Years 3 and 4 were lucky enough to join a live, online lesson yesterday to build our background knowledge of the world’s biomes. It was great to see how much our children have learnt about the Arctic during this expedition.
I wonder if your child can tell you something new that they learnt from this opportunity.

SAVE OUR SEAS! In geography today we learnt about the Mariana Trench which is the deepest part of the ocean on Earth. Sadly, pollution is having a huge impact on our oceans and sea creatures! We discussed and explored how we need to stop single use plastic, recycle and reuse. The children created some powerful posters! #LovePlover
4H have worked in small production teams to research the geographical and human features of Svalbard – an archipelago of islands at the heart of our current expedition. They will use this information to write a comparison between Svalbard and South Yorkshire.
Fabulous teamwork today folks, well done!

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!

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 reading3GS worked really hard researching the County of South Yorkshire. They used images to make predictions and then used the internet to look up facts that they turned into a presentation that they shared with the class.
We are proud of how they worked in collaborative groups to complete the research and then how they had the confidence to stand in front of the class and speak. Really kind, specific and helpful critique was then shared by the class.
Well done guys.
