HIWI DA KIWI

Malo e lelei, my name is tevita and my story is gonna be about Hiwi the kiwi. Hiwi the Kiwi came to our school to teach us how we can be safe in the ocean and how we can catch fish the right way. They traveled around New Zealand,school to school helping students and teachers also parents how to fish and also how to be safe around the ocean.

One important information they talk about was to bring ice if you are going fishing. Bringing ice can help. It can help by freshening the fish after you have caught them. Also you can put some salt on the fish so you can have that feeling when you take a bite from the fish.

The number two important thing they talk about is to bring a towel if you are going out to fish. They said to bring a towel so you can pick the fish up without hurting it or without digging your fingernails thought their scales. Also make sure that the towel you bring is wet. Make sure that the towel is wet so you don’t take off it’s protective layer.

Another thing they talk about was fun and great for kids who are under 11 years old. They sang a song to us and we felt blessed and grateful to have them in our presents. They sang the song a few times then they told  the whole school to sing along. The song went something like this” kai moana food from the sea,kaimoana to feled your family, fish for the future and there will always be more kaimoana for you and me.”

There was another important information they talk about is to save our seabirds. Short name for save our seabirds is S.O.S. We need to protect our sea bird at all times. Also we need to watch out for people who throw rubbish out to sea and also the oceans. I’ll tell you what would happen if there were plastic and rubbish in the sea and ocean,There are sea bird and sea birds are almost extended from existence. If they see plastic and rubbish in the sea or ocean then they might think it is fish, so they would come down and pick up the rubbish or plastic and eat it. When they eat the rubbish or plastic the rubbish will block entrance that the food comes throw. That will kill the bird,also help people stop water pollution.

Another important thing they talk about was that if you catch a fish, check how long it is. If it’s too short then place the fish back into the sea so that they can grow so they can be a bit bigger. If they are bigger than the length of the average fish then place it back into the ocean or sea so they can lay eggs.
