KP could not believe how big the Blue Whale is! It's the largest animal on land or sea in the world, its heart alone is the size of a small car. Wow! Whale was KP's 'word of the day' and they also completed an information report about the Blue Whale in L3 groups this morning.
KP really enjoyed this YouTube about the Blue Whale this morning.
We also found this clip about the Humpback Whale fascinating.

You may have seen story this back on WIN News in June 2016 or in the 2515 local magazine. It's about a family that found a shark egg on the beach and after 87 days they successfully released the baby Crested Port Jackson shark back into the sea. KP have enjoyed learning about sharks and found this clip fascinating today. They were amazed to see the baby shark moving around inside its egg. KP wanted this on our blog to watch it again at home and show you in case you hadn't seen it.
We have been looking at some recent real-life clips about different sea creatures and KP found this little sea creature quite adorable. It has googly eyes just like we use on many of our art works and that's why it didn't look quite real. But it is! It was discovered by a research vessel exploring the ocean floor off the California coast on the 12/8/16. KP wanted it on our blog to show you at home.
KP loved learning about the special seahorse today. Seahorse was their 'word of the day' and they also completed an information report about the seahorse in L3 groups this morning.
KP really enjoyed this funny Youtube about the seahorse this morning.
KP finished off today by watching this great video of seahorses swimming, hanging on and hiding in a tank. We thought they looked so cute!
Well . . . almost! We used the Quiver iPad app to bring our brightly coloured fish and scary sharks to life. It's a fantastic augmented reality app and when we first used it a couple of weeks ago we couldn't believe our eyes when our sea animals came to life. We showed our parents and grandparents how to use the app yesterday during 'Open Classrooms'. Here we are together with our fish and sharks swimming about. What do you think?
KP loved learning about sharks today - this may be their favourite sea creature so far! Here are some shark facts.
KP loved this description of a shark in this video - silently stalking in the deep, blue ocean comes a sleek and scary shark!
KP are enjoying learning about lots of different sea creatures this term. This is what we have learnt about fish so far.
We wanted this on our blog so we could watch it again at home!
