Antarctica

Antarctica

Fossils of plants and ancient dinosaurs found in Antarctica show the continent once had a warm climate.  Trees and plants grew there before the land drifted towarss the frozen south pole.  This took millions of years.

Now Antarctica is the world's most windiest and coldest region with ice 5kg thick in parts.  Some recorded wind speeds are over 300 km/h stronger than most cyclones.

Thousands of beautiful sea and penguins feed in the oceans around Antarctica but no land animals live on the continent.  We can see only tiny insects and not one green tree.

Only scientists and other workers live in this huge area of land.  Each year thousands of tourists visit the warmer parts in planes or ships.  We hope they don't spoil this  large part of the world.

Pathfinders Walkathon

Pathfinder Walkathon

This animoto talks about the Pathfinders Walk during the last school holiday. This walk was for the pathfinders to raise money for themselves for our trip to Australia at the start of next year.

My Science Project

Here are my 4 posters on the eight planets in the galaxy. In science we are given this as our homework and to find out facts about each planet and what is the interesting fact that I learnt in all of it, for example, Uranus is well known as the giant gas planet in the universe and that Neptune suffers the most violent weathers in our solar system.
