Penguins and Icebergs

Its been a while so I thought we were due for a new blog post :-)  We've been studying wild animals recently.  We went to the zoo last week when we were learning about elephants and this week we have specifically been learning about penguins.  Today, we also learned about icebergs and made our own!  The boys really enjoyed this and I think tomorrow we will make some more icebergs of different sizes and shapes.

 We filled up plastic bags with different volumes of water.

 There's no picture of this but then we put them in the freezer.

 Just before bed, we got them out and floated them in the sink and observed how the majority of the "icebergs" were actually under the water.

 Johnny's penguin that he drew yesterday.

 I haven't shown any of Johnny's work in a while but here's an example of him being able to read words and then match them to the correct picture. (He made his map into a person, not sure why.)

Just some handwriting :-)

See you soon!
