On Wednesday the 27th of September 2017 Pt England school went out floundering.We went down past Riki Rd on the grass watching above the students as they fish for baby flounder.Flounder are flatfish and they are yum but that's not why we are catching them.We are catching them and then letting them go when they are bigger.
We were trying to catch at least 5 baby flounder but we caught over 20.The students that are fishing are catching the flounder with nets and it worked better than I expected.We were trying to catch at least 5 flounder so we could beat Kauri flats school.The whole school sang a waiata for safe fishing and so we can catch flounder.Then we did our school karakia: To the prevailing winds which ascend from afar.Towards a coastal tide carry with you our inner thoughts imprint them among the heavens. As a guiding constellation for the tasks ahead, to strengthen my journey each day each day amen.
Then we went back to school.
