LI:To identify and describe the features of the Tamaki River.
This week we have been learning about what rivers are, their unique attributes and how to label them. We then created a DLO about the Tamaki river and its history. Did you know that the Tamaki River is 15 km long. Using our knowledge that we learnt, we showed the features of the Tamaki river using an aerial map. We then compared the Tamaki River with the Mississippi River. Our group chose to look at the Mississippi River because most of the students in LS2 were picking the Nile and the Amazon so our group decided that we were going to pick a river that was famous and no one else was using. Finally we made a comparison of the two rivers. Did you know that the Mississippi River is 4 times as large? The Mississippi River is 3,766km long which is 2,320 miles.
We found this activity interesting because we learnt about the many types of water sources such as, Lakes, reservoirs, Rivers, Dams, Ponds and many more.
