Q1:I think that its weak because is has to pop up and hold its body weight.
ReplyDeleteQuestion.2:
ReplyDeleteInking occurs when a whale is frightened. It looks like a big brown cloud of a gas-like object.
Question.5:
I think Pimi will survive her injuries, because if she is dead the story will be sort of over. And I think that Pimi is part of the main characters.
Q5: I do not think pimmy will survive her injures because pimmy was cut badly on the tail which means that pimmy cant swim and then she will drown.
ReplyDeleteI like that opinion :D
DeleteQ1: They are weak after diving because they use so much energy going down so that there really tired when they come up
ReplyDeleteQ1 I think the whales are weak after diving because they use all their energy in going down into the water and up out of the water.
ReplyDeleteQ5 she won t survive because she is exhausted and she would not be able to dive
ReplyDeletedown and was really badly cut scratched and she would be to tried from diving down
have you thought about her being badly cut?
DeleteI think that she was tired because she had just released a lot of ink. Releasing ink must make them tired.
ReplyDeleteQ3: The answer is the newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct! (I am pretty sure)
DeleteQ1: I think whales are weak after diving because they use so much energy diving down they can't swim back up
ReplyDeleteIf I was rich I would help stop the trash going every were in the sea
DeleteNice idea. Can you tell me why you would do this?
DeleteQ4 not always because they might trick you into believing it and might say like this
ReplyDeleteman was the first one on nz and he could be famous from lying so don t
trust everything
you see
Yeah! That is pretty true, I like your opinion.
DeleteQ4 Do not believe stuff on the internet it could fake.
ReplyDeleteQ5 I don't think Pimi will survive with the injuries.
Q.5 Do you have any reasons of why she won't survive her injuries? And possibly give a bit more detail
Deleteinking happens when the whale is frightened and it looks like a massive cloud thing.........
ReplyDeleteHave you maybe thought about how often it occurs?
Deletebut the rest is fine :D
Delete(btw) Q.2
ReplyDeleteInking is releasing ink out of the whales anus just like it stated in the story
ReplyDeleteQ1. I think that the whales were weak because it had to hold it's body up and had to be diving for a long time so that's why.
ReplyDeleteQ5. Yes I think Pimi will survive because it was a little bit major but not so much and hopefully she does survive the injury.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you're correct about Pimi!
DeleteSame! btw thanks Hoyi -,-
DeleteQ.1 i think wales are weak after diving because they are really heavy and it would probably take up a lot of energy to dive.
ReplyDeleteHave a think about this answer Jessica. Some questions to think about. Do heavy things stink faster than light things? How is buoyancy is related to mass of an object. In water do things appear to weigh more or less?
DeleteCould someone do some research on "inking" we seem to have a lot of various on the topic. I will start a discussion about this. Check the discussion forum.
ReplyDeleteQ.4 No we shouldnt trust everything on the internet because you never know who wrote it. It could be lies and you should always trust internet sites that have correct information like National Geographic will always have correct information.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you come up with these ideas!?
DeleteQ.5 Yes, I think Pimi will survive her injuries though she might have to be put in a special 'training' area with divers like the tank for Inky. Pimi might be trained to swim properly again.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Katelyn!
DeleteQ1. whales are weak after diving because it takes up most of there energy.
ReplyDeleteQ2. the 'poo cloud' happens when it is attacking its prey or to run away from its enemies.
Q3. newspaper article.
Q4. no we should not trust the internet some times.
Q5. i have no hope but i really want her to live.
Hi Faiza,
Deletehave you thought a lot about Q3?
Q1. they become weak because they use a lot of energy to rise.
ReplyDeleteQ2. Inking is when a pygmy sperm whale lets out ink out of a slit underneath the tail. This happens when the whale gets scared or afraid.
Q3. The newspaper was correct. Milton's boat has no propeller! But the journalist boat did. The "blood" they saw was actually ink.
Q4. No, because some people just want money.
Q5. I think so
