Where do polar bears live? Polar bears Polar bears live in the Arctic region They need cold temperatures, ice, and snow to live They mostly eat seals Polar bears are in danger of dying because the ice is melting. We must always take care of the environment to help stop this from happening.
In the north of Canada, people use huskies as a means of transport. The Inuit people choose 8 to 12 dogs to form a dogsled team and use them to travel from place to place
The Ogopogo • The Ogopogo is a famous sea monster that lives in Okanagan Lake in British Columbia • Many people have said they have seen the monster but no one has taken a good picture of him... Do you think he’s real?
Weather • Canada has VERY cold winters! There’s always lots of snow. The temperature is usually -20°C but sometimes reaches -60°C. Brrrrr.
...sometimes there is TOO MUCH snow! In 2004, the province of Newfoundland got this much snow in February!
Summer • Canada also has very warm summers. In July and August, many people travel ‘up north’ to their cottages to relax and go swimming
Sports • The most popular sport in Canada is ice hockey. In 2010 Canada won the gold medal in ice hockey in the Winter Olympics when Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal. Canada went crazy.
Canadians also love basketball. Basketball was invented by a Canadian named James Naismith. Jose Calderon, who is from Spain, plays for the Toronto Raptors. • We also love baseball too! Lots of kids play baseball (and soccer!) in the summer.
Food • The most popular kind of food in Canada is called poutine I think it’s DISGUSTING
We also eat: Nanaimo bars Maple Syrup And drink our milk from a bag Beaver tails
Native Americans Native Americans were the first people to live in Canada There are many different groups of Native Americans that believe in different things. Each group is called a ‘tribe’ Today, Native Americans live like the rest of Canadians but still practice their own traditions. One example is the pow wow:
In the past, some Native Americans lived in houses called tipis, made from sticks and the skin of an animal. In the Arctic, some Native Americans lived in igloos, made from snow and ice.
The Hockey Song Hello out thereWe're on the airIt's hockey night tonightTension growsThe whistle blowsAnd the puck goes down the iceThe goalie jumpsAnd the players bump And the fans all go insaneSomeone roars“Bobby scores!"At the good old hockey gameOh the good old hockey gameIs the best game you can nameAnd the best game you can nameIs the good old hockey game(Second period)Where players dashWith skates a-flashThe home team trails behindBut they grab the puckAnd go bursting upAnd they're down across the lineThey storm the creaseLike bumblebeesThey travel like a burning flameWe see them slideThe puck insideIt's a 1-1 hockey game The Hockey Song
Oh the good old hockey gameIs the best game you can nameAnd the best game you can nameIs the good old hockey game(Third period, last game of the playoffs too)Oh take me whereThe hockey playersFaceoff down the rinkAnd the Stanley CupIs all filled upFor the chance to win the drinkNow the final flickOf a hockey stickAnd a one gigantic screamThe puck is inThe home team winsThe good old hockey game
Thank you for listening! Je vous remercie de m'avoir écouté!
