Facts about whales

We had a revision on parts of the fish and also the facts about fish.

Whales are amazing creatures that the children are interested with. Therefore, we went through some facts about whales:

Facts about whales:

•      Whales are mammals.
•      Whales breathe underwater using lungs. Therefore, they need to come up to the surface to breathe all the time. 
•      Whales give birth to one calf at a time, within 1-3 years.
•      Whales are warm-blooded animals.
•      There are 2 main types of whales, Toothed and Baleen.

I threw a question to them “Why can’t a whale sleep for too long underwater?” The children could actually find out or having discussion with parents about this and share with the class on Wednesday.
