Kids Help Hoiho! Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust’s Limerick Competition
As part of the Trust’s new For Kids website section the YEPT is holding a limerick competition during Seaweek, open to all students.
Kids can create a five-line limerick that describes how we can best help the Hoiho, yellow-eyed penguins and the sea they live in.
The best limericks will feature on the Trust’s website.
Sue Murray, general manager for the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust said, “the limerick competition is an opportunity for a fun new way to get kids involved in conservation and thinking about the ocean where yellow-eyed penguins go fishing.”
Here’s a couple from Te Radar (Ambassador for the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust) to help get you started!
Said a Hoiho one day to a whale
The ocean is terribly frail
But if kids and their teachers
Helped the ocean and beaches
Life would be a much happier tale.
Said a Hoiho one day to the Sea
‘When I swim I feel happy and free!’
The Ocean replied
‘You’ll be safe on on my tide
If the humans just look after me’
Submissions should be emailed to [email protected] by Monday 7 March 2011. Please include your name, and a contact phone number.
Winners will be notified by email on Monday 21 March.
The Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust will judge the competition and the prize for the most entertaining and effective limerick is a parcel of penguin-related goodies.
