Science in Miss Maguire's Room

Senior Infants have been busy learning about Antarctica. They explored the "plants and animals" strand unit within the "Living things" strand. They labelled a penguin using it's main features- beak, flippers, webbed feet, feathers. They sequenced the life cycle of a penguin. They had great fun when they investigated how penguins keep warm even when they live in the coldest place on Earth. They used butter to act as the penguins blubber. They found out that penguins need their blubber to keep warm.
