The Polar Bear on the Cold Ice

We looked at a photo of a polar bear on an iceberg that looked too small. We thought about what we thought was happening in the photo and wondered what would happen next.

This is Austin's story

This is my house and the polar bear is on the cold ice at my house. He is my friend.

Ormie the Pig

Room 7 watched a short animated film called Ormie the Pig. It told the story of a pig who desperately wanted some cookies from the jar on top of the fridge. We talked about how there were no words but the animators used physical comedy to tell the story.  It is a funny movie and some of the children wrote about it.

Mum

Dear Mum I hope you have a lovely Mother’s day. You do stuff like sew me my own dressing gown. You care about me and sometimes you pick me up from school.

Air Scientists

We were scientists this week and did some wondering about air. We experimented with moving different objects - blowing through straws, using a hairdryer, and fanning air with cardboard.
