Reading Activity 4
The Fish Highway by Adele Jackson
WALT: Learning to make predictions on what is going to happen next in the text by using the key words in the preceeding sentences and paragarphs.
The oldest pipes that snake along Wellington streets are brick lined and they are the stormwater pipes. They have fish living in and near them. Some of the pipes were built about 1880. The pipes are highways for fish and eels.
One night a Fish Scientist saw some fish swimming in and out so she decided to investigate. She used a 250 metre long tape measure to tell her if there were any fish. She used her pack on her back to make the fish unconscious. Then she put the fish in a container and measured it, recorded what type it was. Then she put it back in the water and found another fish to record. She recorded the details about the fish in a notebook. There were 2 types of fish there and the longfin eel.
The city is putting up kelp ladders so the little fish can climb them to get into the stormwater pipes. The newest pipes have bricks poking up so the little fish can rest on them and they can go up there if the current is too strong.
