New Spider found in Australia






New Spider found in Australia

March 10, 2016
brian spiderAustralia has discovered a new spider which can swim and eat prey up to three times its own size.The new spider has been named ‘Brian’, after a famous scientist called Professor Brian Greene.The spider can be found in Queensland and eats fish, frogs, tadpoles, and even big cane toads.Thankfully the spider isn’t dangerous to humans.A Brian spider catches its prey by sitting on the surface of water, and feeling vibrations caused by the creatures it wants to hunt.When it feels a vibration, it runs across the water to grab its prey.It then dives under the water with it, before swimming back to shore to eat it up. Wow that looks pretty scary I hope they don't put the spiders in new zealand. By Jacob Keating

Te Ao Marama

Te Ao Marama


Touching the wall when we went in to our new classroom.
The breeze going in to me from the air conditioner.
Waiting  on the mat  I couldn't wait for the food on the table.
Walking in when Te Ao Marama and Mr Harrop were walking in
Delicious food in my mouth.
When Mr Harrop unveiled Te Ao marama we went into the building We all gave three cheers to it.
