To go with the barnacle goose hat!

We found objects in the school grounds and made up stories about them.

We brought our objects inside and had a practice at telling the stories about our objects. The children have come up with some great ideas, and have even worked in pairs to put some objects together to make joined-up stories. Hopefully they will get chance to video some of these stories to put on the blog later in the week.

In the meantime,  here are the photos of the children with their objects – can you guess what their stories will be?

Hi Everyone,

Miss Brockie-Donald’s gift of the adopted polar bear still needs a name. We have had lots of suggestions, so in the hub today we narrowed the names down with a vote, and now the vote is open to everyone.  There was the question of whether it is a boy or a girl, but we decided it can be either.

So, here are the names to vote on:

Cosmo                               Snowy

Bob                                       Milo

Please cast your votes in the reply section below.  (Or you can always email if you’d like to vote anonymously.)

 

This afternoon I will read TIMMY ON THE TOILET.

I have been playing keyboard games on mums computer and it helps me find letters.

I’ve been learning-or trying to Learn at least- horrible history’s monarch song and the tricky part is the chorus it goes like this:

William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two
Then three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary one, good Queen Bess
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
George, George, George, George
Will, Victoria

Victoria,Victoria,Victoria!

Today I have been doing more fractions and adding big numbers, the ones where I had to carry the ten across took me longer but it’s the first time I’ve done them and mum said I did well.
I am now going to type my own blog then do some reading.

Hey everybody. Today I did some five a day and some algebra. I found it a bit hard to find the percentage of something. So I’ll have to work on them with my mum. Think we are going to go for a walk with our dog Lily to get some fresh air. Bye Esmae

Daniel and Gabriella have made Arctic dioramas. Daniel built a vehicle that will work in the Arctic, to go into his diorama.  Daniel took the photos of the dioramas.

Here is a picture from our kitchen wall. I don’t know what they are eating. Do you know? thank you

I’ve re-written the paragraph about Arctic Animals and how climate change is affecting them.

Many different living animals or plants respond differently to climate change. Some animals react quickly and change things such as behaviour. Others change things they do slowly to cope with the changes. Animals that live in the Arctic have already got to cope with difficult weather so climate change problems make it extra difficult for them. Climate change is making different animals move to areas of the arctic they wouldn’t usually live. This affects the animals that are already living there as they aren’t used to sharing their home with those animals.

The amount of birds in the Arctic is getting less each day because of climate change. Birds go to the Arctic to nest because there aren’t many predators. However now that the ice is melting and there’s more green land the number of predators is going up and birds are having their eggs stolen more often. Birds are migrating to the Arctic earlier because of temperature change.

The change in temperature is making icy layers in the snow which makes it hard for reindeer to feed. This means they will starve and more will die.

You can only find polar bears in the Arctic. This means climate change can make them go extinct. Every part of a polar bear’s life has been affected. They hunt on the sea ice for seals and this is melting, making polar bears go hungry. Changes in the snow changes how they can breed. Polar bears are at the biggest risk from all these changes.
