Brrrr…It’s cold in
here.
Year 4 were delighted to welcome an Arctic Explorer into the fold
yesterday. The children were enchanted by her stories and her experiences
of the Arctic, and had so many questions to ask her about what it was like.
Some of the children know a surprising amount about Arctic animals! Even
the teachers learnt things they didn't know!
Our favourite part was by far the science experiments in the afternoon,
where we made some blubber gloves and submerged our hands into ice-cold water
to see which was colder, the one with the blubber glove or the one
without.
We also made mountain glaciers with clay and cornflour. It was a hugely
worthwhile experience and we loved every minute.
