Animal Description

In Literacy I am learning about Antarctic Animals. I went to the Antarctic Center for a school trip. In Literacy I researched about Emperor Penguins. I wrote a description about them using all my research. I used the correct structure of a description. It has an Introduction, Characteristics and an Evaluation. I used a hook to make people want to read to the end and I used some adjectives.

Chirp Chirp! Do you really want to know some awesome facts about penguins? There are many types of penguins such as an Emperor Penguin. A Penguin is a type of bird.

An Emperor Penguin is very colourful, they have four colours. The colours of an Emperor Penguin are Black, White, Yellow and Orange. The Emperor Penguins are the tallest Penguins in the world(Four feet tall).

Emperor Penguins eat Krill, fish, squid and crustaceans. I think a crustacean is some sort of crab. A fish is mostly a penguin’s main prey. All Penguins have such spiky tongues that even slippery fish can’t escape.

Emperor Penguins have a big layer of blubber to keep them warm. Like all Penguins they have several feathers on their bodys. Most Emperor Penguins huddle up together to keep eachother warm.

Emperor Penguins are my favorite penguin because of how tall and how colourful they are.

Rainy Day

This week Punui-o-toka made a rainy day drawing using dye and crayons. We were allowed to draw a rainbow with coloured crayons, but i chose not to. The colours are Navy Blue, Black and Light Blue, I call Light Blue "Cyan" mostly. First we used White crayons to make raindrops, ripples and a line for you to see where the sky is and where the ground is. Then I dyed with the Black for the clouds and concrete, but I needed blue aswell for the sky and the ripples. I didn't get to use Light Blue because Mr Breach took it before I came to dye.

Penguin Painting

We have been painting Emperor Penguins using Black, White, Yellow, Green and Orange. Black for most of the feathers and on the flippers, White for the chest feathers. We used the Yellow and Orange for the upper chest feathers. Green was for the eye's pupil. I also used White on some Black to make a glare from it. 

We had to stroke the feathers downwards because who sees an Emperor Penguin's feathers in the other directions?

Mindsets

WALT(We are learning to) create Fixed mindsets and Growth mindsets. We made a DLO(Digital learning object) to make bad encouraging phrases to better and more positive versions of them.

Reflective Symmetry

In Maths we have been learning about Symmetry. Reflective Symmetry is when you use a type of shape and make both sides the same. We played The Mirror Game and used shapes to create Reflective Symmetry.

Two Digit Addition

WALT Add together two digit numbers with place value.
I have made a screencastify of me doing it.

The equation was eighteen plus nine.

Antarctica Description

In Literacy I am learning about Antarctica. I went to the Antarctic Center for a school trip. In Literacy I researched all about Antarctica. I wrote a description about Antarctica using all my research. I used the correct structure of a description. It has an Introduction, Characteristics and an Evaluation. I used a hook to make people want to read to the end and some adjectives.

F-F-F-Freezing! Ch-Ch-Chilly! I-I-Icy. Did you know that Antarctica has the most of Earth’s snow and ice?(90%) You should know that Antarctica is one of the seven continents on Earth.

Antarctica is the only place where the South Pole is located just like the North Pole is only located in the Arctic. Russia was the first country to discover Antarctica, this happened in the 1820’s. America was the first country to step foot on Antarctica.

The weather in Antarctica is the coldest weather on Earth. This might blow your mind, but Antarctica is actually a desert because it doesn’t rain at all! Antarctica’s coldest area is the South Pole.

Antarctica is twice as big as Australia. Also Antarctica is twenty-five percent(25%) bigger the Europe. Antarctica is as freezing as my freezer. It’s as windy as Autumn. Antarctica has some of the most highest places with lots of ice shelves, icebergs and ginormous, snowy mountains.

I really feel like Antarctica is one of the last places I would want to go to because I don’t think I will be able to survive there.
