Geography
Today we have learnt which animals live in Antarctica and which animals live in the arctic circle. We found out that penguins live in Antarctica and the bottom of the world and polar bears live in the Arctic at the top of the world. We organised other animals like reindeers, killer whales and elk’s and seals.
In Crew Shields this afternoon, we have been sketching images based around global warming which will be used towards our final product.
Crew MW had an exciting walk around our local environment on Friday. We spent our walk looking out for buildings in the village that we recognised, local places that people work and we spotted signs of spring. We had lots of fun exploring!
To kickstart our new writing unit, based on the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, for our experience lesson we discussed what we knew about penguins and predicted what the book would be about based on the front cover. We also watched an interesting video all about different types of penguins! Did you know there is a Fairy Penguin that lives in Australia! 
In today’s geography lesson we compared different places in the UK with places in Africa. We looked at Zanzibar, Madagascar and Johannesburg and thought about the similarities and differences with Beeley, London and Skegness. We then used what we had learnt to work in mini crews to create a script which we then recorded to make a video. We hope you enjoy it!
In today’s geography lesson we compared different places in the Uk with places in Africa, we looked at Zanzibar, Madagascar and Johannesburg. We were very good at looking at the similarities and differences with Beeley, London and Skegness. We compared the human and physical features whilst noticing many different things.
We noticed Madagascar and Beeley were similar because they both had trees and grass but Madagascar did not have any buildings. We also noticed that the shape of the trees different and we couldn’t not see any roads in Madagascar.

This afternoon we completed our last geography lesson for this case study. We were using our reading skills to skim and scan information about Svalbard to find some key information.
Yesterday afternoon, we looked in more detail at the physical and human features of the UK. It was lovely seeing all the natural beauties we have in the UK. Once children has sorted them, we did a gallery walk to see if we agreed with the grouping of others.
Today KS1 had lots of special visitors. Lucan from Reptile Rendezvous brought in lots of different animals for us to learn about and we were even luck enough to hold and feed them too!
