A Very Beary Week

It was a short week at school but it was super busy! We took an imaginary trip to Churchill, Manitoba and travelled up there by train. It took over two days to get there. When we got there, we walked around town and saw Hudson Bay. There were a lot of rocks and not a lot of trees. We saw the school and noticed that Churchill has a Royal Bank and a Post Office, just like we do. There weren't a lot of cars and hardly any roads. You can only get to Churchill by plane or by train. Or if you have a lot of time, you could go by ship.

We took the information we learned about Churchill and we wrote a fiction story about us visiting there. Brandi wrote about going bird watching at 5:00 in the morning. Yikes! Isaiah wrote about going whale watching to see the belugas. Stella wrote about seeing a polar bear but walking away. In Kadyn's adventure, Angel almost got into a fight with a polar bear. Angel wrote that a polar bear was behind Mrs. Pilat and Mrs. Pilat ran away screaming. AHHHHHHH!  It was fun writing our stories.

We also researched polar bears by watching videos and reading facts on the iPads. We read an amazing book called, Winston of Churchill: One Bear's Battle Against Global Warming. It was a great book where we learned about how global warming affects polar bears. In it, polar bears protest to make change.  We then talked about how we can help polar bears. We also became polar bears and wrote a letter asking people to help keep us safe. This project isn't done this and will continue next week.
