The Polar Explorer workshop serves as a fascinating and in-depth introduction to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and is ideal for any Key Stage 2 class or year group studying the polar regions.  For example, it is particularly well suited to those schools covering topics such as Poles Apart, Frozen Kingdom or Pole to Pole.

Over the course of the day, pupils spend time exploring the polar environment; the climate; the people; the wildlife; the effects of climate change; past and present explorers such as Scott and Shackleton; the hazards of polar travel; and the equipment needed to survive in such an inhospitable location (including a session where three or four pupils get to dress up in genuine polar explorer clothing).
