ANTARCTICA



Our Inquiry this term is 'Antarctica.' As a school we are starting to think Globally. So how are our actions affecting the world around us?
Our 'big idea' is that people's behaviours at home can influence places far away.

Today all the Year 3 and 4's went into Room 7 to look at some photos of Antarctica. We did a KWL chart (this stands for what I KNOW, want I WANT to know and what I LEARNT) to help us start thinking about this big idea.

We had some great questions which got us thinking about what it must be like in Antarctica. Some of our questions were: How are icebergs made? Why is it so cold in Antarctica? Can you live in Antractica? How do the animals survive when it is so cold? What animals live there? What lives under the ice? Why are there no polar bears in Antarctica?
