Kelly Tarltons

Today is the day Team 5 go on their school trip to Kelly Tarltons, HooRay!  When the bell rang, Miss Lavakula had to split the class into parent helper groups.  I was excited because my mum was one of the parent helpers.  Now it was off to the hall to have a quick prayer and head off to Kelly Tarltons.  In my mum’s group was Me, Harlem, Ashley, Josh and Jessica.



As soon as we arrived at Kelly Tarltons, we went into the Aquarium Room.   We learned heaps of interesting facts about Antarctica like the kind of clothes explorers wore, how it’s the coldest place on earth and a lot of awesome facts about penguins.  My favorite thing about the penguins was when the penguins molt and they get really grumpy.  Molt is when penguins start pulling all their fur out so new fur can grow.  Can you believe they have 17 lots of fur? Did you know  Sir Edmund Hillary made Scotts base in Antarctica for NZ explorers to stay, and it is painted Green to remember New Zealand. I also found out that the Emperor penguins are the tallest penguins and are the boss of all the penguins.



After the Aquarium Room, we traveled to Okahu Bay to have morning tea.  I had a sausage roll then it was playtime with Harlem.  We went onto the flying fox then onto the boat then the rope rock climbing and the swings.  It was so much fun because the playground was way cooler then the playground back at school and morning tea was way longer.



We  headed back to Kelly Tarltons after morning tea to explore the wonderful underwater world. The first thing we looked at was the penguins swimming. Some of them were standing on ice it was crazy even they swam to us standing by the glass.  The penguins were massive and we entered this weird tunnel it had heaps of sharks,fish,little nemos and more. Even room 13 and 16 had a look around at the stingray and the big fish.  After we looked at those things we looked at the crayfish and the glowing sea horses and the blue fish.  My favorite animal was the penguins and the stingray.



As soon as we came back we all had a good time we love going to underwater world. We felt excited when we came back because all of us had to write and had lunch.

Football 2


On a exciting day my teacher said that there was going to be football.  As soon i heard that i was so pumped up but our teacher said we had to do the roll.  I could not wait much longer because i wanted to kick a ball around.  Our teacher said line up and i lined up so fast and off we went to wonderful football.

As soon as we got there we did octopus 2 times and we played another type of octopus but with a ball.   We had to pick a partner i picked Harlem because he is super good at soccer. One of our partners had to stand in the middle and one had to kick the ball. It was hard because we had to spin around and look backwards and sit down it was kind of hard but the good thing is that we had fun.|

After that we had a real game of soccer it was kind of fun because we got all of the good guys.  They played very good i played good because i got the ball heaps of times.  Our team was yellow bibs all of our games was a tie. I love soccer and all of us love soccer.

Trapped by an octopus


There was 6 children that were less founchint than other people because they had no money for food or drink.  The older sister wanted to go to this party because there was heaps of food like chips, ice cream, chocolate and sausage rolls you had to wear a costume.



Her costume was a octopus made out of ripped up sheets she thought it was going to look ugly but it look kind of cool. Her brother gave her a paper bag for her head it looked like a real face and she left for the party. She was swing her flippers around and she was starving so she went to eat but she couldn't because she was wearing her undies!

My giant squid



Scientists have been investigating Giant Squids. These squids don’t have a backbone and there favorite food is shellfish. This squid has a very strong beak and they can squeeze their food with their tentacles. The squid can squeeze through small gaps. They have no bones so that must feel weird. The tentacles have suckers that can stick onto the glass or onto a stony wall. Ouch!
