Today in EFS we learned all about a special & very unique cephalopod - WHEKE! (OCTOPUS!)
Wheke are very interesting. They have:
E waru nga weri - eight tentacles
E toru nga manawa - three hearts
E iwa nga roro - nine brains!
Wheke also has an important holistic Maori health model, where all parts represent an interconnectedness and interdependent relationship between all aspects of health.

We drew octopus and wrote some interesting facts, such as:
Octopus have blue blood
Octopus can play with other animals
They can camouflage
They have no bones
Guerilla Art
We wanted to send important messages to each other and the adults about keeping our school litter-free and protecting the Hauraki Gulf.
We designed and made some guerilla art on the pavements!
Have you seen our special sidewalk art to inform others about looking after our Hauraki Gulf?
Next week it's all about misunderstood sharks.
