The children have worked hard to retell the story from the point of view of daddy penguin in the form of a series of diary entries. One day, we came in from snack time to find that the classroom was transformed into Antarctica. We thought about what we could see, hear and feel and used this to help us with our diary entries. Our final diary entry was written as independently as possible and I was very impressed with how hard everyone tried. Please do come in if you'd like to see your child's book.
We also used the Emperor's egg book to help us with our science work on habitats and adaptations. The children thought about their Antarctic descriptions and came up with several ways that a penguin is able to survive in this harsh environment. We decided their thick feathers helped them stay warm, their wings helped them to swim and catch fish and their fluffy tummies were fantastic for keeping the fragile eggs warm through the blizzards.
Have a fantastic weekend.
