other fish but they are all gone. They
were called goblin fish.
By Sage
Underwater Adventure
I went under
water and I saw a dolphin and a shark and an eel. Dan the diver had a wet suit,
flippers and an air tank on. Dan the diver had yellow flippers on and a black
wetsuit and a big heavy air tank. The oxygen tank was a brown colour.
The shark
had really sharp teeth. Then straight away I saw a snapper. Ahh! Swim. Then I
saw another shark it was a goblin shark ahh!
Swim as fast as you can.
If I can’t
I’ll kick the goblin shark way back to land. Then I saw a killer whale. I
thought it was asleep. I crept past then it woke up ahhh! Swim, swim, swim as fast as I can or fight
it. Then I kicked the goblin shark and it was just Dan the diver.
