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.

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.
