Wonderings

 Hello

Welcome to my blog, today I am going to share you what we did in wananga time.

So we had to think of some question and brainstorm it at the whiteboard. The question that I had in my mind is "Do fish sleep with their eyes open". I went to site called "wonderpolis" and it gave me the answer, fish actually sleeps with their eyes open. You maybe be wondering why? Its because fishes doesn't have eye lids lids, so they sleep with their eyes open.

How can starfish see even though they don't have eyes?

Starfish doesn't have eyes, that means that they can't see any details. They can only detect light and dark.

Thank you for reading this post, Bye.
