In 1 Blue we looked at Inukshuk stone figures. Which means ‘human being’. They were used by the Inuit in the North as directional markers. It is in the shape of a person and signifies safety, hope and friendship. We used stones, pebbles and then lego to build our own Inukshuk.
This week we have been learning about how it would feel to live in an igloo. We thought about the life of an Inuit and what they ate, where they lived and what they wore. We even tried some Inuit throat singing! We decided that we are very lucky to live in this country and eat the food we eat, we really don’t fancy walrus nuggets!
Well done to the children who have achieved 100% attendance last week.
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.
