We are getting towards the end of our explorers topic now and we are finding out about the latter stages of Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition. This week the class has been writing to-do lists for the crew to get on with and writing letters to Ernest Shackleton from the perspective of his family.
We have had the watercolour paints out again this week and tried to emulate the amazing work of explorer artist David McEown. He specialises in painting the vulnerable wilderness areas of earth and the class had their own go. The result were great!
During outdoor learning, we read a lovely book called Little Gooses Autumn this week and found out about lots of ways different animals spend Autumn time preparing for the colder winter weather. Geese are very impressive as they migrate south to warmer countries and then find their way back to exactly the same place when they come back in the spring.
We tried hiding acorns and then finding them again like squirrels do and made some conker squirrel feeders using palm drills.
