Swimming with the sharks!

Day 4 ___ Activity 1:
What did the local people do to save the beach whales?
  • The local people volunteered to help,  enable to pour buckets of water onto each and every whale. Here is a quote from the article to support this statement : "Keep them wet, cover them if you can, keep their blowholes clear and stay away from the tails."
Activity 2:
Summary about the movie whale rider - 
  • This movie is about a young girl (Paikea) who was born and raised in Aotearoa. She is challenged by a mother dying from birth giving, as the father has arrived at once to his daughter. At age 12 Paikea has to  declare her birth right over her grandfather (Rawiri Paratene). 
Rating for movie - 
  • I give this movie a 5 = excellent movie, because it has given me a breath of the a beautiful New Zealand experience.
Bonus activity:
My perspective about whether fishing in Farewell spit should be banned - 
  • I think people should be banned to fish in the Farewell spit because these native dolphins are very endemic to New Zealand and no one can bare without our beautiful sea creatures.

  1. Ola Kayla,

    Thankyou for sharing your summary about Day 4 activities. I was thrilled to see that you added a quote from the story about the whales. How did it make you feel learning about what happened to them? I was so sad watching them suffer on the beach. I was amazed to see the amount of support from people across the country who did everything they could to save the whales. Unfortunately, some did not survive.

    I'm proud of the effort you put into work. I would really love to read more interesting facts in your own words so we can allocate full points for completing Day 4 activities.

    Keep up the good work Kayla.

    Best wishes,

    Jacinta
