Weather Art
This week for 2 days we have been making a rainy day piece of art with dye and crayons. Our WALT was to use crayon and dye to create a rainy day. The first step was to use a white crayon to make the rain. The next step to do was to make a rainbow if you want. I chose to make a rainbow. The last step was to dye your picture with black and blue dye.
Growth Mindset & Fixed Mindset
A couple of weeks ago we were learning about growth mindset and fixed mindset for power time. We watched a short video about Luke Skywalker and Yoda lifting an X-Wing out of a lake. Luke had fixed mindset which means he thinks he can't do it and he doesn't want to do it. Yoda try to tell him you have to believe in yourself to use the force. Luke believed in himself and then he was able to do it. We made a DLO about it.
My Antarctica Description
This week and last week we have been learning about Antarctica. We had to write a description about Antarctica . The reason why we are writing about Antarctica is because a few weeks ago we went to the Antarctic Center.
Antarctica is a cold place in the world where you would probably die if you are only wearing 1 layer of clothing. Antarctica is the coldest, iciest, biggest, driest and whitest continent in the world . It is also known as the Icy desert.
When you go to Antarctica you have to where at least 4 layers of special clothing because it is freezing cold. The coldest temperature in Antarctica is -89.2 C and the hottest temperature in Antarctica is -17.5 C. 90% of the world's freshwater is in Antarctica. The first person to explore Antarctica was Roald Amundsen and the first person to discover Antarctica was Captain James Cook and his crew. James cook and his crew sailed around the Antarctic circle on a boat. There are about 4,000 people who go to Antarctica in the Summer and about 1,000 people in winter each year.
Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent. It is located in the South Pole. It's almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle. Around Antarctica is the Southern Ocean.
