Antarctica Information Report

W.A.L.T: Create 2 pieces of writing about the topic you have chosen.
I have been learning about weather and climate and this is my information report.

    The White Continent
             Antarctica is the coldest,whitest, most amazing place on earth.
Some people go there to study the life cycles of animals. It is a very interesting place.

The climate of Antarctica is the coldest on Earth! The lowest air temperature was on the 21st of July 1983. The temperature was -89.2 C. This is very cold compared to what we get!
Antarctica is so dry that scientists believe that it is a desert! It hardly ever rains in Antarctica. Antarctica is fascinating. Most of the snow that we see isn't just falling it is getting blown around in the wind.                                                                         
Antarctica has katabatic winds just like us but… when we have katabatic winds they come from the mountains and give us warmth. In Antarctica they come from the mountains that are covered in  ice and brings bone-chilling cold.
Antarctica is 25% bigger than Europe. It is the least polluted of all continents. Antarctica is bigger than New Zealand by about 40,000 sq. miles.
Antarctica has two main areas, East Antarctica and West Antarctica. They are separated by the mountains. West Antarctica is the smallest of both of them, because of all the ice Antarctica is the highest out of all the continents.
Subantarctic - WikipediaIn my opinion Antarctica is a one of a kind extraordinary place to be in. I also think that it is very cold . I would love to go there someday and find out what it is like to be there.

  1. Hey Phoebe Its Jaimie from St Bernadette's School, Hornby. This work is amazing Phoebe, I like the way you have laid out the structure of your writing and how you would like to go to Antarctica one day. Next time you could explain some of the descriptive language in your writing like katabatic winds. Other than that its amazing writing and I'm looking forward to your next post.

  2. Great effort Phoebe. This is a well written information report. You have added detail that kept me interested in what you had written and I couldn't wait to see what you had written next. I like the fact that you created an image of your own to support your work. Well done.
