Protection of the Eel and Velvet the Eel

This afternoon is the assembly, run by Kea 1 all about the protection of the Longfin Eel.


This long eel, named 'Velvet', is about 36 meters long and made from fabric. Each part of the eel has been made by students from a different school. Here are some parts of the eel:

This is only 11 of the 36 parts of this long, LONG, Longfin eel!

 Go on this website to help save the long fin eel.

There was also a fish, the native kokopu on display in the hall. It had plastic plates and lids stuck on it with words children wrote about what they learnt and what we can do to protect native New Zealand fish and the long fin eel.

This assembly has taught everyone more about how to protect the long fin eel and stop pollution in streams and lakes.
