The Minstrel came to school and sang and told us stories about how to look after our sea life so there will be fish for tomorrow.
He left a fishing rod as a prize for the best fishing story.
Below are the 2 stories chosen from Room 6 to go into the competition.
One day, under the sea, lived an octopus, a puffer fish and a sea butterfly. One day puffer fish found a hook. She was terrified. She hurried to the Guardian of the Sea. It was an octopus.
He said, “What is the matter?”
“People are taking all the fish.”
Octopus was furious. He loved his kingdom. He found Sea Butterfly.
Sea Butterfly said, “Let’s get them!”
So they swam to the other side and found them. With a swish of a tentacle the boats were gone.
“Well done, Octopus. You saved us.”
And they lived happily ever after.

One day I went fishing with my Dad. When my Dad caught a fish and it was too big I said, “Put it back in the water. That fish might be a mama fish and it might have eggs. You have to put it back.”
Then Dad caught a little fish. “It is too little.” I told him to put it back so it could grow.
I caught a right size fish and I ate it when we got home.
