The world is getting warmer due to pollution and the ice in the Arctic is melting. This is bad news for polar bears because their home is getting smaller and there are fewer places for them to hunt for food. Polar bears are an endangered species. What can we do to help save the polar bears?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We remembered the story about the race to the south pole from last week. Children remembered the key events. But how do we know that it was true? We looked at different sources of evidence such as photographs, diaries and letters. The children then wrote their own inscription for a statue of Captain Scott. Did you think he was a brave hero or did you think he was unprepared for his expedition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PSHE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We read the story sharing a shell. The children talked about how friendships can break and how we can make friends again. Here we are making friendship bracelets for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4278-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4279-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4280-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4281-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4282-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4283-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4284-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4285-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4286-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itchyprojects.co.uk\/2026\/dev\/transfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_4287-1024x765-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English The children have worked hard writing their reports on polar animals this week.
