"The Wilkin's Ice Shelf in Antarctica .....



.....is breaking up; a piece if ice the size on Connecticut is falling off. That is about three quarters the size of Switzerland.....
It's so important, because we are spraying out bad things and we made a hole in the ozone layer and that makes it become hotter and the ice melts and that makes the water rise."

Justin looked worried. 'How are the penguins going to survive?' he wondered.

Mapping the school

We asked ourselves; how can we show what our school looks like? After taking a walk around the school, we had a go at trying to make a record of everything; from the classrooms to the kitchen, the music room to the French rooms and the library.

Take a look at mine. "I think the paper was the right size because I had to do it quite big. I started in the central space. Then I went along to the nurse's room, then to the main entrance. Then I went to Linda's Class and Mrs Tanimura. Then I did the corridor and the upstairs and downstairs. I did the downstairs just above the upstairs on the paper because I couldn't fit it underneath; there was just a teeny amount of space underneath. I also did a bit of the playground. I know I missed the gym and the music room but I know where they should go. I found it a little bit easy and a little bit hard. I think I kind of did a good job. Other people would be able to use my map to find their way.



How does it compare with the real thing?
