On the 4th of April Blaketown school (excluding the little class) went to a semi-duffy show thing. For the duffy show a lady called Diana Queenin came and showed us some stuff that she’s collected while travelling around the world.

She showed us the stinger off of a stingray, which is exactly the size of a tyrannosaurus rex tooth and has barbs on it which helps keep its prey on the stinger, although stingrays are harmless to a human unless you annoy it (in the wild). Also only in New Zealand orcas feast on stingray, which is something she taught us.

Another thing she showed us were geodes which are crystal rocks. She showed us a fake amethyst rock, which is quartz dyed purple and she showed us quartz, which can be found in rocks, which is quite interesting.

She showed us fossils found in rocks like trilobite fossils and stuff like that, that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Other things she showed us was copperite, which is dinosaur poo,  horseshoe crabs shell, which is the closest relative to a trilobite that’s alive, and she taught us how snakes kill you, as well as having a snake skin to show us, so she had quite a pile of weird, interesting stuff.
