Scientific Data 📈

Today, we started Case Study 2 – Science. This will support us in answering our guiding question: How can we protect our wonderful world? During our first lesson, we looked at a range of data about Svalbard and discussed what this told us. We were shocked to discover just how much things are changing due to climate change and the impact this has on Svalbard.

Book Talk 📚🗣️

Today in book talk, we delved deeper into our text for this week – Wailing Winnie’s Carboot Sale. We used our fastest finger first skills and had a think in our pairs to find the answers to some questions related to the text. We loved reading about Winnie accidentally selling her husband’s pair of old, smelly trainers and the mission she had to go on to get them back.

Hooking in to Case Study 3

This morning, we had a video from our school office from the cameras in school. We’d had some visitors last night in our classroom…A group of gingerbread people had snuck through our class and are hiding somewhere in school! We worked out that the next book that we will be looking at is the Gingerbread Man! We read through the story and joined in with the familiar phrases. We are really excited to explore the story and to answer the guiding question, ‘How can we help the gingerbread man to cross the river?’

Classifying animals 🐟🐸🐍🐄🐧

Today in our science lesson we learnt the different classifications for animals, they are:

Birds 🐧

Amphibians 🐸

Reptiles 🐍

Mammals 🐄

Fish 🐟

We learnt that each of the different classes had warm or cold blood, webbed feet, could breathe under water, had fur or hair, dry skin and wings. This is how we were able to classify them into groups.
