SPRING TERM THEME-EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

What would it be like to stand in the coldest place in the world? What about the hottest place or the highest place? Our planet is amazing and we will be investigating some of the most extreme environments it has to offer.

We will be looking at questions like...

Who lives at the South Pole?

What is the difference between climate and weather?

Who was Ernest Shackleton and what did he do?

How can I make a painting look warm or cold?

                                      

What is a biome?

Which one is longitude?

Could we build a shelter to survive the extreme cold?

 

All of these questions and many more will be looked at. For more detail about what we will be learning please look at the overview at the bottom of this page.

It looks like this: 

If you have any questions please pop a note in your child's red book and we will get back to you as soon as possible... (that is if our pens haven't turned into icicles ;) )
