Miss Cowan has been teaching us about the colossal squid! We watched this video clip, be warned it is pretty gross...
We wrote some great colossal squid adventures and Miss Cowan wrote us a poem...
There once lived a colossal squid named Benny
He wasn’t scary, in fact he was quite friendly
He lived down in the ocean deep
This was where he liked to sleep
He hunted with his light bulb eyes
He ate fish rather than pies
He had eight arms for which he used to hug his Mum
His funnel propelled him and was also his bum
His brain was donut shaped with a hole in the middle
When he had a bite of food it had to be little
This was because his throat went through his brain
Sometime he thought that was a bit of a pain
He used his black beak to tear up dinner
He thought his tentacles were a real winner
He used them to swipe and grab his food
He always swum around in the nude
He had to hide from hungry sperm whales
If they tried to eat him he’d attack their tales
He had some friends named Trudy and Jake
They were both a type of snake
His feeling were hurt when people thought wrongly
That he was a giant squid whom he disliked strongly
People would say he was a bad guy
For attacking ships, this was a lie
But life to Benny was pretty super
For he was a real trooper
He loved him Mum and Dad forever
And to him they were more precious than treasure
So when you meet a colossal squid as lovely as this
Don’t ignore him for you will miss
The chance to make a wonderful new friend
And he’ll stick with you till the end.
(Don’t worry about it too much he shouldn’t live longer than three years)
We made a big book with all our wonderful stories and pictures in them and would love you to come and read it in our room
If you want to find out more about the squid or make your own this is the website to visit...
