This book relates so well to what we were learning about in Science this term because we learned about taking care of water because it's a very important resource. As humans, we need to think about our impact on the environment. We even learned that there are communities right now in Canada that don't have clean water to drink.
We also used it as a way to improve our Reading skills. As Ms Elder read, we kept track of our questions, predictions, tricky vocabulary, and story events in a journal.
This week, we practiced our summarizing skills by writing a story summary on the back of our journals. We also wrote a response about what we liked about the book, didn't like, and who we'd recommend the book to.
We also learned that the Norwegian government has plans to start a deep sea mining expedition. This is just like the events in Wild Robot 3 because that's what is causing the poison tide!
