Penguins!

In room 8 we have been learning all about PENGUINS! We have done lots of fun activities. Here are some of the things we've done:


We have been watching penguins on a live penguin camera! You can see them too!

We made penguins out of clay - KE
Then we made them a habitat with clouds, snow, icebergs, and water. - KH and Room 8

We read lots of penguin books so we can learn about penguins - KN

We practiced walking with an egg on our feet. It was much easier when we had a "brood patch."

We measured to see if we were as tall as the Emperor Penguin - MS


We used water-colour paints and salt to make a beautiful sky. We cut out shapes to make cute little penguins.  - AD


We made a blubber glove to learn how blubber keeps penguins warm - Room 8

We learned how wax keeps penguins dry in the cold water. - AR


We made a chart to keep track of all the things we are learning. We even had to write on the back! - Room 8

We can't wait to learn more about penguins!
