We’ve been on a fabulous learning journey finding out all about the Arctic and the Antarctic. We have explored the different terrains and the creatures that live there. We have found out the amazing ways in which the different creatures such as penguins, polar bears, whales and foxes have adapted to live in difficult conditions.

We explored how the Inuit people live in the freezing cold conditions and in Art we made our own Inuit people and also constructed mini igloos.

We learnt all about the famous British Explorer Scott and his expedition to the South Pole. Sadly it did not end well and his Team were beaten to the South Pole by another Team led by Amundsen, a Norwegian Explorer.

In Science we explored the concept of melting and sadly we know that the ice is melting in these regions due partly to the change in our climate.

We have chosen our favourite piece of work to showcase what we have enjoyed finding out about during this exciting project.

So why do Polar Bears not eat Penguins? Because Polar Bears live in the Arctic and Penguins live in the Antarctic!
