Snorkelling with the Green sea turtle
Hi there! It is me Kiarah, the explorer/scientist. The last time I talked to you was when I turned into a flying pig. That was crazy, but today we are going to talk about my amazing experience, while swimming with the green sea turtle! Now we shall start . . .
The sea was calm and the sun was shining, it was a perfect day for snorkelling! I wasn’t sure if I would see anything, but the experience would still be a blast. The waters here are overwhelmingly clear and can be a shock for most tourists. The islands of the Bahamas are beautiful and can be so much fun when you use your imagination. Anyway back to the story, I was walking down the beach with my wetsuit, snorkel and net in my hand (I would use this net for any rubbish or cool things I found).
I splashed into the water with ripples of water surrounding me. I made sure not to get any water into the breathing pipe of the snorkel, it wasn’t very hard. Diving into the water I felt a shiver go through my body, I quickly got over it though. A couple of minutes passed and all I had seen was Snappers (a type of fish) and some Jellyfish. It was quite disappointing, but I was up for another look.
It was starting to bore me, but then I saw something brown in the distance. I efficiently started to stroke my arms in hope that I would go faster. I got closer and then I started to see arms and legs, it wasn’t a fish nor a Jellyfish for sure! Swimming and swimming I could see the whole animal by now, it was beautiful, it was a turtle. Flapping up and down to float I then realised it was a Green sea turtle!
“Woooo!” I shouted with excitement in my voice. I was especially happy!

Green Sea Turtle
The Green sea Turtle isn't green, but because of its flesh it is called the Green Sea Turtle. This week we are learning all about sea creatures!

Dear...
Dear Nena (Nana/Hiva),
I miss you and your hot, delicious meals! I feel like I haven’t seen you in decades, but it has only been a couple of months. I miss the beautiful flowers and the big coconut trees. The water here is so blurry and you can’t see anything, I'm not very used to it.
If you are wondering why I am writing to you instead of just coming to your house, it is because I am now a soldier now! I wear a camo uniform, but most of the time it is covered in mud. I won’t be home for 1 and a half more years, don’t worry though because I will always write to you.
