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.
