Country of the Month - The Arctic Throughout January, we will be visiting the continent ‘Antarctica’, we will be exploring Arctic animals and their habitats such as Penguins, Polar Bears, Walruses, Puffins, the Arctic Fox and Snowshoe Hare! We will be creating our own Arctic small worlds using water, ice and other natural materials. We will be investigating ice through melting and freezing and adding colours. We would be most grateful for any resources to support this topic such as story books.
