What is a River?

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 mostly an estuarial arm?

Using our knowledge that we acquired we showcased the features of the Tamaki river using an aerial map? We then compared the Tamaki River with a prominent river in the world. Our group chose to look at the Amazon river. Finally we made a comparison of the two rivers.

We found this activity interesting because we learnt facts about two rivers, our local one and a famous one.
