Great speech Jack, a bird species I never new existed! Hmm I wonder if there is any history on tree goblins & piano playing dogs.

It is great to learn so much about the Haast's eagle Jack - I love the way you have incorporated sound effects and visuals in this post too. Kylie

Well done Jack. You've obviously done lots of research and learned your subject well. But most impressive for me is that you've learned your speech and managed to present it very professionally with only occasional reference to your notes. Keep up the good work.

Good on you Jack! You have obviously done your research on your topic. Your facts are clear and concise. A sterling effort and I'm sure your school is very proud of you! I am assuming your classmates are equally as conscientious as you. Well done Mahana School!!

Great speech Jack. Have you been to one of the caves locally which hs Haasts eagle bones in it? I was lucky to lead a group of students to a cave in 1994 near Flora where we discovered the bones of the eagle - as well as many other extinct birds. It was the largest discovery in over 30 years!
Well done! Roger (Briar's Dad)

What a bonus to have such an expert in our school.
Do you think great writers like Tolkein researched animals before creating characters? The Eagle who rescued Gandalf may have been based on the Haast Eagle.
Great research and presentation skills Jack. Well done!
PS- have you considered linking your speech to Forest and Birds website for some expert feedback?
