Challenge Question:
How did Tom know he was getting close to the North Pole?
You can choose whether to write your questions on the blog or write them in your book and send in a photo!
I look forward to reading your work!
From Miss Lee 🙂
Well done Basile, you have thought of lots of important things that Tom forgot to pack! I think he will need you to help him pack his bag before his next adventure!
1. Yes I think Tom packed well for his trip.
2. I think Tom has forgotten to pack his favourite teddy to snuggle in to it at night.
3. Tom knew he was getting close to the North Pole because he saw giant icebergs and he must’ve felt very cold.
1. I think Tom has packed quite well for his trip.
2. Tom has forgotten to pack fresh water, fresh fruit, clean clothes,
a phone (in case of trouble), toothbrush and toothpaste, a knife and a fork, vitamins, hand sanitiser (because you can’t eat if your hands are dirty), a book about the North Pole (in case he wants to know fun facts), a camera (incase he wants to take some photos), a First aid kit (in case he hurts himself) and a teddy bear to comfort him.
Challenge :
To knew he was getting close to the North Pole because he saw gigantic Icebergs.
All very very important things to pack, I can’t believe Tom forgot them! I hope he reads your ideas before packing for his next adventure!
Yes the icebergs would be a big clue! Well done Isabella!
Well done Year 1! I have enjoyed reading your comments! We did this activity in class today too. We thought he would need a warm cosy coat, lots of jumpers and some boots with ice grips so he didn’t slip on the ice!
Hello Junior!
Yes I agree the ice bergs would be a big hint and it would be freezing!
Good ideas about what Tom forgot to pack! Hopefully he will remember them next time!
Hello, good morning Miss Lee. I think he packed his bags well. But I think he forgot to take some medicine for him if his dad is hurt, plus clothes and water. When it got really cold and he saw those big, white ice mountains he knew it was coming.
Hello Julia!
Yes clothes and water are very important and a medical kit just in case! Good ideas! You might need to help Tom pack before he goes on his next adventure!
I think Tom packed well for his trip, but he might have forgotten a few things: clothes, toothbrush, tooth paste, bin bag, toilet paper, clock.
Tom knew he was getting close to the North Pole because it was getting colder and colder and gigantic icebergs appeared on the horizon.
Tom forgot to pack a camera to take pictures of the whales, a toothbrush, toothpaste, chocolate, a snugly toy to sleep with and a blanket in case he lost his sleeping bag. He should have packed a pen and paper too and extra clothes. Maybe he could have taken balloons and let them go in the sky so his Dad could see them.
He knew he was getting close to the North Pole when he saw some icebergs.
I have drawn a picture of the things I would take.
I would take a camera and I would take super glue in case anything I needed broke. I would take binoculars like Tom did.
I think Tom packed well for this trip but he forgot many things like spare clothes, drinks, plasters and medicines, a toothbrush and some soap.
Tom knew he was getting close to the North pole because there was lots of snow and icebergs.
Well done Basile, you have thought of lots of important things that Tom forgot to pack! I think he will need you to help him pack his bag before his next adventure!
Tom knows he was getting close to the North Pole because he saw an iceberg and a lot of ice and snow.
Well done Clémence! Yes the snow and ice would definitely help Tom realise he was getting close to the North Pole!
Hello Miss Lee,
1. Yes I think Tom packed well for his trip.
2. I think Tom has forgotten to pack his favourite teddy to snuggle in to it at night.
3. Tom knew he was getting close to the North Pole because he saw giant icebergs and he must’ve felt very cold.
Good ideas Saoirse! How could Tom forget his favourite teddy?! Yes Tom must have been very cold as he got closer to the North Pole! Well done!
Good morning miss Lee,
1. I think tom,well packed his things, but he could
add a first aid kit, water and some sweets?
2.Tom knew is getting closer to the North Pole because he saw the giant iceberg and high mountains of ice. Tom felt very cold.
Hello Daniela! Ooh yes a first aid kit is very important and sweets would be a nice treat! ?
Well done!
Hello Miss Lee,
I think Tom packed well but could have packed some more things.
1. First aid
2. Spare clothes
3. Phone
4. Umbrella
5. Mittens
6. Scarf
I have sent you a picture of the extra things to pack.
Hello Daisy!
Well done for remembering lots of important things that Tom should pack! Great idea, I will upload the photos once I receive them!
Dear Miss Lee.
1. I think Tom has packed quite well for his trip.
2. Tom has forgotten to pack fresh water, fresh fruit, clean clothes,
a phone (in case of trouble), toothbrush and toothpaste, a knife and a fork, vitamins, hand sanitiser (because you can’t eat if your hands are dirty), a book about the North Pole (in case he wants to know fun facts), a camera (incase he wants to take some photos), a First aid kit (in case he hurts himself) and a teddy bear to comfort him.

Hello Miss Lee,
Tom knew he was getting close to the North Pole because it was very cold with huge icebergs and a lot of snow everywhere.
I think spare clothes (coat) and food are missing Tom’s backpack.
Hello Junior!
Yes I agree the ice bergs would be a big hint and it would be freezing!
Good ideas about what Tom forgot to pack! Hopefully he will remember them next time!
Hello Miss Lee,
1) I think that Tom packed well for his trip.
2) He has forgotten to take water and clothes with him.
3) Tom knee he was near the North Pole because he saw icebergs and whales.
Hello Jay!
Good ideas! Water is very important! I hope Tom remembers it for his next adventure!

Good ideas Camila! These are all useful things to pack! I hope Tom remembers these before his next adventure!
Hello Miss Lee!
1. Of course.
2. He has forgotten:
– A dog to smell where his dad was
– A phone
– Clothes
Hello Mateus!
A dog is a great idea! Not only could it be used to find his dad, it would also mean Tom would have a friend to travel with!
Hi Miss Lee,
Tom forgot to pack a camera to take pictures of the whales, a toothbrush, toothpaste, chocolate, a snugly toy to sleep with and a blanket in case he lost his sleeping bag. He should have packed a pen and paper too and extra clothes. Maybe he could have taken balloons and let them go in the sky so his Dad could see them.
He knew he was getting close to the North Pole when he saw some icebergs.
I have drawn a picture of the things I would take.
I would take a camera and I would take super glue in case anything I needed broke. I would take binoculars like Tom did.
I would also take some board games so I could play them with my dad before we went home and a colouring book and some colouring pencils.
A lovely idea Eden! Which board games will you take? I like the board game frustration as you never know who is going to win!
