MAGELLANIC PENGUINS are found only in southern SOUTH AMERICA. They are named after explorer Ferdinand Magellan who first saw the birds in 1520 on one of his expeditions. Magellanic penguins have two black bands between their head and stomach. Their wings are stiff so that they can use them to swim underwater.   Our Year 6 children created these sensational watercolour penguins over two lessons, after watching a video about these fascinating birds, they using photographs to do observational drawings before mixing colours to paint them.  As you can see, the results are magnificent!
