Setting sail

Dear Lj

I was on a Waka traveling from my home land to New Zealand.
On my way I saw lots of dolphins, whales, stingrays, and other kinds of fish.
My most favourite part was when I saw the dolphins jumping up and down and
flipping around my Waka. When I was in site of an island, two baby sharks
started to circle around my Waka and I grabbed my spare threw it to the baby
sharks and killed both. When I reached an island, I setup my tent on camping
spot so that I could sleep in it at night. After setting up my tent I made a boom
fire so that I could cook the two sharks that I had caught.

Lj I really enjoyed my trip and suggesting you to try this too.

Merry X Mas and have nice holidays.

We then had to share with Mrs. Raj three facts about the shapes we made with our bodies. After that we did 10 star jumps,10 pushups,10 step ups and at the end we touched our toes and jumped up 10 times.

     Kelly Tarltons

Last wednesday the 25th of october 2017 Rm10 and 9 went on a trip to Kelly Tarltons. We went Kelly Tarltons by bus it took us 30 minutes to reach there. We went to Kelly Tarltons to learn about sea animals.

After 30 minutes we arrived at Kelly Tarltons. We all assembled in scott's hut. After that we walked along the walls and ended up at a photo place and everybody that passed there got to get taken a photo.

Then we were at the penguin's place where we watched a lady feed penguin's. We saw 2 types of penguin's the 2 types of penguin's were king penguin and the gentoo penguin. It was cool.

After that we walked into scott's base it showed inside of an olden house and inside of it was all dusty and old.

Next we went to the cafe and we all had our lunch. At the back of us were drawings that got clored and got hanged up on the walls.

When we finished our lunch we all lined up and headed to the shark zone. When we entered the shark zone there was an sidewalk that moves and on the left side of the sidewalk was just floor that does not move. We saw lots of sharks, big fish, sting-rays and lots of small fish.

Then it was time to go to the Kelly tarltons classroom and learn about all the sea animals we saw.

In the classroom our teacher name was Ms sakura she told us that all the sharks that we saw are all friendly but looked scare. Ms sakura showed us shells that came from snails, crabs, turtles and a per of shark teeth.

Finally it was time to go back to school but when we go to the bus the other class was not there so we crossed the road and went to the beach and we all took lots of saffes.

Then the other class came and we all crossed the road and got on the bus and went back to school.

It was so so fun at kelly Tarltons. My favourite part at Kelly Tarltons was going to the shark zone.
