Flounders, When that word comes to my mind I think of it as food. But not today, Pt England school is catching flounders not to eat but to farm for our own little flounder pack. In partnership with another school, Kauri Flats. As they only caught 4.
Today, The whole of Pt England school walked down to Riverside ave to watch some of our students catch flounders. Of course, We had a limit to catch which was either 20 - 25 small baby flounders. We had up to 10 students participating down at the beach, Dragging nets and carrying big buckets to place the flounders in. As they were busy catching flounders, We were given a job to sing 3 of our school himene’s and end it with a karakia to basically show our support and Aroha.
We have just returned and according to one of our students who participated in the flounder fishing we’ve caught over 20 small baby flounders. They’re so tiny, Not even the size of my pinky yet. From my calculations I’ve got to say that they’re about 2 - 3 cm wide. Now from what I’m thinking it’ll take a lot of time for it to grow.
We look forward on seeing our baby flounder grow and hopefully some don’t pass out. Congratulations to those who did catch some, You were amazing!
