Year Six Estuary Inquiry

Year Six began an inquiry into estuaries today. 

What do we know about estuaries?

Ethan M-C "There are lots of mangroves"

Izzabella "Fish hide in mangroves from the birds"

Harvey "The mangroves act as a nursery for baby fish"

Jaden "A small body of water"

Hannah "Eels can live in estuaries"

Harrison "Sort of like a river"

We found out what an Estuary is and began to think about our local Tamaki Estuary.

What do we want to find out?

What type of estuary is the Tamaki Estuary?

What animals live there?

Can we eat shellfish from there?

Why are there mangroves there now?

Next time we're looking forward to finding out why estuaries are important in the past and in the future.  

In the meantime, for homework, we can visit the estuary and enter the estuary photo: competition: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1aCjzqhyEgcIjnjbta_eo7o1ToVceqYJGS8E-y6zc2xg/edit?usp=sharing
