Patagonia & South America
3rd Feb 2023
6th class used January to virtually relocate south of the Equator.
We studied the landscape and culture of South America, focusing on the unique beauty of Patagonia.
Patagonia sits at the very tip of South America crossing the borders of Argentina and Chile.
El Chaltén is the National Capital of Trekking in Argentina. We recreated a landscape scene of the stunning Mount Fitzroy for art.
To learn even more we worked in groups to research a country in South America and present to the class. It is fun to learn from our classmates too!
