Over the past two weeks, we have been very busy learning about penguins. Here are some of the things that we learned:
Ryan, Ben and Oliver -Penguins slide on their tummies.
Braedan and Alex- Penguins have webbed feet.
Aiden - Penguins have blubber to keep them warm when they dive into the icy cold water.
Maddy and Maddox - They have flippers.
Natalie - Penguins keep their eggs on the top on their feet in their brood pouch.
Liam - Penguins have waterproof feathers.
Wyatt and Violet- Penguins like to eat fish and krill.
Trent - We learned how to do a penguin dance.
Sarah - Penguins can glide.
Charlotte - They swim in cold water.
Blake - The penguins webbed feet help them slide. Their feet push the penguin forward.
Kael - Penguins have chicks.

| Making Penguin Patterns |
 |
| We went outside and got lots of snow. Then we put water in the snow to make icy cold water. We felt the water and thought we would not like to go swimming in icy cold water. We tried on a blubber glove. Our hands stayed nice and warm. Blubber helps penguins stay warm. |
 |
| We learned that penguins have water proof feather. We used wax to keep our penguins water proof. |
 |
| We are putting goldfish on icebergs. We had to roll two dice and add the numbers together. Then we go to eat the goldfish. |
 |
| We are trying to keep our egg on our feet like a penguin does. It was hard until we got to wear a pillow as a brood pouch. Then it was easy! |
This is how we showed our learning. We made our own non-fiction book about penguins that will go in our Daily 5 book boxes.
Another favourite thing we did this week was learning the Penguin Dance. You can listen to the song and watch the dance here.
