We learnt about MRS GREN. Mrs Gren is NOT a person... it is an mneumonic (that means letters or words that help us remember something). MRSGREN helps us remember seven characteristics of living things):
We learnt that all living things:
- Move
- Respire (that means breathe)
- Sense the world (like through sight, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling)
- Grow
- Reproduce themselvse
- Excrete (get rid of waste materials from your body...)
- Need nutrition
We created a fact file to show these characteristics in interesting sea Animals:
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteI really like your Sea Science blog post and I thought that it was really cool that you shared all about living things. I have never seen that type of art that you just did and it was cool that you put writing in them because people can learn stuff about Sea Science. How long did it take to do this and do you all like it?
From Angel-Mey at Yaldhurst Model School :)
Thank you Angel-Mey for your comment!
DeleteIt took us about 2 weeks to finish because we gathered facts first in a tic-tac-toe graphic-organiser. From Nelly-Rae
Kia ora I'm Casey from Yaldhurst Model School. I love the giant squid and the dolphin was awesome too! I also love the life cycle of the squid! This post reminded me of my old school and when my old class and I all did independent inquiry. My inquiry was about angler fish in year one, in year two my inquiry was about otters. What is your favourite animal from the sea? Sincerely Casey
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Casey. My favourite sea animal is a Megalodon. They're extinct now. Luke
DeleteWassup Luke? Thanks for replying to my comment. My favorite animal is also the Megalodon, I'm thinking about studying the Dunkleosteus! if you were a scientist what would you study? Bye 'till our next chat, Luke. Sincerely Casey

How did you guys not go out of the line’s? From Kane
Hi Kane,
DeleteIt was hard work but mostly fun. Our teacher told us 'never give up' - keep working to make it great. From Nelly-Rae and Rohario-May
Hello kotare whanau, it is really cool that you have been learning about sea animals in science! It is great that you know respire means breathe. What do you know about dolphins? From Alex:)
ReplyDeleteHi Alexandra, thanks for your comment.
DeleteI learnt their are 4 scientific names for dolphin. One is delphinidae - Kaley
I learnt they can stay underwater for about an hour but then they have to go up for air. - Nelly-Rae
I learnt they live for a long time (about 45 years) - Maya
Tena koutou Kotare Whanau @ Kaingaroa school. I liked the giant squid because it was enormous. Where did the squid live? From Connor.
ReplyDeleteHi Connor, thanks for your comments. I had to ask Luke (it was his fact file). He told me they live in the dark trenches of the ocean. - Gabe
DeleteTena koutou. I liked your sea drawing because it was colorful. I think your drawing is great work because you added lots of detail. Maybe you can add some words in your drawing. What drawing was your favourite? From Sahil :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sahil, thanks for your comments. I enjoyed drawing the life cycle. I like the drawing bit not so much the writing bit. It was funny because it goes from being a baby, to an adult, to a flat pancake! - From Luke
ReplyDeleteAmazing drawing . Keep up the work
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Buddy Class,
ReplyDeleteWe hope you are having a Happy Monday! Room 7 really liked your amazing, giant sea squid and grey Dolphin coloured pictures. We admired your creative sea creature images and are keen to draw some of our own. Last term we made individual 'Rainbow Fish' pastel drawings - which were bright and imaginative.
Moe - would like to know if your art session was fun?
Spencer - wondered what have you discovered about giant squid and dolphins? Also did you learn about any other sea creatures?
Wishing you a great week.
Take care, Room 7
I like you sea animals because i like dolphins. I wonder what well we do about sea creatures. from Ahasi.
ReplyDeleteKeep up your great work.
