At last week’s International Week the Reception children were very excited to learn about one of the coldest places on Earth – Antarctica!

We had a visitor in the Reception classroom who had got lost looking for Antarctica. Mr Snow Scott appeared from inside our tent and asked if we could help him find out some information about Antarctica to help him on his travels. The children suggested that Mr Snow Scott needed to get on an aeroplane and a boat to get to Antarctica and offered him our map to help find the continent.

Throughout the rest of the week, Mr Snow Scott sent us e-mails with updates of his journey. In response, we researched the types of things you might see in Antarctica and asked him to send photos of them.
