  1. Wow Charlie and Dan, more great work from you two, awesome! I really enjoyed reading about Reef Stars and Cats Eye Snails - very interesting and I learnt so many things!! Who knew that reef stars can change gender and also split themselves in half to grow new starfish?!!! And that the main threat to cats eye snails were in fact starfish! Keep up the great work boys, well done!

    Well done for writing your information report on the cats eye snail. I liked how you worked independently on this and that you followed the correct structure. Next time you could make sure you explain things like what a gastropod is so that your readers will know. I was really impressed with the way you worked with Daniel to share your learning to the school. All the teachers commented on how well you both presented your work. This shows great leadership and maturity. I was very proud of you both for doing this. Well done! Ka mau te wehi!
