Morena Room 12
In Māori the word for eel is tuna and today I want to show you the tuna that lives in our gully.
I used to be a little bit scared of tuna but when I was on my science programme last year I learnt about how important they are to Māori and how they can be used to find out how healthy our waterways are! This is really interesting and I hope we can talk about it soon,
Have a great day Room 12 learners!

Wow! Thats so cool Edie! Have you tried giving him bits of meat scraps? My great-grandmother has eels in her gully at her old folks home and we sometimes go down and feed them. we don't have names for them, but it's still fun. Is that at Seeley Gully?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise there were eels there.

Thanks Rohan, yes we give him meat scraps and also the skin from fish. It's a really fun thing to do. Maybe I'll try and find the other eels and introduce them too. No it's not Seeley's gully, it's a gully by my house in Silverdale. I wonder if there are eels in Seeley's gully, perhaps we could go for a walk there when we are all back in school.
ReplyDeleteThank you Edie.
