An Information Report on DOLPHINS

Room 5 has been learning to write better information reports. Progress has been good - we have been using different sources to find information including the internet.

This is what Lingas found out about dolphins.




Dolphins have recently been in the news. They are very smart mammals, very similar to humans. Their main habitat is in the water but they are not fish.
There are 36 different species of dolphins . A group of dolphins is called a  pod. They eat fish, squid and krill.
Dolphins do not smell very nice. Young dolphins stay with their parents for two to three years before they leave. Once an adult, they can  jump up 1,000 feet high. 
Dolphins can swim an amazing 25km/h. which  is much faster than the world’s fastest man. Dolphins can also be taught to do tricks in the water. They can do backflips and they can communicate with each other.
I think that dolphins are very smart and unique. They are very amazing creatures. Unfortunately, they can only live for about 17 years. Some dolphins have lived for over 50 years.
I would love to see a real live dolphin and feel its skin.
