On Monday 29th July Rooms 1 and 4 went to the museum. We were visiting the Arctic Voices exhibition, which taught the students all about adaptations of the animals and plants in the Arctic.
We had the lesson first, we were taking behind the scenes into a classroom and watched a video on different adaptations that animals had in the arctic. We learnt about biological and behavioural adaptations that life have in order to survive. We then got to explore the exhibition and take part in quizzes, crawled into tunnels (to get sneak peak at animals in their homes), see if we could jump as high or long as a arctic fox and rabbit and learn facts about life in the Arctic.
After this we then had to complete a sheet identifying three adaptations about an animal or plant we chose to read more about. We then got to create our own arctic animal or plant and decide on what adaptations it would have.
It was lunchtime and we enjoyed this in the Botanical Gardens. We played in the amazing trees, climbing and playing tag. We then completed a scavenger hunt in the museum looking at mummies, geodes, Chinese vases and Antarctic expeditions.
It was such a fun day and students enjoyed exploring our local museum and learning more about our world.
What do you know about the Arctic or animal adaptations?
