Year 2 Polar Explorer Day

Year 2 stepped into the shoes of Ernest Shackleton and re-created his Antarctic expedition aboard the ‘Endurance’.

We began our journey by packing our bags with appropriate things to survive the expedition. Unfortunately, our ship became wedged in ice so we used our ice picks to chisel it out. It took us a long time to free them! We then went outside to play an exciting game of ‘Abandon Ship!’ and each class competed against each other to see who could abandon their ship the quickest. It was so much fun! To end our day, we went on a long trek around the school grounds as if we were travelling to find a safe camp space.
