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.

Hi Room 6. Maggie's mother has sent me the connection to your school blog site, so now I will be able to see all the exciting things you do at school. I did enjoy reading the Sea stories. I was so proud to see that your story was chosen Maggie - well done.

Hi Room 6
What a fabulous class web page you have ... and what wonderful writing!!
Matthew - I learnt lots about fishing reading your story - especially how important it is to make sure we take the right size fish.
Maggie ... I really like the way you have tried to make your writing interesting with such descriptive phrases as "Octopus was FURIOUS" and "SWISH of a tentacle". What a great word choice ... it really helps paint a picture in my head as I read your story.
Great work!! I enjoyed my visit ...

Hi Room 6
I loved reading your stories on saving fish and think it is really important or our grandchildren wont have fish to eat.
What awesome sea creatures the octopus, puffer fish and sea butterfly are.
We need to teach the men in the fishing boats who drag big nets to just catch the big fish, and not to catch all the little fish too.
