P2/1 were very excited to be lucky enough to be part of a special assembly yesterday with a Polar Explorer! Craig Matheson visited Carmondean yesterday and we heard all about what it is like to visit the North and South Poles. We learned about the animals that he has seen, the types of clothes he wears in the cold climate- Frazer even got to try on his special gloves, and all the training that he has to do to get ready for his expeditions.
This week we will be following up his visit by doing a series of Science lessons. Today we worked with a partner to design boats. We linked this to our Topic by imagining we were designing them for the Post and food supplies to be delivered to the Post Office shop that Katie Morag’s Mum and Dad run on the Island of Struay. It took us a few trial runs to finally get a finished product that would float well enough to get all those important things to the shop! Have a look at some of them below:
Next week we will be performing our Scottish Poem for Burns’ Day. Please keep practising this at home with your child.
