On the left side of your LearNZ Marine Mammals home page their is a list of headings.  Go to ‘background’.  When you click on link it will bring up background info pages - click on Maine Mammals. Use the Play function to have text read out too.

1. Create new heading in Padlet called ‘Marine Mammals’.  This is where your answers will go.  Cut and paste the quote in box at top of page.  Marine mammals are a unique group of animals with features that separate them from all others. They are a taonga to Māori, and many different species can be found in New Zealand waters.

2. Read the info page then answer these questions: - List the features that make an animal a mammal.  To make an animal a mammal they have to have fur or hair, breathes in and out of the lungs, give birth to young, and produce breast milk.  How do mammals survive cold temperatures in the ocean?  They survive because they have a layer of fat on the outer of their bodies.   How do they hold the breath for so long when diving?  They can hold their breath by using less oxygen when they dive in.

3. Why do maori have a special connection with marine mammals?  The maori have a special connection with marine mammals because traditional maori stories have the taniwha taking the form of dolphins or whales to guide the maori voyages.  Another reason they have a special connection is because the maori used the meat, oil, bones, and teeth from whales, dolphins, and seals.

4. Cut and Paste list of te reo words from page to your Padlet.  Use the heading Maine Mammals: Te Reo.  This is where you will add all the te reo words from this assignment.  Listen to the pronunciation of all the words.  Have a go saying them with a friend in class.  Which words were new?  The words that were new were all of them except for one.  Which did you already know?  I already knew the word Taniwha.

On this field trip, you will join scientists, DOC staff, tourist operators, and other members of the public as you explore the world-famous Bay of Islands/Peiwhirirangi.

Location

On this field trip you will travel to The Bay of Islands/Peiwhairangi. This area, on the east coast of the Far North District of the North Island, is one of the most popular fishing, sailing and tourist destinations in the country. Māori settled in The Bay of Islands/Peiwhairangi early in their migrations, and it is also the birthplace of European colonisation in the country. It was here that the Treaty of Waitangi was drawn up and first signed in 1840.
