Hi everyone.
I got my Sumdog challenge finished and I feel like I’m getting a good handle on the algebra. As part of my big Thursday I went roller blading for exercise. My mum is going to email a video to the school for the teachers to see as I decided I didn’t really want to post it up on the blog. I got the roller blades for Christmas and I’m slowly getting more confident in them 🙂
We watched the second episode of Perfect Planet and Mum asked us to write down our 3 facts that we learned at the end.
Wolves hunt musk ox by trying to single one out from the herd. If they aren’t successful they will move on the arctic hares, which aren’t very easy to catch either.
Silver desert ants have 5 minutes to find food before the heat kills them. They run from their underground burrow and race to find something that has already died from the heat to take back to their home.
Shearwater birds make one of the biggest migrations in the world travelling from New Zealand to Alaska. They fatten themselves up before flying as once they set off they don’t see dry land for a very long time.
I also took a look at inuits and their igloos and modern housing. I drew a diagram of each. I read all the links provided. I found it shocking the lack of daylight at certain times of the year. I also wanted to understand the igloo better as I was confused how it would be warm when it was made of hard snow. I found a good video on YouTube that fully explained it. Here it is incase you would like to learn about it too 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L7EI0vKVuU&list=LLn2MbM0abmGb7ZyNptyndtw&index=653
Hope everyone is safe and well.
