Antarctic Explorers from the Past
We have been learning about Antarctic explorers from the past. We worked in groups to research information about these and shared what we found out with the class.
We went to West Midlands Safari Park to help us with our topic ’Freezing Lands’. We saw lots of animals, including penguins, seals snd reindeers. We also had a tour around the Ice Age and learnt lots of interesting facts.
We have been learning about climate change as part of our 'Freezing Lands' topic and carried out an ice experiment to explore this. We made predictions, observations and communicated our findings.
