My speech 2021 - Te Wheke. Reo
Attention grabber
Good morning.
Do you know how many babies an Octopus can have at one time?
Would you believe between 20,000 [twenty thousand] and 100,000
[one hundred thousand]! Oh my gosh!
Introduction
The Wheke also known as the Octopus is an amazing sea animal. It has so many
special
features I will tell a few things about the Wheke I found interesting,
The Octopus is a super fast swimmer. Octopus have a beak and not a mouth
to eat with. Their beak is on the octopus's bottom.
Octopus like to eat crabs, clams, snails, small fishes, and even other octopuses.
Body of speech.
I think the Octopus is awesome because they have eight slimy tentacles with lots
of sucker’s and use their tentacles to swim.
The octopus has venom in its beak just like a snake. They spit it at their tasty food
so they can't get away.
When the octopus gets scared it spits ink. The Octopus uses the ink to blind the predator to get away and not get eaten.
The giant pacific octopus has three hearts, nine brains and blue blood. Now that is
amazing.
Lastly we have the wheke on our school pou because it represents the wheke
that swims in the moana on the east coast which is the guardian of the
Maunga Puwheke.
Conclusion.
The information I have found out about the Octopus is why I think it is amazing.
Thank you for listening to my speech.
