WALT find why whales migrate

I used to think that Whales migrate because they must be going on a journey or an adventure. They might be going to other location like their home there friends house or other places.

But now I know that Whales migrate to cold places because in cold areas there is a big chance to find food.They go cold areas because it's hot. When it's hot they go cold places.
