Academic Progress

Maui's Dolphin Email

Hi I am a year 7 student at Pukekohe Intermediate. Recently our class (RM23) have been studying the Maui’s Dolphin. I am writing this email because the population of the Maui’s Dolphin has declined. 30 years ago the population of the Maui’s dolphin was over 1000, in 30 years it has dropped to an estimated number of 111. This means 10% are still alive. Now they are ranked as critically endangered.


I have a couple of solutions to stop the decline of the population by banning speedboats and nylon fishing in their habitat. Nylon fishing nets are a major problem for the Maui’s Dolphins. This is because the Maui’s Dolphins are very curious and may sense the fish that are trapped in the nets. They will go over and get caught unable to swim backwards. W.W.F have already tried to make a difference but we really need more support from the government please HELP save the Maui’s dolphin.

Computer Classroom

Our classroom Rm 23 have a lot of computer more than a standard class really. We have 16 + 1 if you include the teachers laptop. We have learned a lot of computer skills throughout this year and finally we are you using them to do exciting stuff . Programs we have learn t this year have been based mostly on Apple programs due to not having Microsoft computers like we had them in Primary School.

Maui's Dolphin

This term our class have been mainly focusing on the Maui's Dolphin. We have been learning how critically endangered they are and how we can help them. Our class have learnt that there are approximately 111 left in New Zealand. We have also been writing emails to help stop the Maui's Dolphin from becoming extinct. We will then eventually send them to the government.
