This afternoon we learned more about the Arctic by watching the Magic School Bus goes to the Arctic. Some of the facts we learned were that:
* Igloos trap heat.
* Blubber (fat) keeps animals warm.
* Fur helps to insulate animals.
We were challenged to build an igloo using mini marshmellows around a dome shape. It took perseverance!
We will continue to work on this project since many have only build a few layers.
In the morinng we sorted sentences about the Arctic based on whether they were facts or opinions. Then we wrote our own ideas organizing them as facts or opinions.
Some ideas were:
Fact: Hawaii has volcanoes.
Opinion: Pink is the prettiest colour.
