Exploring Antarctica- Reception

Recently in Reception we have been exploring hot and cold places. We focused on Antarctica last week, looking at what the weather is like there, what we would need to pack in a suitcase if we were going to visit and some of the animals that live there. We particularly enjoyed learning about penguins. We found out there are different types of penguins and we measured ourselves against the height of penguins that we had stuck up in the classrooms to show their actual size. The children made some observational paintings of penguins which turned out beautiful.
