Arctic questions for the British Museum staff

Good morning everyone!

You might remember looking at the picture or video about the parka that came from the Arctic. That was from the British Museum’s Arctic Exhibition.  A while ago I contacted the British Museum to ask if anyone was available from the Arctic Exhibition to do a live chat with Holywood Primary, but unfortunately many staff at the museum have been furloughed or are working from home due to Covid restrictions, so that is not possible.

However… the museum has said that if we would like to send any questions about the Arctic to the museum experts they will try and answer your questions.  They will either reply by email, or if they can record a video answer they will do that.  What a great opportunity to find out more about the Arctic from the experts!

In case you’d like a reminder about the parka, and if you would like to see the rest of the Arctic Exhibition at the British Museum, here is a link to the Exhibition web page:

Here’s your chance! Reply to this blog post with any questions you have about the Arctic for the British Museum experts, by Friday, and I will email your questions to the museum and let you have any answers as they come back to me.  They did say there may be a slight delay to the Covid situation, but they will answer your questions as best they can.

Hedgehogs and Woodpeckers

We decided to post a joint blog as we want to use the same pictures today.

We both did maths, spelling and project work on the timeline. Then we made chocolate hedgehogs. There are none left because they tasted amazing!!!!!!!

We went for our woodland walk. We saw a black, red and white woodpecker. We also heard him as he was pecking in one of the trees. We haven’t seen one so close before so are really pleased. We met Mrs Fraser and she was really nice.

After our walk, we did some exercises before going home. We ran laps of the green, swung from the tree and jumped about a lot. Our happy picture is of us resting after our runnings.

I, this is Caspian, have been reading a load of books about the Roman’s so I can tell you all about the gods. Mum teaches Roman archaeology and Mark is writing about Epiacum so we have loads of books about them. I will post something next week.

See ya, Caspian

Home schooling

Hello, today I started with reading comprehension. I did one about Anne Frank and John Lennon. Then I did maths, in my maths I did tidying up expressions and I did the fish problem but my mum had to help me. After that I went on epic. I think in a while my mum and me are going on a walk.  Hope you’ve had a good day bye.  By Orla.

Learning in the childcare hub today.

Lots of learning going on today in the childcare hub. We really enjoyed Mrs Fraser’s quiz at the end of the day- you should all try it at home! Carlay, Miller and James had a great time catching up with their class on their Teams meeting. Hope you all have a good weekend!
