Walrus Bay Research Station

Arctic weather has been the order of the day in Class 1 at the beginning of the week.
Children recorded their findings in the Walrus Bay Research Station and observed polar bears and walruses in the wild.
Some children (and Mrs MacMorrin) had fun making real snow for the arctic animals! We made snow in two different ways - both were successful and the animals were far happier with the snow!
Some children (and Miss Rayner) helped the Inuit girl find her toys that she had lost around the school by reading clues. She was happily reunited with them all!
Some children made an igloo / shelter outside using large construction! They worked very hard with Mrs Daws to support.
The children were fascinated to see how the mud kitchen had frozen up and enjoyed cracking the ice.

It's amazing how many arctic animals you can make from paper plates - we've made three already! Great job children!

Is baking soda and hair conditioner really going to make snow?

The animals are a lot happier now!

Polar bear trek!

What shall we study first?

Working in very cold conditions, perseverance and hard work meant success!

Off to find the Inuit's toys!

Ice stopped cooking in the mud kitchen!
