Primary 3A have had a very busy but exciting week!
We continued our learning on Polar Lands and became very creative!
We learned that Inuit hunters will build an Igloo to stay overnight when they are on a hunt. An Igloo is a house made out of block of snow. The word Igloo actually means house.
We had to collect lots of milk cartoons. Miss Innes and even Miss Innes’ mum collected them over the Christmas holidays and when we got back to school Primary 3A collected them too. Once we had collected enough had to organise them into piles. We modelled the first layer around six models. Then we glued together and continued to build layers on top of one another.
We eventually ran out of milk cartons! We decided to improvise and so we created the roof with two white sheets. We decorated it inside fairy lights, cushions and a white blanket. We even have icicles hanging from the doorway!
Some people have been taking in their own animals that can be found in both the Arctic and Antarctic.
We had a great time working together to build our Igloo. Thank you to everyone who helped us collect all the cartoons!
There are a few pictures below of the Igloo and its construction.
