We looked at Inuit designs and used craft tools to create relief prints.
We printed using a blend of colours.
We rolled the paint onto our relief prints and printed with them.
We used wooden craft tools to cut out our prints.
We finished the igloo and used it as a reading location.
We were amazed at how warm it was inside proving milk bottles make good insulation.
The igloo was surprisingly large - thank you to everyone who sent in bottles for the project.
We've been reading 'Call of the Wild' and were inspired to create polar chalk and charcoal artwork.
Y6 have been designing websites about polar animals and their adaptations.
We completed the igloo - taking care to match the two halves together.
We could feel how much warmer it was with the bottles acting as an insulator.

It would have provided extra warmth and comfort in a cold climate.

Neil, from Cornish Pirates Rugby, came in for sessions working on running with the ball and passing. These club links are really important.
We've been designing and making polar flags using a range of types of stitch.
Our plastic igloo is coming along with one side complete. We're enjoying learning practical skills and working together.
Polar explorers took flags with them during the golden age of exploration - so we're making our own.
During Number Day, we considered our possible future careers and how mathematics will be important for all of our jobs and roles.

In the Aspire Sumdog competition, Year 6 achieved a 2nd and 4th place! Well done Year 6!
We've been recapping the states of water including investigating ice in various shapes. We thought about why ice slides so easily.
We found ice could be brittle and thin - a problem for polar explorers!
We used Google Earth to look at the landscape of the poles and compare to where we live.
We used tools safely to construct our igloo from waste milk bottles.
It took careful planning and consideration to create a strong structure.
We designed and stitched our own flags.

To highlight plastic waste we've started to make a plastic igloo.
We've been inspired by Inuit shelters and thought we could build a structure to see how effective it is.
We used glue to stick the bottles together in a curved pattern.
We created icebergs, linked to our learning about the Titanic, and to investigate global warming linked to ice melt.
To investigate micro plastics in the ocean, we devised an experiment to see how quickly ice melts when it includes different things.
Using skills from other invasion games, we learnt how to tackle safely.
Passing and receiving skills are important for long distance passes.
We recapped the processes involved in the changing states of water.
We considered how the properties of ice might impact polar explorers.
Would ice always be brittle or could it be strong?
We used Google Earth to contrast the polar regions with other locations.
We even managed to explore inside the research bases on Antarctica.
Exploring the digital maps helped us appreciate the size and shape of the areas on the globe rather than those shown on a paper map.
How did different substances change the melting rate of the ice?
