"Cold wintry places"

We have based our topic on "Cold wintry places", and looked at the geography of different cold countries, and also how animals adapt to the cold weather.  This theme is also carried on in our artwork.

We have also researched the explorer Roald Amunden, and his race to the South Pole.

For literacy we have concentrated on the books by Mairi Hedderwick, and her character "Katie Morag" who lives in the Isle of Struay.
