Resembles a frog
Ocean it lives in
Green and brown

It's camouflaged
Swims in the ocean
Huge it's not

Fish are fat and fun
In the ocean there are crabs
Sharks are mean and can kill
Hot sand is under my feet

Our favourite sea creatures are:
The sea dollar, shells, star fish, whales and dolphins.
We went to the pet shop to look at the fish.
We fed "Adolf" the groper.
We two live star fish and some hermit crabs.
Mrs V. scanned a drawing to send to the book rap web site.
Our Travel Buddy
Our travel buddy is a seal. His name is Slappy Panamuna.
Panamuna means Ocean.
Did you know baby seals drink milk, just like human babies.
Seals stick their noses up out of the water to breathe.
What we talked about this week:
What do you like about the beach? What don't you like?
We made a list with Mrs W. and wrote it on a beach ball.

Katie:- Seahorses swim
standing up.

The bottle-nosed dolphin by the Holy Cross Rainbow Fish Book Rappers
(Lauren, Hannah-May, Alvin and Jessica who is still away)
We are worried about this animal because it is getting caught in tuna nets that
fisherman use and is drowning. Here is some things we found out about the
bottle-nosed dolphin.
* it is a mammal which means it is warm-blooded and drinks
its mother's milk
* it is a good swimmer
* when a lot of them get together it is called a school
* it has a dorsal fin and flippers
* its tail moves up and down
* it has sharp, short teeth which it uses to eat squid, starfish and
fish
* breathes oxygen through its blowhole which is on top of its head
* its body is made out of skin not scales
* makes squeaky noises ( we heard one on the computer)
* it has good hearing, it can hear echoes

Porcupine Fish
Porcupine Fish puff up when they are scared.
They are from a group of fish called puffers.
A Porcupine Fish looks like a spikey ball.
They live in warm waters.
They breathe in the water to puff out their spikes.
They grow to four times their size.
We cannot eat Porcupine Fish as they are poisonous.

Our favourite unusual sea creature is
the sea scorpion. It lives amongst the seaweed in deep rock pools, and it
eats smaller fish and shrimp. the sea scorpion cannot swim fast, but it
has a huge mouth, so it can catch enough food to eat. It has spiky fins to
protect itself. The spikes also have a little bit of poison in them. Sea
scorpions can turn darker, or lighter to match their surroundings. They
are normally a brown, speckled kind of colour. Its eyes can turn right
around in its head. We like the sea scorpion because we think it looks a
bit like a toad fish or puffer fish, and lots of us have caught them when
we have been fishing. Bye for now,
1J at Mount Cotton S.S.

After a lot of thinking and voting and choosing,
the children of 2K decided upon a favourite sea creature. Then we
decided to use some of the genres we've learnt this year with this sea
creature as our main idea. We hope you enjoy our bits and pieces.

A Riddle
by Janine, Leah, Molly, Megan and Makayla
What am I?
I live under the sea.
I eat shellfish.
I can be all sorts of colours.
I'm as big as a 7 year old's hand.
When one of my legs gets chopped off, it grows back again.
What am I?
I
am a sea star.
A
Sea Star
by
Conor, Matther, Andrew, Sarah, Michael & Laura
This is a Sea Star.
It is an invertebrate.
It lives in rock pools or reefs.
It eats shellfish and coral.
It can be many colours.
It is about 14cm long.
It is used to be called a starfish but scientists cal it a sea star now
because the scientists figured out the sea star was not a fish - it is an
invertebrate.
