For this Summer Learning Journey activity, I was challenged to make a ugly, deep sea creature. But before I started, I went onto the links provided on the activity to get inspiration and ideas. As well as going on the internet for ideas. Then, I started making my creature. First, I decided that it will be an anglerfish but with other sea creature’s physical features. Such as, the arms of an Octopus, the nose of a long nose sawshark, and patterns. Then, as a final touch, I added a flashlight.
My deep sea creature is called fumples. They deal with the darkness in the deep with their little light hanging from their head. They prefer being alone, so it isn’t much of a problem since there isn’t many sea creatures in the deep sea.
I found this activity interesting because I got to make my own deep sea creature, as well as how they can survive with the loneliness, and darkness.

Kia ora Folose,
It’s Charlotte again, a blog commenter for the Summer Learning Journey. Awesome work on your effort on your The Big Deep activity!
Wow! Did you draw this? It is amazing, you are very talented! I like how you combined a few different fish to create an ‘ugly’ fish hybrid. Since angler fish live very deep down in the ocean, I have never seen one in real life before but I would like to! What is the coolest animal you have ever seen?
The ocean is such a wonderful and interesting place! Did you know that parts of the ocean haven’t even been explored by humans yet? Isn’t that amazing? I wonder what kind of animals might live in those areas? What do you think?

Talofa lava, Folose!
It’s me, Leata, again from Pt England School.
Wow, your deep sea creature, Fumples, looks so creative and unique! I love how you combined different features like the arms of an octopus and the nose of a sawshark—it really shows your imagination. The flashlight is such a cool and practical detail for a deep-sea creature, and it must look amazing!
Your description is super clear, but one small suggestion for next time: you could add a bit more about how you designed the patterns or what inspired their personality (like being alone). That would make the story of Fumples even more interesting!
Great job on this activity—keep up the awesome work! 😊

Hi Folose
i am from wigram primary school in Christchurch, and I am I year 6, I will be telling you what was positive and something that can be helpful also I am going to ask a question, so the positive thing was that I liked how you added so much discription about what you were doing and how you make it, but maybe next time you can add more detail to your fish but the question is that how do you get the document
