A Whale Shark

Hi Room 12 - this is a whale shark and it was sighted near Perth.  The whale sharks do not usually come down to the Perth area.  But some people think because of global warming the sea is getting warmer and the fish are coming here where it is cooler so the bigger fish like this whale shark come too.  Whale sharks are one of the largest fish and are known to be docile.  They eat plankton.

I went to Freemantle today.  It is near Perth and on the ocean.  Big ships bring items to Perth and Perth sends its products to other countries.  I wonder if any of the ships have grain from the prairies.

I also went a wildlife reserve, like a zoo but the animals are allowed to be free so you walk around and can touch them.

Hello from Australia!

Hello Room 12,

I am finally in Perth Australia.  I had to take three airplanes to get here and it took 25 hours altogether.  A day at school and sleeping at night then waking to get up to go to school, that is how long it took for me to get here.  I went to the ocean and beach today.  I think it was called Scarborough beach, Ms Dryburgh will know if I have spelt incorrectly.  I had to post a photo of Mr Beaver and Ms Moose enjoying the sunshine on the beach.  Happy New Year!!
