 Duffy Role Model

We had a visit from Diana Queenin 
She grew up in Pukekohe and while in high school spent a year in the United States. 
She has lived in Melbourne, New York and Los Angeles (as well as Auckland and Wellington). 
While in New York she worked as a guide in the Museum of Natural History specialising in 
Dinosaurs and Ocean Life. In Los Angeles she attended UCLA University and studied 
Bio Geography (the effect of nature on the land) and spent time in the American 
deserts among the cactus and snakes.


Diana is a certified Scuba Diver and has dived in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, and Thailand
and learned much about the underwater world. She joined Project Jonah when she came
back to New Zealand and is very interested in Whales and Dolphins (as well as Monarch 
Butterflies, Plants, Fishing, Insects, Birds, Travel, and READING BOOKS). 

Recently she went to Uganda to the source of the Nile River was fascinating to listen to. She talkeda about
and presented some of the interesting things shw has collected over her life time and djuring her
travels.

  1. Wow room 2 what an interesting visitor. That is an amazing collection of fossils and rocks. It is interesting to hear about the different diving experiences. Would some one in room 2 describe what the top picture is of. Where you would find one and how it lived. That looks freaky and I have never seen any thing like it before. Keep up the blogging it is fun to visit.

    1. Hi Phoenix that is a helpful comment. When you say you have no false work to work on do you mean that it was interesting? I would have like to be able to have a close look at those rocks if I was there.

  3. Hi, I'm Jayde from Wesley intermediate. I really like all the things that were shown, they looked very interesting. The only problem I saw, was a few spelling mistakes at the end on the post, but apart from that, great post!

  5. Hi I'm Ingrid from Wesley intermediate school in Auckland. Those fossils look really cool they look as though you could feel the texture from the screen. I saw a few spelling mistakes as I was reading through but otherwise you guys are very lucky. Maybe visit my blog to see what has been happening at Wesley. http://wisingridl.blogspot.co.nz/
