Whale Poems

Whale Silhouette Art

We have created some cool artwork based on the illustrations from 'Lost and Found' written by Oliver Jeffers.

Our silhouettes are a birds eye view of some whales migrating in a super pod. I wonder where they are migrating to?

Whale Writing

We have been writing all about whales.

Here are some excerpts from three of our students. Pop on in to read the rest.

Whales

Whales are LONG creatures and are way bigger than dolphins. Now here is an idea about how long a whale is; an orca is bigger than an elephant! They have 4 limbs (2 in their tail and one in each flipper). Beneath their skin is a fat called blubber. Seals and Seal Lions also have blubber.  

DIET:

A whale’s diet depends on whether you are a toothed whale, or if you are a baleen whale. If you are a toothed whale you eat squid, seals, sea lions and blue whales. If you are a baleen whale you eat krill shrimp and…

plankton.

POPULATION:

Varies with every species. I don’t know what a single whale’s population is, apart from a few dolphins population, so ask a scientist who studies whales.

Killer Whales

The Killer Whale is black and white. It kills sharks and it has a blowhole. Its fin looks like a sharks fin and it has a white eye. It likes to chase sea turtles and its really fast, in fact, even faster than a human. They can also defend themselves against sharks and other kinds of dangerous icy water animals.

Blue Whales

The Blue Whale has a pleated throat, a giant tail and an enormous mouth. If feels a bit wet, touchy and soft. The Blue Whale looks like an enormous sea sausage. Its eyes are the size of grape fruit. It has a blowhole. With its tail, it can kill a Toothed Whale like the Orca. Its baleen looks like a big bunch of hair. Its tongue is big and fleshy. Its the biggest thing on Earth. If you just read that, now you know about the Blue Whale.
