seahorse inquiry.

Around about two weeks ago my class and I went on a camp to Mistletoe bay, once we got back we had to do different activities. One of the activities we had to complete was re search about one of the creatures we saw on camp. I decided to do mine on a seahorse because we saw seahorses in the touch tank. What's a touch tank? A touch tank is a tank full of different creatures like crabs, starfish and sea cucumbers. I picked up starfish but I didn't like the feel of sea cucumbers so I ignored them. We weren't allowed to touch the seahorse because they get stressed very easily and if they get stressed they cant breed, which means they can't make more seahorse. 

                                   Here is my seahorse inquiry. (facts about the seahorse)  Have you ever seen a seahorse close up? Enjoy!

Dear future Bailee.


Hi! Today I'm 12 years old. My hobbies are : gymnastics, netball, painting, art, writing, maths and shopping.





My dislikes are meat, mar mite, jam, burnt toast and sour things.





My favourite thing to do at school is basic facts and my favourite thing to do out of school is shopping and going to the beach.





I really don’t like eating noodles but I could eat cracker chips every day of the week! My favourite song is Exchange by Bryston Tiller. Do you still like it ?


I hope that in the next year I learn to do a backhand spring properly.





In the next 5 years I want to have a good paying job.


Well it was nice talking to you! My final piece of advice to my future self is be nice to everyone and don’t put others down because you never know what might happen in life.





Love, Bailee.
