How have camels adapted to their environment?

Image result for camel



Camels have adapted to the desert because Camels normally live in a hot area.  Did you know in the desert it can get up to 42 degrees of heat? This is probably why camels can drink up to 46 Liters of water in one session.

The extreme heat makes the sand very hot so on their feet camels have special pads that help them walk on the hot sand they also have webbed between their toes to help them walk easily. Camels have doubled eyelashes and has ears that are covered in long hair. The Eyelashes and ears help so sand cannot go in their eyes or ears. Nostrils can close so sand can’t go into their nose.

Camels have thick lips that will help them eat sharp foods like thorns, cactus, twigs, and bones. In the Cactus they produce water.

Camels can survive without drinking water for 30 days. Camels also have thick fur for the shade that is on top of their hump. In the Camel's hump, they have fat. Fat helps them helps them have energy when they can’t find food.

Nowadays camels still have adapted to a very hot and dry desert. The desert has no water, but in the cactus, they produce water for the camel's hump.

How Children Learn at School - Explanation writing

How Children Learn at School


Do you remember when you were a child and copying your friends or teacher by observing, you asked questions because you are curious, and took risks in school to learn? Learning is having courage to ask questions, so that you are able to make connections with your what you are talking about. Learning is important since you are growing your knowledge.


Children are good observers, they are able to watch and learn new skills. By watching, they are increasing the amount of knowledge they have. Children look up to role models so they can see new ways that they could learn.


Children ask questions because they are eager to learn more. Children are interested in a topic, so they try to understand it more and so they ask for help from their classmates or teachers, to make connections with their learning.


Children take risks so they understand what they’re learning about, some of the risks are things like; asking questions, and asking students for help. Since they ask other people, they are looking at different perspectives which will help them explore different ideas.

Many people have different learning styles, some watch videos, some read, some people ask their elderlies like the teacher. To find your learning style, you have to find a way which makes you comfortable, like watching videos makes people comfortable because people are talking to you, with their opinions. You have to find something that makes sense to you. You could read, or even simply ask questions. Your learning style will help you understand, but everyone has different learning styles.

Today Learning space 2 were practising writing an explaination for our writing test. We had our own writing buddys, my writing buddys were Nazella and Hajera. Our topic was about "How Children Learn at school". Then we had to work with anothor group, we were working with Jericho and Christopher. They had to read our explaintion and we had to read thier explaintion. They gave us feedback and feedforward.

How the camel has adapted to surviving in the desert.

Camels live in deserts, which are hot and dry places. Camels have adapted to these conditions which means they are surviving without struggling.

To help them walk on the hot sand camels have special pads on their feet. They have also got webbed feet so that they can walk easily on the sand.

Camels have a hump. This is full of fat which helps them have energy when they can't find food. They have fur on their hump. This helps them keep cool in the day and warm in the night.

They have thick lips so they don't get hurt by sharp points when they eat bones, thorns and cactus plants.

Camels can drink about 46 litres of water in one session. Did you know that camels can live without water for 30 days? This is because they don't lose water by sweating in the heat.

The camel has double eyelashes, slits in their nostrils and fur in their ears so they are protected from the sand in a sand storm.

Camels have adapted and changed over time so they can survive in the hot, sandy desert.
