  1. Hello Katelynn,
    It's Millah here, I saw you were doing the SLJ so I thought I could see how you are doing.
    I really like how you have presented this task. My favourite part was how you said the fact and above it told us if it was a true or false.
    I can't wait to do this task.
    What is your favourite fact about fish???

    Good luck for the rest of the SLJ!!!!!

    1. Hay Millah!

      My favourite fact was the fact - Sharks are the only fish that have eyelides!

      Good luck to you too Millah!

  2. Hi Katelynn,

    It's great to see that you have attributed your images, fantastic work! I love the way you have set out your work and like the fact that you have also included a turtle friend! If you could name the fish and turtle from your post, what would you call them?

    Some of these facts are pretty fascinating, don't you think? They're almost too hard to believe... You're right for the first fact, the oldest aquarium fish in the world was indeed an Australian lungfish. His name was Granddad (I can tell why) and he actually lived until the old age of 95! It's so weird that sharks have eyelids. Speaking of eyelids, I've got another fact for you that's true: Did you know that camels have three eyelids? THREE! I think that's insanely crazy! It's pretty funny that starfish aren't actually fish since they have the word "fish" in their name.

    Keep it up,
    Evelyn :)

      Thank you for commenting on my blog and giving me some advice!

      If I could name the fish and turtle I would name them Mac for the fish and Jack for the fish. These facts are quite fascinating. It is quite weird that starfish aren't fish even though they have the word fish in there name!

      Camels have 3 eyelids that sounds CRAZY! Have you ever seen a camel in real life? I haven't!

    2. Hey Katelynn,

      I think Mac and Jack are awesome names! Speaking of fish names, I actually have two fish at home. One's a betta fish (they look really cool) and the other is a small bristlenose catfish (he looks a bit weird). My betta fish is blue so I named him after the god of the sea, Poseidon. The other one is a little spotted and spends most of his time at the bottom of my tank so I named him Pebbles. Pebbles and Poseidon don't like each other too much so they just do their own thing. Do you have any pets? I read that you have had 9 pets? That's impressive!

      I have only seen one camel in my life before and that was at a zoo in another country. I'm not sure if we have camels in New Zealand zoos.

      Best,
      Evelyn :)

      I have had 9 pets but now I have 3! A dog named Echo, a cat named Boots and a bunny named Bugs the bunny but we call him Bugs or Bugsy for short! We did have a possum named Poppy, 2 pigs named Porky and Rusty, we did have 3 bunny's named Oreo and Snow but they ran away we had another dog named Gypsy at our old house but unfortunately she passed away in 2015.

      Pebbles and Poseidon are quite cool and crafty names!
