Year 4 looking at Dolphins in our Hauraki Gulf

This week, Year Four's moana studies focused on dolphins. After we discussed our prior knowledge, we watched a video on dolphins and  took an online quiz. 

Next, we estimated, then measured with meter rulers the length of the dolphins that live in Aotearoa. Did you know orca' s are the biggest type of dolphin? 

Hector / Maui (1.2-1.7m) 

Dusky (1.6-2m) 

Common / aihe (1.7-2.4m) 

Bottlenose / terehu (2.5-4m) 

Orca (6-7.5m female, 7-9m male)











Lastly, we drew diagrams of the Common Dolphin and wrote all the facts we had learnt about them.
