Writing sentences about Habitats
Writing sentences about Habitats
Ms Svetlana's Year 3 pupils wrote sentences in pairs about the different habitats explored together in class.
My students did some drawings and looked for images without copyright about penguin's habitats.
They read that the majority of penguins are between 45º S and 60ºS.
Penguins generally live on islands and remote continental regions free from land predators. Usually they are near nutrient-rich, cold-water currents that provide an abundant supply of food.

Penguins live in the sea because they are seabirds adapted to the aquatic environment. They are able to swim and dive in search of food. In addition, the sea provides a food source rich in nutrients, such as fish and krill, which are the mainstay of the penguins' diet.
Penguins are excellent swimmers, being able to reach speeds of up to 35 km/h in the water and diving to depths of up to 500 meters to capture prey.
Although penguins spend most of their lives at sea, they still need to go ashore to breed and raise their young. Most penguin species breed in colonies on islands and coastal areas, where they build nests and care for their young until they are ready to venture out to sea.
The number of chicks that penguins have varies from species to species.
Penguins are monogamous birds, forming pairs for reproduction. The pair work together to build a nest and incubate the eggs, which usually hatch after about 30 to 40 days. The young are fed the milk produced by the breast glands of the parents, and are cared for by both parents until they are ready to venture out to sea on their own.
