Today Year 4 are taking a mathematical look at dolphins/aihe.
What do we already know about our Hauraki Gulf neighbours the dolphins?
James "They use clicks and whistles to communicate"
Chase "They are mammals"
Ariella "The Chinese River Dolphin went extinct because of pollution"
"Spinner dolphins talk with types of splashes" Rigo
Curtis "Dolphins are clever"
We watched a video of dolphins in our Gulf.
What did we learn?
Awa "Maui dolphin are the most endangered"
Payton "A group of dolphins is a called a pod"
Alonso "Bottle nosed dolphins so all the tricks"
Luke "Maui and Hector look the same but they are different species"
TJ "Maui is the smallest dolphin"
"Maui's dolphin is named after Maui because it only lives where Maui cast his hook" Allan
Next we got into groups and ordered different types of dolphins from biggest to smallest based on our prior knowledge. Then we check against information. Afterwards we went outside and estimated how big the dolphins were, then we measured exactly.
Lastly we drew a dolphin in our book and added facts we had learnt. Pack a litter free lunch to help protect our dolphins.
