Year 2 Arctic Day

To celebrate the end of our Arctic topic in Year 2 we wrapped up warm and boarded a flight to the Arctic in the morning!

Whilst we were there we had to battle through a blizzard, then we spotted polar bears and whales and we even saw glaciers melting.

After we boarded the flight back to Oakwood Primary school we learnt about global warming. We learnt that things we do in England, such as not turning off lights and driving cars, can affect people all over the world which can cause flooding and ice caps to melt.

Next we became Inuits! Although we didn't have real snow to build an igloo we had lots of fun building igloos with marshmallows, glue and glitter. Later on we created Northern Lights art using pastels on a black piece of paper. We used our fingers as a tool for smudging and blending the colours together.

It was a great day and it was a fun way to celebrate the end of our topic.
