report on marine animals

WALT: learn more about these endangered creatures living... under the sea!

snappers are salt water fish. They are yummy to eat in many ways like raw, fried and cooked, especially beer battered. Yummy! But not really  Anyway hope you enjoy my amazing and interacting report!

HABITAT

The most common place where you would find a snapper is the North Island of New Zealand. There are some in Matai Bay and Goat island to swim free wherever they want because they are protected. Some other species of snapper are also found in different countries for example Mexico.


POPULATION
The snappers are decreasing from the level of people catching them. There are now a limit on how much fish, including snapper you are allowed to catch for your whanau. The limit for snapper to catch  for your whanau is nine or seven. And it has to be exactly 30 cm or more If there smaller then they might still be babies. 



BREEDING
Red snapper can lay over 75 million eggs in each breeding season which is from june the 11th to july the 12th And a  small red snapper can lay over 7 million eggs in there  breeding season which is the same as the normal red snapper   



PREDATORS
Snapper are hunted by sharks, predatory fish such as barracuda, mackerel, king fish, grouper, and of course humans. Humans are the worst predators for snapper. They usually get caught by humans mainly. Some humans get way way too much  snappers which leaves a little bit for the next person who wants to have the right amount of snapper for their whanau but instead they get about one or two. Please stay  by the limit. Sharing is caring


DIET
Snappers usually eat sea worms  sea eggs squid , shrimp, octopus invertebrates and even land animals! 


IN CONCLUSION
In conclusion i think snappers are an amazing and pretty unique kind of fish. Thank you for reading my awesome and amazing report!

Technique: The side stroke. How to do it: Side stroke is really easy once you get to know it. First what you need to do is put one hand on your ear and one hand out. Now your legs. What you need to do with your legs are doing scissor kick. It’s like doing the high jump kick. And that’s how to do side stroke. Charlize

REFLECTION: it was hard to write and hard to do it, but once you get used to it you get the hang of it.

Speed boats

Yay we're in group one I wonder what we're going to do first? I’m guessing the actual tour but then… they directed : can group one come over to put your safety gear on. “ I wonder what we're doing?” They told us that we are going on the boats I thought to myself “ why do they have to be yellow ? and super slow!” but then… it was a speed boat! I was astonished. When I got on the boat we drifted off, it felt like a racing car speeding across the water. When we did sharp turns it was outstanding! I loved it. We did a couple of donuts. Then we had to go back up so we pulled against the current and flew up to get back on the boat that was the enjoyable experience of my life!    

WALT we are learning to design and create  a hydroponics system.

What was your favourite part?
My favourite part was using the hot glue guns and gluing the popsicle sticks  onto each other. It was easy, fun and it turned out pretty cool.

What could I have done differently
I could of done the pallets cups and my design differently so my design would look different than everybody else’s.

 What I found difficult?
I found burning myself and gluing the popsicle sticks onto each other difficult because i would either burn myself or I would of glued my popsicle sticks in the wrong position.

 What could I have done better?
I could of straightened my pallet and my cups because when I was finished, the pallet and the cups looked crooked, so I straighten it up by moving it into the right position

What design would you do?

WALT: We are learning to write scary stories.

Bloody Mary

Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was the twins birthday . But not just any twins, they were princesses and they had a little sister. She was the cutest girl you could ever imagine. But … the twins hated her. So they tricked her. this is what the twins said “Sis you should go in the bathroom and play a game with. Umm Mary! All you have to do is say Bloody Mary 3 times in the mirror. Then you can have a friend.” The poor little sister slowly walked into the bathroom… but the twins said “she will be fine Bloody Mary is fake.” all of a sudden they heard a scream. “AHHHH!” The twins rushed into the bathroom but there was nothing to be seen except the cute little girl lying in the bath full of red Fanta.
