What will you discover about our World and yourself?

to look for bears when we went on a bear hunt in the woods.

songs about bears!

R1 I liked having my bear to read to, bears listen!

We used collage materials to create jungle explorer and

space explorer bears.

I made a space explorer bear.

Philip

We explored Kingfisher Island and had snacks around

the campfire.

Class 1.1 exploring the Arctic!

I think the tin foil will be the best insulator to

keep the hot water warm because it is

metal and it will keep the heat in more than the thin orange fabric.

Max

I loved learning how to make a fire and about the different materials you can use to make a fire. I enjoyed eating marshmallows. Lewis

We wrote a story about visiting the Arctic. We acted

out the story with Miss Adams.

I learnt to give it a go, and keep

on trying.

We learnt about fire safety and how to start a fire with a

flint and steel.Amber & Iskren

For our STEM project, Year 3 designed and built their own boats using modelling clay. They had to keep re-designing to make them float & have see how many passengers they could take. Lots of resilience was needed!

4.1 We learnt how to make fires using flint and then

we got to toast marshmallows.

We had to get the tyres from one end to the other without touching the ground. We had to work really

well as a team.

For our STEM project, Year 4 learnt about life cycles in the Artic. We then used the information we found out to create a life cycle web.

We wrote our instructions for our teddies so that they could survive in the

wild.

We shared our books with 1.1.

Class 4.2 really enjoyed their story swap with their bears and the Reception 2 class.“I was really enjoyable.”“They asked me lots of questions.”“We had to make the story out of the pictures!”“They are really good listeners.”“They loved playing with our teddies.”

In year 4 we learnt about

what organisms live in the

Arctic, and what they would eat.We made food mobiles to show this as a food

web!

We had fun writing a persuasive advert for an

Arctic, Polar cruise.

We enjoyed a story swap with Year 1-2

Class 6.1 took an adventure to Antarctica with Ernest Shackleton on board his ship ‘Endurance’.

We also had a wonderful adventure with the Mini Marines. We learned about working as a team and the importance of listening to each other.

Bring your teddy to school!

It was just great seeing everyone bring a teddy! It was funny

riding to school on my scooter with him!

Dylan

Ernest Shackleton has been great to

learn about as he is an inspiration

demonstrating that anything is possible!

Jack

I really enjoyed the mini-marines because

it was very fun and interesting. I felt

surprised and elated when I won the hat!

Maja

Year 6.2 joined Ernest Shackleton’s crewOn board ship Endurance.

In year 6 we learnt about Ernest Shackleton and the perilous journey he took in 1914 to sail to Antarctica.

We then wrote our own persuasive letters of application to become one of the crew members on

board the ship Endurance after completing a conscience alley as to whether or not we should go.

We had to consider what clothing, equipment and food that we would take

on the journey and stick to a budget.

“STEM and Mini Marines was amazing. It gave us a chance to work on our teamwork and social skills.” Dyllis

“Amazing, wonderful, brilliant, superb!” Tye

“The Mini Marines was amazing and exciting. My favourite part was the inflatable because there was lots of teamwork and lots of fun

included. Thank you!” Anna
