Okey dokey and now onto Part 2:

Here's the second 1/2 of Group 2

Lucky number 1 today was Payton.
Payton told us about a place called Kakanui where she loves to go and stay at her grandparents holiday home.  It is on the East Coast which means it is by the sea.  Payton showed us a special round rock  from All Day Bay which is smooth and has lots of little rocks and bits in it - it is a conglomerate.
All Day Bay

Second up today was Quinn.
Quinn spoke about a famous person in our area who is very special to him and his family - his grandad,  Brian (Snow) Quinn.  He was a champion shearer who won the World Cup in Shearing 36 years ago.  He got to travel to many countries and show them how to shear a sheep.  He was so good he even got a special medal from the Queen called a M.B.E.

And our third speaker today was Jack.
Jack gave us a book review of a non-fiction text called "Creepy Crawlies."  Jack likes learning about creepy crawlies especially spiders and scorpions.  He told us that the biggest Red Kneed Tarantulas can be 30cm across or as big as a dinner plate!  Eeek!!!

Great work Group 2 people, you all did an awesome job and in less time than usual too.
