Arctic and Antarctic KS1
Brrr… is anyone feeling a little chilly? Join us on an around-the-world adventure as we follow in the footsteps of famous explorer, Ernest Shackleton. Learn about his life, then use drama to embark on your very own expedition to the North and South Poles – discovering fascinating habitats, animals and seasonal changes along the way.
But there’s even more to uncover! KS1 classes can also pick to learn about the inspirational modern adventurer, Ann Bancroft, OR British pioneer, Robert Falcon Scott. Ready, set, EXPLORE!
