We have started off by having a Frozen WOW Day!
Open Minds Theatre Group came in to join us and we had lots of fun with Claire and Pete.
We talked all about how we could be the perfect friend for Olaf, made frozen statues in teams using our bodies and even turned our friends into snowmen by wrapping them up in lots of toilet roll! Luckily, Mrs McCambridge managed to get photos before the snowmen melted.
We finished off the day by going on an adventure to the Arctic Tundra where we looked carefully for animals that were camouflaging into their surroundings. We even managed to work together to save seals from the killer whales, creep past a scary polar bear and sneak past a timid reindeer!
