We took part in a design and technology lesson and used our theme of ‘Come Fly With Me- Arctic’ as inspiration. We decided to create an Arctic scene and then create a slider to show the sun rising and setting. We carefully snipped two slits in our card then inserted our sliding piece. We then created our scene and made our sun rise and set. We had lots of fun learning this new skill.
This week we have been learning about what the Inuit people eat and how their clothes are made. We looked at the materials they use in their every day life and created our own Inuit collage using the material that we thought was best suited for that weather.
This week 1 Blue have been designing and making their own mechanisms. They used their skills to make a moving picture of the Arctic using a slider mechanism.
This week we have looked at the physical features of the Arctic and named them. We then created our own Arctic pictures using chalk. We included the features such as icebergs and mountains in our artwork.
Throughout this theme of ‘Come Fly With Me: Arctic’ we have been looking at the different animals and how they survive in a harsh environment. We discovered that many Arctic animals have blubber to keep them warm. We decided that we wanted to see what difference blubber makes to an animal. We became scientists and we placed our hands in icy water. We then placed our hands in blubber (zip pocket with butter in) and put them back in the water. We concluded that the blubber stops the animal feeling cold. It was great fun!
