Under the Sea Comprehension
A reef at low tide
At the edge of a rocky shore in Aotearoa New Zealand, the tide slipped away from a small rock pool. Nikau crouched beside it and spotted a tiny crab tucked under a ledge. It lifted one claw, then scuttled sideways into a crack. A little further out, a school of silver fish flashed through the clear water. They turned together like one shining ribbon. Beneath a fan of swaying seaweed, an octopus rested with its arms curled close. When a shadow passed overhead, its skin changed from pale orange to mottled brown. It blended into the rocks and stayed still. Nikau watched quietly. He knew that the rock pool was a home, not a playground. He stepped back carefully so the creatures could carry on undisturbed.

Sea-sound poem
Silver fish flash, turn and gleam, Crabs slip sideways through the stream. Seaweed sways where cool currents flow, An octopus waits down below.
- It flashes and gleams.
- It sways where currents flow.
- It hides beneath the crab.
- It turns into a ribbon.
