The children in the Junior Room saved Christmas this week! On Monday, the children received a letter from poor Peter the polar bear, who was stranded in Lidl in Trim:
The children got straight to work. They made maps, built Arctic helicopters and Arctic scenes to help Peter when he got to our school. The children learned about polar bears and other Arctic animals, as well as Inuit people. They decorated our room to make it look more like the Arctic so Peter feel at home. On Friday, we baked cookies for Peter to bring to Santa (and a few for ourselves too!). Thanks to the children in the Junior Room, Peter got back to the North Pole in time to save Christmas!
The children loved watching videos and looking at pictures of the different animals in The Arctic.
There is a great photographer called Paul Nicklen who has a page on Instagram and a website: https://www.instagram.com/paulnicklen/?hl=en He has some fantastic wildlife pictures that your child might enjoy!
