Today Year Four found out about an under appreciated ocean feature - seaweed. It was amazing to read information and watch videos explaining how important it is. Here are some things we found out:
TJ "If fish and shellfish don't have kelp they will have not habitat"
Annie "The seaweed gives us 70% of our oxygen"
Payton "The seaweed helps fish breathe by putting oxygen in the water"
Coby "Seaweed can be good for your skin"
"Adult snapper eat kina and if we catch too many big snapper there will be too many kina. The kina eat all the kelp. So there should be an oversize limit" Harvey
"Kelp looks better underwater. It looks like a forest" - Georgia
Lakyn "There are over 850 types of seaweed in NZ"
We sketched types of seaweed from field guides and recorded some of the facts we had learnt.
Lastly we even got to try some seaweed from the supermarket. Did you know that all types of NZ seaweed, except one, is edible?
Next time we are going to using our numeracy skills to survey our lunchboxes and the litter we find around the school. Do you bring a litterfree lunch?
