Sea Otters are my favourite animal. I like them cause they remind me of river otters. Otters help our ecosystem majorly. They eat Kelp, Sea urchins, small fish and other things. Without these creatures there would be mass emounts of Kelp and fish. Sadly Sea Otters are endangered of becoming exstinct due to oil spills and pollution. They used to be very endangered and only around 500 sea otters left. Lots of people wanted Sea otters soft fur. Thanks to lots of shoreline clean ups and less oil spills Sea otters population is getting higher but its still very low.

I think my grade 6 year went very well. I got a bit worried when I had to switch teachers but overall I felt Ms. Bains is an awesome teacher! The peers in my class were good as well. Overall I learned lots during grade 6. I look forward to grade 7. Somethings I struggled was math, it takes me a bit of time to figure it out. Another thing I need help with is staying on task. When people talk I tend to talk as well. 2. What was something that was very memorable? Some memorable moments I had was when I did my Science projects on space. I did Neptune. It was really fun.
