Activity 1
Our task is to do some reading about Farewell spit and the incident with the whales, we had to describe what people did to help the whales. To describe what they did I made a story about it. First I made a list of the things that the people did then I turned the list into a story.Here is a link to the site that I got information from. Link
- Dug holes underneath the whales then filled them up with water
- Lay wet beach towels over the whale
- Filled buckets of water over the whales
It was a Friday morning when my dad was waking me up I got up straight away after he told me what was happening. We raced in the car to farewell spit to see and help the beached whales all of my family were prepared to help. When we got there we could see at least fifty whales beached on the soft sand. we arrived and got straight to work we brung our buckets and shovels and lots of towels. We lay the wet towels on the beached whales and started digging a hole underneath the whales and then filed them up with water we filed the buckets with water and tipped it over the whale but we had to be careful to keep the blow hole clear. We worked all day going back and forth from the beach gathering water it was a long day, Once night fell we went home and could only hope for the beached whales to go back out to sea during high tide.
Bonus Activity
Our task is to give a reason why fishermen should stop fishing in farewell spit or if they should because of the Hector Dolphins . For this task I made a slide show about it.
Hi Lucy, I'm Isabel from, Awahono School. I liked how you said that people might get caught in nets. Maybe next time you should put a few more slides on. Did you have to find all the facts? If not you must be smart.
ReplyDeleteGreat writing LUcy - it was very sad and if we lived closer we definitely would have helped try to save the whales. You know what to do!
