Orcas

 Kia Ora Everybody,

Yesterday was our first day back at school. That means that we had a relaxing day simply easing back into our school work. For our first activity of the day we all drew a orca. After we drew the orca we wrote down all the facts that came in the video as well. I think that this is a good oppurtunity to learn something new about our sea animals. Did you know that back in South Africa orcas are called Killer Whales. Let me know what you think. Kind Regards Leandri
