Don:eel scientist

Don: Eel scientist
  • Hello this morning the Batten team listened to Don who was telling us about ells. The first thing he told us was that shortfin eels like eating crabs. You can tell that a eel has eaten a crab by looking at the bottom of it. When you look at the bottom of it and it is red it means that it has eaten a crab. The second thing was that It takes 7-10 months for a baby eel to get back to New Zealand and it takes 5-6 months for an adult eel to get to Tonga. When an eel is  swimming it can look backwards well swimming fords.
  • These are some of the interesting things that we learnt about eels

  • Eels eat little baby ducklings
  • Eels can smell their pray from about 4 meters away.
  • There are 19 species of eels in the world.
  • Females can grow up to 3 meters long.
  • Eels teeth face backwards.
  • When an eel catches its prey there is know way for the prey to escape.
  • A really big eel can give birth to 50 million eggs.
  • If you see a longfin eel with dots on it it means that it is a Australian longfin eel.
  • Eels can swim backwards and forwards.

Global playdate time

On Friday we had a Global play day session. This is me and my friends in our hut that we had just built. After we had built our hut we went in side the hut and played family feud. We did not play family feud the proper way because there weren't enough of us but we played it our way. The way we played it was I read out a questions and Matilda and Sophie had to answer the Quinton and if they got the questions write I would give them the card and bit tend it was money. We had such a fun time it was very much like being at home. While we where playing the game the blankets all flew off so we all quickly got up and fixed them.When we fixed them we tied them to the tables this time so they couldn't fly off.

Hello I am Pollyanna and this is me in room 4 doing some balancing Now the reason I am doing this balancing is because Me and my class had just been to see some since in a van and the first thing they  did was balancing. At this time I was so proud of my self for using all the things in my pencil case to do this then I started thinking how cool it was the fact that since and a van tort  us how to do this amazing stuff. This is Emily doing this call trick where she gets three wine glasses with some water in them then gets a table mat and puts it on top of them. Then she got three tubes and put them on top of the table mat and then she put three eggs on top of the tubes. Then she counted down from three then hit the table mat and as it was going up the eggs landed in the wine glasses with out smashing it was amazing.

korfball

korfball Hello this is half of room 4 playing Korfball. I am in the team that has no bibs on. We had had 2 days of korfball already and this was the 3 day as well as the last day. My team won every single game except for 1. It is really hard to shoot a goal because the hoops are so high up, so the boys would usually shot the goals and us girls would get the ball close enough so they could shoot it into the hoop. Everyone enjoyed it so much it was so fun and the man the taught us on the last day was so funny. The man that was teaching us was really fashionable (according to him). He was wearing a blue benny on his head a orange jacket zipped up and white pants with black dots on them. The 1 game we lost was the last game we lost by getting 0 goals and the other team won with the score 7. the rules where... you can't move when you have the ball. you can't shoot if someone is guarding you...
