Weather Features

WALT:Write Information Reports Using The Correct Structure And Language Features.

We are beginning to learn about weather features and what we experience with weather.

Weather Features

Brrr it’s so cold !!Why isn't the sun shining today?

Weather is a minute by  minute changing thing . It is the current Atmosphere that we experience day to day.

Right now it is very cold. The sun is shining but the wind is crisp which  is making it cold. Mostly every day the wind makes it cold so ,if there was no wind today it would be nice and warm.

Let's talk about the sun. As we all know the sun is very hot and very bright.The sun is very hot because when is was first created it was just a mixture of gases. But because over time the gases have mixed together they have started boiling

Floods are caused by lots and lots of rain. Floods can get really bad.They can make people evacuate their homes.Then when they return their left with soggy floors and muddy walls. Ew gross.

Rain is just water falling from the sky. Rain is the condensed moisture of the atmosphere falling visibly in separate drops. Rain is a considered component of the water cycle and is responsible for disposing most of the freshwater on Earth.There is nothing better than sipping hot chocolate on a cold rainy day!

There is nothing better than being inside nice and warm when there is a storm coming towards you. Don’t you just love watching storms while you're nice and cosy?

Antarctica's Climate and Weather Information Report

WALT:Write an Information report about Antarctica useing language features.

 Antarctica's Climate

Did you know Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth! Well if you did you must be very smart because I didn’t when I started. So, the weather is very cold as you will know but, it is actually is a desert. It is a desert because, it doesn't get any rain, just snow. Antarctica can be very strange at times but otherwise it is very still.

Antarctica Animals -South Polar. Antarctic animals - The most abundant and best known animals from the southern continent. Penguins, whales seals, albatrosses, other seabirds and a range of invertebrates you may have not heard of such as krill which form the basis of the Antarctic food web.

Overall, Antarctica is a great place to be the only thing is it is COLD!!!

Power time-Different Mindsets

WALT: Find out what a fixed mindset is and what a growth mindset is.



During Power Time we have been learning about growth mindset. We watched a short video about Luke Skywalker Yoda lifting an X-Wing out of the lake. Luke had a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is....

Yoda taught him how to have a growth mindset. A growth mindset is......

We talked about what we could say to ourselves to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

This is what you would say if you had a fixed mindset

I can’t do it

I give up

Antarctica facts

WALT: Skim And Scan To Find Information
Over the last few weeks for literacy we have been learning about Antarctica.We went to the Antarctic Center to get some information about Antarctica.So,I made up a slide about some Antarctica facts You may or may not know. Enjoy looking at my work.

Emperor Penguin Art

WALT: Use paint to create the effect of feathers.
We had to draw it then paint it black,then let it dry.
Paint it grey and let it dry.
Paint it orange and yellow then let it dry.
Then finally, Paint it white.

Rainy Day Art

WALT: Use crayon and dye to show movement and ripples in a weather feature.
First we had to draw in white crayon ant then some puddles.
Then we had to make a rainbow.
Finally we used some grey, black and blue dye to do the background.

Antarctica

For ingury and reading this term we are learning about Antarctica. For this, we needed to learn how to write a description. Here is my plan and my description. 

Brr,k it’s freezing down here!!!

Antarctica sits at the bottom of the earth, it is a cold continent.

Antarctica is basically a gigantic, white fluffy marshmallow.

Antarctica is covered with snow and ice, even when the sun is shining Antarctica still stays frozen.

Did you know that Antarctica is actually a desert because, it doesn't get any rain. By the way a desert doesn't have to be orange, It just can’t get rain.

Antarctica can get very windy at times. The wind can get up to 375km in speed, in snowstorms.

Antarctica is a great place to be and a lot of people would love to visit BUT... IT'S TOO COLD!!!
