Helen’s brilliant drawing of a dolphin leaping out from under the sea…
Okay, what are we blogging about?
Scott: That’s a hard question.
Anything exciting at school today?
Scott: Eh… Em… Not really.
Did you read anything exciting?
Scott: Eh… What do you mean? I mean no, I haven’t read anything exciting.
Helen, what do you want to blog about?
Helen: Whales.
Scott: Let’s blog about whales, then.
She always wants to talk about whales.
Scott: I think she does.
What about something else?
Helen: Eh… Dolphins.
Why do you always want to talk about water creatures?
Helen: I just wanted to talk about a water creature.
Tell me about dolphins, then.
Helen: Eh… They jump up from under water.
Scott: Yeah, you could say that. Think of a dolphin and a cow and then think: “This is a picture of two dolphins, the more difference I see between the two, the more stressed you are.” They’re very different, so you’re very stressed.
Are dolphins clever?
Helen: Eh… I don’t know.
Scott: I wouldn’t have thought so.
Helen: They are.
Scott: As in – I don’t really know.
They’re really clever.
Scott: Really, how do you know?
They’ve got their own language.
Scott: Really? Every animal has its own language.
They can learn to do things.
Scott: Like?
Jumping and tricks.
Scott: Yeah.
Eh… And other clever stuff too.
Scott: Really?
Are they your favourite water creature, Helen?
Helen: Eh… My favourite is mostly a humpback whale.
Scott: Why didn’t you blog about that?But dolphins can be quite interesting…
…And Scott’s great drawing of a whale/dolphin.
