David Attenborough documentary coastal seas

Today we watched the our planet documentary, narrated by David Attenborough, called coastal seas. Here are some interesting facts we learnt:





90 percent of marine creatures live in coastal waters. This is because the sea floor is in reach of sunlight


The documentary we watched was filmed in the everglades national park, in Florida USA.


The lush meadows of the park support the marine life.


The giant trevally and sting ray are extremely good hunters


stingrays hunt for their prey that hide in seagrass


There is a lot of food for the sea creatures, and for humans in the coastals waters


The bottlenose dolphin has a special way of hunting shoals of mullet they create a circle around the fish and flick up the mud witch makes the water muky - the mullet then get confused and jump up in the air, making it easy for the dolphins to catch the mullet.


Coral reefs make up less then 1% of all the marine species that live in the ocean


Coral are missing an important member of the community - sharks


Shark numbers have been dramatically reduced due to overfishing.


Overfishing has reduced the shark population by 90%.

My fun Monday afternoon!

On Monday the 15th of July me, my Aunty , her friends and their nieces and nephews went to the Point England reserve. I enjoyed making new friends. We walked the new path way, it was too long that we had to walk half way plus we didn't know where it was taking us. We then stopped at the wooden table and chairs and took some photos of us while the sun was shining. After taking photos we travelled to the take-away shop by the Point England shops to get some hot food, like hot chips and then we were talking to each other while the hot food was getting cooked. Then it was ready so we went to the tables and shared with each other. Me and my Aunty shared our hot food and we were talking. After we ate, we said our goodbyes and went to the car and we went home. It was so fun I had to write about it, I love hanging out with my aunties friends because one of them is my teacher and she is really nice and pretty I like having nice teachers, that's why I like Miss Tuia.

Table Discussions

                     What I like about New Zealand is.

What I like about New Zealand is that I have a roof over my head and I have a bed and food that's better then any other countries. I love my family because they always protect me and themselves and they always help me when I'm stuck and heart there always help me, especially my Nana. When I was in hospital she stayed with me and my auntie and they would always get me food and stay with me at night and sleep on the bed next to me.

I will love to see the NSW team playing the State of Origin and see them win to QLD. Why I support NSW is because I love the color blue so I support NSW always, I never change my teams. Out of the NRL teams, my favorite team is dragons because they are the most coolest team I ever seen so far I think that they are going to come first in the NRL ladder. I wish they played all the time in New Zealand.

What else I like about New Zealand is that we have good resources in New Zealand and New Zealand is the only place I've been but I've been to Wellington last year. Then this year I might go Australia with my auntie and uncle and cousins.

Thats what I like about New Zealand.
