Today Year 4 are taking a mathematical look at dolphins/aihe.
What do we already know about our Hauraki Gulf neighbours the dolphins?
"They have a hole to breathe and they can jump high" Valentin
"They breathe air but they have to stay in water" David
Joshua "They use echo location"
Lucy "They communicate with whistles and clicks."
Hirva "There's lots of different types of dolphins."
We watched a video of dolphins in our Gulf.
What did we learn?
"A dolphin group is called a pod" Roy
Edison "The Maui dolphin is one of the smallest in the world"
Ken "The Maui dolphin was named the Maori God Maui"
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.
