My science project was about long-finned eels. I wanted to do these eels because they are endangered. I smoked an eel as one of my activities. I thought my stand was cool because I had something different to the other kids. The long-finned eel travels a long way to reach their spawning grounds near Samoa and Tonga. Then they slowly make their way back down towards Aotearoa.
I live in one of the best places in Aotearoa. It's 'Tahaaroa'. We do things every day that no city kid can do. I like to go hunting ride my motorbike, ride horses, go swimming down at the beach. I am allowed to go fishing by myself and do lots of other wacky fun stuff. Tahaaroa is a cool place for me because my mum is tuturu born and bred.A Tahaaroa girl. My dad is cool and loves to hunt. I like it in Tahaaroa because I don't have to live by city rules and I can do things other people can't.
