Warming up and cooling down

Matariki

Matariki is a star cluster that rises during the freezing cold months of winter. Between the start of May and the beginning of June. There are 500 but you can only see seven which are known as the seven sisters.
 

The Maori used it to show what kind of harvest it will be like. Like if the stars are shining bright that means it will be a good crops to eat and if the stars are blurry and dim that means it will be cold and there won’t be enough 

crops. 

The Maori ancestors used them as well as other stars and signs. They navigate across the pacific Ocean to new Zealand. They also show the Maori new year.

Emperor penguins feeding

Today I watched a movie about Emperor penguin’s going out to feed.

Th female penguin goes out to sea to find food for her chick and the scientist  come to see how they dive out to sea and come back to their nest.

scientists come to Antarctica to see how Emperor penguins catch their food.

They put  water proof camera on their back to see what happened in the water. The

Emperor penguin’s catch their food with their beck. They also can swim very fast and can turn better turn better.

 If the ice is to high for them to jump the leopard seal will try and make a trap for the Emperor penguin’s. If the Emperor penguin fall’s over the leopard seal will act fast to catch it’s prey. But if the  leopard seal get’s distracted  or lose’s his grip and let’s go of  the Emperor penguin it will waddle away back to his chick if he does not get there in time the chick might die but the injured  penguin looks for her chick call’s her and chick and they lived happily ever after....or did they?
