Is there life in the Polar Regions?

English
Linking in with our topic- Frozen Planets the children have been researching What they would like to find out.  They have used books, the internet and documentaries to identify different facts about the Polar Regions. We are all learning some very interesting facts about life and animals in the Arctic and Antarctica.

            Did you know…
The Arctic Bridge is 6,700 km long and links Russia and Canada.
The coldest temperature ever recorded is -89 degrees.
The Arctic caterpillar freezes over the winter and his heart stops, only to come back to life in the summer months. WOW!!
                       





Phonics
This week we played phonics bingo to ensure that children are familiar with and confident with the phonics we have learnt so far this year. We had fun!




Maths
Continuing to developing measuring using ‘mm’, ‘cm’ and ‘m’ as our unit of measure. We have carried out an investigation into the length and height of many items in our classroom- the children work as a team to identify measurements of snow and winter clothes.

 We have been amazed to find out some of the heights and lengths of Polar animals.

Fact we found out this week…
Did you know a Polar Bear could be 3m tall and the weight of 10 men?
Did you know a Killer Whale is 7m long? That is around the same length as our classroom.
