Great white sharks can be found throughout the world’s oceans, mostly in cool waters. These super swimmers are some of the largest fish on our planet. Some great whites have been measured at 6 metres – that’s half the length of a bus!

Great white sharks are grey with a white belly. That’s how they get their name. They have powerful tails that push them through the water at over 60km per hour! Any creature unlucky enough to find itself close to a great white is in for a shock because the shark’s mouth has 300 sharp, triangular teeth arranged in up to seven rows. 
While you may think of sharks as man-eaters, sharks do not eat humans. There are around 5-10 attacks a year, but researchers believe that  the sharks are just taking a “sample bite” out of curiosity, before swimming off.
 So what do they eat? When they’re young, they feed on small prey, such as fish and rays. When they’re older and bigger, they feast on sea mammals such as sea lions, seals and small whales. Great white sharks have such a strong sense of smell that they can detect a set of seals miles away. If there was only one drop of blood in 100 litres of water, a great white would smell it!

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Some people call this a ‘staycation’.  Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region.
