Eeling dissection

The year 5 and 6's at Makaraka school were dissecting eels because they went to camp a few weeks ago and put out there eel traps hinake .

we all were learning and thinking really hard about what mr ray farmer said about  Eels .

what stood out the most to me was dissecting the Eels their were so many cool and interesting things that you could find and see .

I liked seeing all of them especially the cool spine it was hard and bumpy and it looked very od to me .

what I am still wondering about is how fast can the eel go.???

Eeling story

dissection sheep heart

Our class has been eeling on camp and with the eels that we court we
want to dissect them but before we do that we have to have some practices
so we practice on sheep hearts.

Our teacher mrs Hall showed us what she wanted us to look for in t
he hearts like muscle,veins,fat,connective tissue,sinew,valves,and the
blood clot .

My group found all of those and I think the other groups did as well .

When we were dissecting the sheep hearts  we sore three howls and decided to cut them open with the blade to explore more when we were doing that we found the mussel,fat,connective tissue,sinew,and valves .

We had to dig dip into the sheep heart find the blood clot but finally we

    Found it it was all dark and watery it looked so gross I would never want to see that again.

   

I think we all learnt heaps of cool things that we didn't now and some things we did no but I learnt heaps of cool staff And think I am ready for the eel dissecting.

            

Whangara school camp recount

Makaraka school in Gisborne has just been to Whangara on there Annual leadership camp. The senior year 5 and 6’s went on the 20th of Feb and returned on the 22nd. While they were there they did heaps of cool activities including kayaking!

After a walk over a hill they arrived at the Waiomoko river. They got into buddies of two  and rast each other down to the river. They hopped into the kayaks and started paddling. One group of the buddies raced each other up stream to a thick round log. When they got there they decided to purposely flip off and swim back to the river bank so that they knew what it would be like if they were out in the open ocean alone.

When they got back  from the race the saw their  principal with a snorkel and mask on his face and they asked him “what are you doing?” and he said “I lost my phone in the river when I was paddling, I flipped!”

He was swimming up and down the river but couldn't find it.

A student helped him look for his phone and after looking for a while  he said “I think I feel something under my foot” and he went under the water and when he got up … there it was!

They were all so sad as they left the waiomoko river as they were walking up the hill they thought back to that breathtaking moment  wow that was lucky .

A few moments later the teacher said look I can see the marae! they were all racing down the hill in excitement shouting yay!!!
