Is it hot in here or is it just the Kalahari desert? Students in Miss Caputo's Year 8 HASS class have been learning about landscapes and landforms - beginning the unit with various desert types, what makes a location a desert, and how flora and fauna survive in harsh conditions.

Students played a flora and fauna memory game; the cards feature specific examples of plants and animals and their position on the food chain. Students had to use their numerical skills as well as their knowledge on the desert biome in order to be successful and take home the metaphorical 'golden sand dune'.
