We have looked at newspaper articles, watched video clips and talked about the Rena disaster.
Here are some of our thoughts
The Rena tipped over sideways and got stuck on the reef. It spewed some oil over by the Mount. I feel sad because some of the penguins died. Jess
The Rena ship got stuck by the Mount. The oil leaked out of the boat. Lots of people helped clean the oil up. Journey
The Rena fell sideways onto the reef. The Rena spilt oil on the beach and some penguins got covered in oil. Some big boxes fell off the Rena. I feel sad because it was very sad. Neva
The Wildlife Rescue Centre helps the animals that are covered in oil. First they use canola oil to take the other oil off. Then they go under a nice warm lamp to dry. After that they go into a swimming pool to have a swim. Lucy
