IN FLIGHT MAGAZINE May 2019 IN FLIGHT MAGAZINE May 2019 ROYAL OAK INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Together empowering confident, motivated learners to achieve success in all walks of life. 1 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Kia ora Royal Oak families, NZEI Industrial Action This week we have been formally notified by the NZEI (the Primary Teachers’ Union) of their intention to strike on 29 May. Unfortunately, this means we have no choice other than to close the school. We realise this is inconvenient for families, and apologise for any difficulty caused. The primary teachers’ collective agreement has been expired for almost a year, and in spite of ongoing negotiations between the Ministry of Education and the NZEI they have been unable to reach a new agreement. The Ministry has publicly stated that their offer is fair and costs a lot of money. The union’s response is that the 3% annual pay rise on offer is insufficient to address the growing crisis in teacher numbers by attracting new people into the profession. We will keep you informed of progress as we learn more. School Tours & Open night On 30 May we are holding School Tours between 10 – 11am and an Open Night from 5:30pm, including presentations and tours of the school for families interested in coming to Royal Oak in 2020. Please feel free to share this information. School leaders and student leaders are visiting our contributing primary schools with this information. There will be another Open Night in early Term 3. Pink Shirt Day Last Friday the school took part in Pink Shirt Day to raise awareness of the issues surrounding bullying, and to promote the values of acceptance and kindness. The events were well supported by the students, and I would like to thank Mrs Loggie and her team for driving this initiative. Travel wise Royal Oak Intermediate is a Travel Wise school. On Friday May 10 we had a special assembly, organised by Mrs Kumar and the Travelwise Student Leaders. At the assembly we were addressed by representatives from Auckland Transport and the New Zealand Police. They spoke to the students about travelling safely, and using different methods of transport like walking, cycling and using public transport. The Travelwise team has also run a publicity campaign where they held signs around the school, encouraging motorists to drive safely around the school. We are very grateful for all of their hard work. Board of Trustees Election Nominations close this week for the upcoming Board of Trustees elections. We encourage family members with voting rights who are considering standing to get their nomination in as quickly as possible to the returning officer.

A presentation will be held in our school library and you can hear about the enrolment process; hear from our students and staff as ask questions that you want answered. This will be followed by an opportunity to mix and mingle with our staff and student leaders/prefects. We will have a variety of performances detailing many of the activities which take place in our school. Supper will be served during the evening. We look forward to seeing you there!

We had a wonderful time and are very grateful to the many parents who accompanied us. 5 The Dumbo Octopus Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca- a type of invertebrate. Class: Cephalopoda - it has legs attached to the head (in this case, fins) Order: Octopoda - eight-limbed Family: Umbrella Octopus -its tentacles have flaps of skin in between so when they’re outstretched it looks like an umbrella. Genus: Grimpoteuthis - umbrella octopus which lives in open waters Species: Grimpoteuthis Description and Behaviour: The rare Dumbo Octopus gets its name from the Disney cartoon character, Dumbo. It’s called the Dumbo Octopus because of the fins on its head that look like Dumbo’s big ears. It uses the fins to move around and change direction. The Dumbo Octopus can be found in many different colours such as orange, pink, brown, red and white. It has a large head, protruding eyes and a little trunk. Although it has large eyes, as it lives in deep ocean waters, it cannot see much. Instead, it feels its surroundings through the suckers on its tentacles. The Dumbo Octopus is a species of Umbrella Octopus, so its tentacles look like an umbrella when they are at full length. It can grow to around five feet in length, though most are about 20cm tall. The Dumbo Octopus can expand its webbed arms to float and it is able to swallow and shoot water through its funnel/trunk to make a fast escape. Like other deep-sea octopuses, it doesn’t have an ink sack so it cannot produce ink. It wouldn’t serve any purpose in the dark. The Dumbo octopus has cirri on its suckers, which help it to sense the environment and find food. It swallows its prey whole and it feeds on small crustaceans and worms from the ocean floor. It usually spends most of its time camouflaged (it can flush or change colour slightly to match its surroundings) on the rocks or when floating aimlessly in the water. Habitat: The Dumbo Octopus lives on the seafloor, about 4,000 metres below the surface where it is dark. It is found in various world oceans, but is extremely rare. Breeding: The Dumbo Octopus has a short lifespan (about three to five years if it’s lucky) down in the depths of the sea, mostly because it has many predators such as Sharks, Killer Whales, Tuna and predatory Cephalopods. That is why, when a Dumbo Octopus is mating, it can lay eggs any time it wants. In conclusion, the Dumbo Octopus is a truly fascinating little animal. I chose to study it because of its unusual features and its beautiful pearly colour. It would be a shame to lose such an interesting and unique animal.

I hope one day in the future That people will remember me Doing something special and noble Helping the next generation be all they can be I am only one person But I plan to achieve a lot Work through all life’s challenges Eventually reaching the top My last word is for you kids out there Who believe in keeping NZ green Kia Kaha to you all Mean Aotearoa Mean Mr Webber Room 1 8 Room 1 (Te Aro Māori) Culminating Task Term 1 2019 As part of our Term 1 Inquiry Topic ‘Ūkaipo’, Room 1 students were asked to complete a culminating task that was focused on researching individual ‘Whakapapa’ (Family Tree) and ‘Pepeha’ (An introduction of identity and heritage). The purpose of this assignment was for students to establish a sense of belonging and uniqueness of who they are and where they come from. This was delivered visually through a Power-Point Presentation. Students presented their assignment orally to their classmates. Well done to the following students who scored the highest grades in the class for their Term 1 assignments: 1. Moronai Tipene 2. Jullena Vahafolau 3. Chase Hartley 4. Isabella Wickliffe 5.

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.

  • Deep-Sea Life
    Deep-Sea Life Issue 7, June 2016 Welcome to the seventh edition of Deep-Sea Life: an informal publication about current affairs in the world of deep-sea biology. Once again we have a wealth of contributions from our fellow colleagues to enjoy concerning their current projects, news, meetings, cruises, new publications and so on. The photo of the issue is of the handsome crew from NIWA, NZ (Mireille Consalvey, formerly NIWA, Malcolm Clark and Ashley Rowden), sporting their newly-published book – Biological Sampling in the Deep Sea (see article on page 43 for further details). This represents the first comprehensive compilation of deep-sea sampling methodologies for a range of habitats. It is hoped that the book will help to promote international consistency in sampling approaches and data collection, advance the integration of information into global databases and facilitate improved data analysis Above: Mireille Consalvey, Malcolm Clark and Ashley Rowden, with their and consequently uptake of science results for the new book “Biological Sampling in the Deep Sea” management and conversation of the deep sea. The management and sharing of valuable deep-sea biodiversity data is the subject of an upcoming funded workshop later this year run by OBIS & INDEEP which will train deep-sea scientists in data management, access and processing. This effort will be the beginnings of establishing a new deep-sea OBIS portal to connect with existing information systems such as WoRDDS (see page 26 for further details). I always appreciate feedback regarding any aspect of the publication, so that it may be improved as we go forward.

  • Recent Cephalopoda Primary Types
    Ver. 2 March 2017 RECENT CEPHALOPOD PRIMARY TYPE SPECIMENS: A SEARCHING TOOL Compiled by Michael J. Sweeney Introduction. This document was first initiated for my personal use as a means to easily find data associated with the ever growing number of Recent cephalopod primary types. (Secondary types (paratypes, etc) are not included due to the large number of specimens involved.) With the excellent resources of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution and the help of many colleagues, it grew in size and became a resource to share with others. Along the way, several papers were published that addressed some of the problems that were impeding research in cephalopod taxonomy. A common theme in each paper was the need to locate and examine types when publishing taxonomic descriptions; see Voss (1977:575), Okutani (2005:46), Norman and Hochberg (2005b:147). These publications gave me the impetus to revive the project and make it readily available. I would like to thank the many individuals who assisted me with their time and knowledge, especially Clyde Roper, Mike Vecchione, Eric Hochberg and Mandy Reid. Purpose. This document should be used as an aid for finding the location of types, type names, data, and their publication citation. It is not to be used as an authority in itself or to be cited as such. The lists below will change over time as more research is published and ambiguous names are resolved. It is only a search aid and data from this document should be independently verified prior to publication. My hope is that this document will make research easier and faster for the user.
