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.
Topic
Continuing with Frozen Planet, we have research life in the Polar
Regions and answered many of our questions.
