Good morning Year 5, hope you are all having a lovely week so far. I was thinking of how much of a pleasure it was to speak to so many of you on Monday and I look forward to checking in with you again soon.
So now you should have all watched Frozen Planet and answered the questions from the previous post. Now that we have a bit of knowledge about the Arctic we can start to understand why it is so crucial to the survival of our planet.
First, let's recap on what climate change is and touch on how the Arctic is being affected.
So what does climate change mean?
The climate of our planet is increasing, this means that the polar ice caps are melting.
The polar ice caps help to regulate (control) the earth's temperature.
If the ie caps melt, sea levels will rise.
Using the knowledge you already have from our core text Floodlands, can you name 2 effects of sea levels rising and post them in the comments section for us to discuss.
Sea levels rising means habitats will be destroyed and there will be lots of floods
ReplyDelete1. There will be less land.
ReplyDelete2. People will not have nowhere to stay, as their homes will be ruined.
Well done Tyon and Della! You are very correct. Which areas do you think will be underwater the quickest? - Miss Oner
