Today Year 4 began their inquiry into The Hauraki Gulf. After watching a wonderful video by the Young Ocean Explorers, we located the Hauraki Gulf on a map and saw that it's right on Sunnyhill's doorstep.
We wondered:
David "How many sea animals live in the Hauraki Gulf?"
Koen "What is the biggest shark in the Hauraki Gulf?"
Hirva "Why is it called the Hauraki Gulf?"
Shiloh "What type of colour is the Gulf?"
Mila "How many types of whales live there?"
"How many types of sharks live there?" Leo
Ken "How close is Rangitoto to Auckland?"
Lucy "What species live in the Hauraki Gulf?"
Hirva "How many islands are there in the Gulf?"
David "How big is it?
Quinn "What types of fish are there?"
"What can we do there?" Hirva
"How old are the islands?" Arjun
"Do sea horses live there?" Azara
Nick "What is the deepest point?"
"Are there any manatees?" Chace
"Which mammals live there?" Alyssa
Ananya "What type of dolphins live there?"
Vincent "What jobs can you do in the Hauraki Gulf"
Himaru "How many orcas are there?"
Aiden "How many people visit?"
"How do octopuses produce ink?" Logan
Henny "What's the oldest sea creature"
Lastly we read a KCC magazine about the Hauraki Gulf wetlands and checked our comprehension with a Kahoot. Next time we are going to look at how we can keep the Hauraki healthy.
