Pond Habitats 🐸🐟

23rd February 2024Joshua Meade

Yesterday we looked at habitats for fish and amphibians. We made sure our ‘pond habitat’ had fresh, clean, calm water. As well as lilypads, rocks, green leaves, sticks, branches and water plants, along with some sand and soil at the bottom.

Stop Polluting Our Oceans 🌊

23rd February 2024Joshua Meade

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

3GS looking at environmental science

20th February 2024Mr Schofield

Today, 3GS discussed how human activity is causing the destruction of Arctic animal habitats.

We then wrote in our books about how this is caused, and what will happen if animal habitats are not protected.

I was proud of how hard everyone worked and the improvement to handwriting. Well done guys, the practice is paying off!

Little Twitchers!

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!

Habitat builders!

1st February 2024Mr Pickering

2P have been learning about woodland habitats. We used our knowledge of the layers of woodlands to recreate a habitat scene from natural materials. We tried to include the forest floor and winter trees. We even attempted to make animals and birds from the materials around us!

We have met a real-life polar bear expert!

31st January 2024Mrs Haycock

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!

Woodland Habitats

31st January 2024Joshua Meade

In expedition we were scientists and explored collecting different natural woodland to make our own habitat – can you spot the fox, birds and insects? #LovePlover
