2P have been Scientists today by using their observational skills to conduct a survey. We took part in the RSPB’s Big School Bird Watch and spent time looking and identifying different bird species. We will submit our data to be used in the national survey. We were surprised by how many birds we saw considering how cold it was. Wood Pigeon were definitely the most common!

Today we created a story map of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. The children were able to retell the story as we went along and decide what picture we should draw.
Charlotte and Edith then created their own fantastic story map by cutting out pictures and sticking the, on, and then fantastically re told the story using it. They also did some beautiful handwriting to write their names on it, well done girlies you are amazing!

Fun and active ways to practise times tables proved a hit this afternoon. It’s amazing how competitive the usually quite ones were…you know who you are people! Well done and keep practising those multiplication facts at home too. Perhaps you could challenge others at home like we did with each other today? Let’s get those minutes and scores up on TT!

We have been in awe this afternoon when we visited Svalbard via GoogleMeet! Joanna (our expert speaker) works as a biologist for an amazing organisation called Polar Bears International. She told us so much about polar bears and their habitat – helping us to build real-life background knowledge. She is currently working on a really important project about polar bear and human cohabitation. We aim to help her organisation towards the end of our expedition by making a monetary donation. You can find out more about them on their website: https://polarbearsinternational.org/
It was one of my favourite moments so far this school year when children started getting out of their seats and as close to the screen and Joanna as they could. Everyone started the session sat at a table then slowly but surely, more and more crept closer and closer to her. They were enraptured!
Thank you, Joanna!

In todays crew, we discussed what an emotional rollercoaster is and how emotions can affect behaviour! #LovePlover
Today in Maths, we noticed that any number divided by itself always equals 1. We also noticed that the quotient (answer) of a division question will be the same as the dividend (the amount that will be divided) if our divisor (what we divide by) is 1.
Well done everyone – some great links made today. I wonder if you can apply today’s fluency to tomorrow’s reasoning and problem solving…

We have been so lucky today to meet a real-life polar bear scientist in a live online call.
Joanna really brought our expedition to life today, when she talked to us about her job studying polar bears and telling us about how they live on the arctic ice.
Continue readingWe have been thinking a lot about our emotions and learning new words to describe them.
Today in crew, we thought about the times when we have have felt proud, delighted, upset and angry. To show our understanding we played the ‘corners game’ and listened to the scenario and decided which emotion the person in the scenario was feeling. We enjoyed it so much and were so good at it that some of the children even shared a scenario for us to guess the emotion they felt. Tommy was really angry and upset when his toy dinosaur got broken.
