Happy Feet - The Emperor Penguin

One of the literacy groups in Room 3 has been reading about Happy Feet. About 2 paragraphs into the text, we were filled with questions. Some of our questions were: 

Why was he eating sand? Thimeth
Did he die of natural causes? Zach
Why did he leave Antarctica in the first place? Jasper
Did he leave with others, or come to NZ alone? Ashwini
Did he intend to go to NZ? Timmy
Will this happen again? Mahgen
What happened at home (Antarctica) while he was gone? Freya

Some of our questions were answered in the article, some of them weren't. Below are a collection of interesting videos on the journey of Happy Feet, the Emperor Penguin. Maybe the answers to some of our other questions may be answered in these videos? Watch and find out...

We also had a discussion about the pros and cons of euthanising Happy Feet, letting him die of natural causes or taking him off the beach and treating him at a vet.

  2. I found out that happy feet was nearly 2,000 miles from home and he might be crazy or disoriented
