Hi, Hayley there was a question asked yesterday that got lost as we moved the site hosting. So I’ll post it for you now. It came from Mr Drayton…
>>>
Hope you are making the most of this opportunity - I am so jealous.
What data have you collected so far and will you have data from previous years to compare it with?
>>>
urm
not a lot really hannah
i have started recycling a bit more and we’ve had a couple of lessons about climate change
when hayley gets back i think everything will get going
i cant wait to hear all her stories =]
xxxx
Is Miss Burdett havin a good time?
Nick
xx
Thanks, Jess -I’m glad to hear it! Is anyone in charge of taking pictures of all these events?
Hayley
It all sounds fantastic. What has the journey been like? how deep is the sea there? what colour is it? What can you see in the waters around the icebergs? are there many birds and if so what kind? how much daylight are you getting at the moment?
Looking forward to hearing everything
Trisha Jaffe
Danny is doing well at rugby. Ive been on your site all day everyday lol!!
Is your diary full up, can’t wait to read it (if you’ll let me)
Have you seen any artic foxes ?
Hi all, I think we just killed the site temporarily. If it goes down again just give it a rest for a minute. Please be patient! it should come back up fairly quickly. Thanks.
hows your project going?
and hows your song going?
are you nearly finished?
xxx
Ive had to change my science project as there is no previous data for this specific area at this spercific time they always do it in the spring, so i am now analysing samples and comparing them to the scientific pictures of them to see how climate change has affected them-mr drayton
heyley how is your trip, have you had chance to toch polar bears cause I want to ask are they soft?
unfortunately we havent gotten hold of any cameras to take pictures, but hopefully a film crew will be coming next week to film whats been going on at our school.
Tommorrow i might bring in my digital camera to take pictures of the lessons where we have been accessing the site
xx
hey hayley are you still keeping the diary and will you let us read it when you get back. are you still making the song and have you been inspired to do things. so have you been getting along with the artists and scientists? we look forward to seeing you soon bye xxx
Hey hayley,
So what kind of animals have you’ve seen so far?
Alan
xxx
what are you going to write your song about?
havw you got many ideas yet?
xxx
i hope its gettin recycled tut tut !
Hayley

And have you found any inspiration for your song?
jess

We are getting lots of day light as the sun doesnt go down properly. We have done night watches on the ship so we have seen it for real. The sea it very blue today beacuse the sun is shining but when its horrible and cloudy its grey. The sea is over two hundred metres deep in places the ships meaurements dont go any further then that. We have seen purple sand pipers, arctic turns, arctic gulls, guillemots and puffins- Ms Jaffe
Jess -that sounds great, as we always like to see photos of what’s happening in school. Do you think you could send them to us once you’ve taken them? Either to: hannahbird@capefarewell.com or kathy@bulletclip.com ?
i will write an aditional song to make fun of it i actually already started it it is about yesterday
have u seen any baby polar bears?
I can see your really popular so I’m just going to view.
Cant wait to see you.
Love you Dad
XXXXXXXXX
Hi Ami - thanks for your comments about what you’ve been up to. What’s the plan for the assembly next week? Do you think Hayley coming back will change things in the school?
dad- We have seen arctic fox but a dead one. It was a skeleton but with paws and tail and it make me realise that death is all around us and how fragile life can be. I probably wont get to reply again sonsee you soon and lv ya ldz xxxxx

Today we have been doing a climate experiment measuring lots of data from six int he mornint til ten at night. We also made a huge sculpture made out of ice on the beach near the glacier and the next day we went to an island called Blomstrand to a place called LONDON and did a movemnt piece inspired by words we though of on the glacier x
i will d eelie lol x
hayley have you done fishing in arctic
ami- yes we do have bunkbeds and did you hear about Ms Burdett falling over on the ice lol x
alan- Its absolutely amazing but it makes me think of how much we have to save the planet x

xxx
No its not scary at all its just amazing we are having the best time and dont want to come home x Me and Ms burdett are planning to move to Longyearbyen x
dont move there!
it would be very very quiet!
and youd miss us
oh wow the temperature is like 4 degress but it was 2 at six and minus 2 a couple of days ago x But the scientist say it should have snowed by now and it should be snowing so we are experiencing climate change for real x
So would you move there to do more art or more science?
haha ur gona move lol u cant we all miss you 2 much here!
Ellie you can come and visit to see how amazing it is lol x
oh
if it was snowing youd be able to have snowball fights
or not…
When you come back, i expect you to only half fill the kettle, turn off the lights when you leave the room and put all your rubbish in the recycle bins.
Do you think the trip has made an impact on how you view things like this ?
xxxxxxxxxx
YAY
haha
no one else
just me
how long are you online for?
I miss you too Ami I would move there to do both art and science and id get information from scientists x
did you had night by a fire with jethro playing guitar and you singing
I really miss you
oh wow!
i really cant wait to hear about all your stories when you get back!
i think that once everyone hears about your stories they will understand alot more about climate change and how its affecting us
xxxx
Hayley - any ideas about how this trip is going to change the way you do things when you get back to London?
