Winter Learning Journey - Beached Whales

For this activity I had to read a article about a place called Farewell Spit. Recently a number of whales accidentally swam into the spit and became stuck on the beach. Sadly the whales were unable to swim back to ocean because the water was too shallow. The local people around there tried to save the 'beached' whales, but sadly a lot of them died. I had to tell what the local people did to try and save the beached whales.

1. Put wet towels/clothes on them

2. Pour buckets of water on them

3. They grab their chilly bins, water bottles, cooking pots and mixing bowls to fill with water to keep the whales wet.

4. Campers offer their towels , t shirts, and sarongs to drape over the whales.

5. Good News - All of the volunteers that helped worked until nightfall.
