Octopus

Dietary: The good: This food is low in Saturated
Fat. It is also a good source of Niacin, Vitamin
B6, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc, and a
very good source of Protein, Vitamin B12, Iron,
Copper and Selenium.

Habitat: The most common area of the ocean for
them to reside happens to be along the coral
reefs and the ocean floor. They create dens
where they live and can be undetected in the
water. They will also find small crevices and hide
under rocks.
Life span: Up to 3 years - 5 years.


Appearance:  octopus would be unique for its
appearance alone, with its massive bulbous
head, large eyes, and eight distinctive arms.
But by far the most striking characteristic of
the octopus is the wide array of techniques
it uses to avoid its attacker.
Characteristics:
Octopuses are ocean creatures that are most
famous for having eight arms and bulbous
heads. Some other fun facts: They have three
hearts and blue blood. they squirt ink to hide
from their predators. and because octopus is
boneless, they can squeeze into (or out of) tight
spaces. 

Size:  A pacific giant octopus highs 15 kgs 


Locomotion: Octopuses mainly move about by relatively slow crawling, with some swimming in a head-first position. Jet propulsion, or backwards swimming, is their fastest means of locomotion, followed by swimming and crawling. ... Most octopuses swim by expelling a jet of water from the mantle through the siphon into the sea.


Sensing: The arms of the Octopus have 
suction cups on them that are very tiny. In 
them are highly sensitive feelers that allow them to touch their environment and to feel sensations from it. The sense of touch they develop from these feelers is amazing.

(swoosh) it splashes into the underwater aquarium. You could see
stingrays and different types of fish and sea creatures.

Wonder Writing about pollution.

In this dump, it is the worst thing that ever happened to this world. It is ...  pollution! Pollution that is spreading and now people are making it even worse by throwing their rubbish in our oceans, rivers and around the world.

If we don't stop our world, it will start to rot and will no longer live any longer. Why we need to stop is because we need to make a better future for our future children so that they can live a joyful life that we didn’t have. 

And people are going and recycling and doing a good job but the dirtiest job they had to touch kaka, rotten food, diapers and lots of disgusting things. But the worst was a pair of underwear that had a whole polluted world in there with its disgusting brother called the SOCK. It stands for SMELLY.OLD.CRAZY.KAKA.

Capital E's Production.

This morning year 5’s-8’s at 9.00 went to a production in the hall to see capital E from all the way from Wellington to perform for Pt England School. Capital E stands for Education Entertainment and Capital for Capital City Wellington. They did acts dances and even a song made by primary school children. It was called Eat Yo Face it was quite funny but not to the point it was hilarious and my favourite. But they did one thing that was really representative to New Zealand because she did a beautiful pepeha for us to hear. Her name was Nina she is half dutch and half moari. One other performance was that they did a ASMR, they used objects that made certain sounds that sounded like the actual object. ASMR is a thing when they have objects to make sound effects without using a drum pad and other devices and that part was by sepe he is Samoan. My favourite was when they introduced themselves to Pt England School. The part was when the DJ was introduced by another female called Hannah. When the DJ was introduced he flipped out and hid himself.

report about a Polly-Keet.

Polly-keet: Polly-Keets are little in-scents. They are often called a sea worm ,they have a jaw and a mouth and legs and a tentecals that senses things that are near them. Most species have been found in the ocean, but they exist in estuaries, lakes, and rivers too. They are incredibly diverse and often comprise over 50% of the animal species found in any sea bottom sample.  It's not unusual to find more than 20 000 polychaetes living in a square metre of sand. 
They contribute a huge amount of food to important seafood species like flatfish, skates, really just about any demersal or benthic larval fish (fish living on or near the seabed). All that is only a tiny fraction of their job recycling nutrients between the sea floor and the water column.  They constantly rework the sea bottom and stabilise sediments with their tubes. Some worms tubes are dense enough to form reefs which can shelter many other animals and even offer protection from hurricanes.
