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!
School council and some of their friends attended the Armistice Day memorial service at the cenotaph in Monkton Village. They then laid a wreath on behalf of our school. They were absolutely amazing and a credit to our school .

KS1 took part in celebrating the festival of ‘Diwali’ carried out by Kz Entertainment (a London based drama and dance group). Diwali is the five-day Festival of Lights,celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world. Diwali, which for some also coincides with harvest and New Year celebrations, is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.Children will listen to Diwali stories, learn some Bollywood dances and then take part in the tradition Dhandiya dances (stick dancing) which is a dance celebrated at this festival. As you can see the children had a great time!
