A journey through the story

26th January 2022Sophie Myers

Yesterday, Year 4 went on a magical arctic adventure through our book ‘The Last Bear’. We used the hall and made it dark, twinkly and COLD to create the experience of life in the arctic.

The Children read extracts and investigated images from the story and made inferences about what has happened so far. After visiting each station, they then left their responses on the paper to show their understanding of the text. We were all amazed with the amazing learning behaviours in the hall and the great reading that was taking place.

Look at the AWESOME responses that were made from the story – absolutely great learning and understanding of the text and our Expedition so far! We are super impressed.

Venn diagram animal sorting

Class 8 have been busy working with partners to understand the terminology of herbivore, carnivore and omnivore and then began to sort the animals into the correct category. Lots of fantastic discussions were had based on their current knowledge of a variety of animals.

Super expeditionary learning!

Crew Myers had a visit from some polar bears!

25th January 2022Sophie Myers

Yesterday, in Crew Myers we had a visit from some fantastic polar bears! The children used their knowledge of the story so far and made inferences from the text to take part in a hot seat activity. Our polar bears were so brave and could make links between the story and our expedition learning! I was super impressed with how in character everyone was, the amount of respect everyone had for each other and the excellent use of vocabulary throughout the activity!

After the hot seat, we then responded to a question making links between the characters and their feelings in the story and what is happening in Svalbard. I am so proud of my super stars! Well done everyone!

Climate change

This afternoon in Crew Jackson, we discussed the causes and effects of climate change. The children were really interested in finding out new information as well sharing what they already knew. It was really powerful to see how passionate some children are about helping our world survive!

Keep up the great work guys! Mrs Jackson
