Watch the video of Mrs Marden reading the Shortlisted text – Anemone is Not the Enemy.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qG4eMLcP3hSlJZCcTYXHeJwGAsO_KLt-/view?usp=sharing
In the text Anemone and Clown Fish become the best of friends and friends like to talk. I bet fish has seen amazing things in the ocean – sharks, whales, sunken ships,
treasure, mermaids! Kraken, pirates – pollution, decimation of coral reef habitat, fishing trawlers, drift and shark nets. He could tell Anemone all about those things
because you see poor old Anemone cannot move from the rockpool.
Your library task is to:
Imagine you are the clown fish telling Anemone all the things you have seen. On a piece of paper illustrate Anemone and Clown Fish and then add the things you would tell
Anemone about. Remember you would need to be talking fact if it was about habitat destruction or fanciful and entertaining if it were about mermaids or the Kraken. Add
speech bubbles to your illustration. Remember they look like this
You could even do your own comic strip.
Or you could really get creative and make a rockpool diorama or paper plate picture here is a little inspiration picture
Later you can watch this very short clip where a diver is explaining why clown fish and anemones are the best of friends.

This clip is an amazing 8 minute journey of Cory from Awesome Animals TV snorkelling with anemones and clown fish in Australia and giving you a feast for your eyes and a
wealth of information. Enjoy!
