=Tuna Woman=

Stephanie Bowman came to our class today, if your wondering who Stephanie Bowman is. She is an author of a book called Velvet and Elvis, which is about Velvet a eel making her journey to the nesting ground were she gives birth to Elvis. Stephanie hasn't just written book to make money but to save Longfin Eels and remind New Zealanders that Longfin Eels are like Kiwis, native to New Zealand, Endangered, and can't be found anywhere else but New Zealand. You might be thinking " oh there just Eels, who cares" but no if there not eels there native so you should care. She wants to visit as many schools as she can, and each school she goes to will sew a bit of an eel, when the eel is finished it should be long enough to wrap around the beehive.

Today my friends mum called Xandra came to our class to help make the piece of the eel. We started off by everyone getting into a group of two. Then each group made a sea creature to put on the eel.

=Kevin The Fireman=

On the 7/6/11 Kevin from the fire department to talk to Kauri syndicate about the fire department. Despite me only being there for 15 minutes I still learn't something. I learn't that fire department get 66,000 calls a year and only 22,000 of them are fire emergency's the rest are bio hazardous, animals, medical emergency's and search and rescue. If the South Wairarapa fire department is busy then the Hutt Valley fire services come over the hill and take charge while the South Wairarapa services take care of their business.
