Mummy Penguin

[Lorrine Hatala]

We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.

Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

Amidst the snowy Antarctic landscape, Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense as Mummy swims through the icy waters, climbs the perilous cliffs and tiptoes past some grumpy, just-awakened seals. Can she do it? Well done, Mummy Penguin!

With a nod to the fascinating nature of penguin parenting, Well Done, Mummy Penguin is a brand new stage adaptation of the latest picture book from award-winning writer and illustrator Chris Haughton, and an irresistible ode to family bonds and incredible parents everywhere.

Review: Aw, this is such a fun picture book which is a perfect celebration of mothers with a funny twist at the end! Mummy Penguin is off to get some food leaving Little Penguin with Daddy Penguin. As Little Penguin watches his mummy he sees her swimming to catch fish and then she braves the dangerous journey back to her baby, but will Mummy Penguin be able to get back and what will happen when she does? This hardback is bigger than A4 in size and is filled with thick matt pages of illustrations and some text.

As you paint in circles, your blue may be getting darker and that is okay, that is what we want! Continue loading primary blue to your brush. Paint in smooth circles as you go the the edge of the canvas.

Rinse your brush then add just primary blue. This will allow the blue to get lighter without black being on the brush. Continue adding primary blue and curving the colors in the same direction as you work towards the left of the canvas.

For added color variation, you can add a bit of titanium white to your brush and also thin it out a bit with water to get it to flow better. If you notice your brush is getting very dry at this point, you may wish to dip it in the water (but no dripping paint).

I used a #4 bright brush for this step. Start with titanium white and paint a spiral line starting from the moon and working your way in a spiral as you reach the canvas on the right. Tip: there was not a lot of white on my brush when I did this. It dried out as I went in this spiral adding to the effect of it looking translucent. Also it blended in with the blue that was already on the canvas.

Both you and your child will love this step! Use an old toothbrush. First dip it in water then pat it dry. The toothbrush should be wet but not dripping. Then dip it in the titanium white. Depending on how thick your paint is, you may need to water the white down a bit. Mine was an ink consistency when I did this. Flick the brush so little white splatters get all over the sky!

Then paint light blue permanent on the bottom of the canvas and blend up into the snow. Do this by dipping your not rinsed brush of titanium white into light blue permanent. Lightly paint on the bottom. Then gradually add more titanium white by painting from the bottom to the top. The horizon line should be the lightest white and the bottom should be light blue.

Adding a little bit of titanium white to the brush when painting the scarf will give that dark red a bit of color variation. I also let the paint brush stroke dry out as it reached the tips of the scarf.

Mix primary blue and titanium white (about equal parts) to make a light blue. Use your #4 round brush to paint wavy skate lines. It may also help to water this down slightly to get it to flow better for these lines.

viewed your penguin pic. our three adult daughters and husbands coming home for Christmas and we are going to do an at home wine and canvas. this looks fun! we will let you know how it turns out. thank you!

The sight was pretty surprising as there have been no records of an active penguin colony in this region since it was first laid eyes upon by Robert Falcon Scott and his team of explorers at the start of the 20th century.

Radiocarbon dating of the remains later revealed that these carcasses were extremely old, despite their youthful appearance, dating from three periods beginning 5,000 years ago and the most recent being 800 years ago.

The main reason the penguin mummies are currently springing out of the ground is the warming temperatures associated with climate change. The annual temperature of this region near the Ross Sea has increased by up to 2C (35.6F) since the 1980s, resulting in a huge loss of ice that's revealing relics from times gone by.

"This recent snowmelt revealing long-preserved remains that were frozen and buried until now is the best explanation for the jumble of penguin remains of different ages that we found there," Emslie commented.

A similar problem is unfolding on the other side of the planet in the Arctic, a part of the world that's warming three times as fast as the global average. As a result of thawing permafrost, all kinds of things from the distant past are emerging, including nasty pathogens and frozen creatures.

Scenes like this are common around Antarctica's Ross Sea, which is home to millions of Adlies and other thriving penguin populations. Still, the sight at Cape Irizar puzzled biologist Steve Emslie, a professor at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, when he visited in January 2016; he knew that Adlie penguins hadn't been spotted there in hundreds of years. Where had the remains of this ghostly colony suddenly materialized from?

Now, in a study published Sept. 18 in the journal Geology, Emslie offers an answer. A radiocarbon analysis of bones, eggshells and mummified skin samples collected at the site reveals that the seemingly fresh penguin remains at Cape Irizar are actually hundreds to thousands of years old. According to Emslie, the site has been occupied by breeding penguin colonies at least three times over the past 5,000 years, but the dessicated evidence of those occupations only just came to light, thanks to increasingly rapid snowmelt during Antarctica's ever-hotter summers.

"In all the years I've been working in the Antarctic, I've never seen a site like this before," Emslie told Live Science. "Mummies won't last on the surface in this windy area unless they've just been exposed."

Cape Irizar, deep in southern Antarctica along the frigid Ross Sea, is different. Average temperatures are much colder there, Emslie said, and global warming in the region has been less severe. Within the last decade, however, "streamlets" of meltwater have begun flowing from nearby glaciers, flushing away snow cover and exposing the rocky ground beneath, Emslie said.
