Room 4 has recently been studying endangered animals, we studied Longfin Eels as a class. Down the road from school is where the Hustlers live, in their river live some long fin eels, so we decided to visit them.
We knew from our learning the the eels love smelly meat so we fed them some stenchy venison. It took a while at first and we thought the water was too murky and fast flowing.
But then a huge one appeared and we knew that they were lurking beneath the river bed. Some of us fed them out of our hands, on sticks, we even made lines out of harakeke. Soon we were pulling eels up, studying them and even patting them. The eels were huge. When we got back to school, we created poems based on the Eel encounter. Here is one of my poems...
He Waits
Beneath the brisk, murky, waters, he waits.
A dark shadow, glides across the river bed.
Stenchy venison drops.
He waits.
Suddenly, a dorsal fin breaks the tranquil waters.
The blood covered bait vanishes,
so does he.
