Thank you to everyone from Lower Gwynedd Elementary School who entered the THREE FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT SHARKS contest. We enjoyed seeing the choices you made and reading your writing using those words. 85 people entered this contest - that is a lot of excellent research and writing!
As promised, we have selected two winners of this contest, and both will receive an autographed copy of the new edition of Seymour Simon’s EXTREME OCEANS, from Chronicle Books. We chose the winners at random, using a very cool random number generator website called Random.org.
Are you ready? Here are the winners of Seymour Simon’s SHARKS contest:
Individual Winner: Nathan, from Class 4-O. Nathan’s three fascinating facts were:
1: About 90% of the people who are attacked by sharks survive.
2: If sharks stop moving they start to sink.
3: More people are killed by bee stings than shark attacks.
Classroom Winner: Mrs. Stapp’s Kindergarten Class. They wrote:
Our Favorite Shark Facts:
1.Sharks lived before the dinosaurs
2. Sharks can smell a drop of blood a mile away.
3. Sharks don’t chew their food.
Congratulations to everyone who entered. Be on the lookout for another blog post, because we enjoyed the work you did for this contest so much, we are going to publish some of your writing for everyone to read.
