As part of year 1's History's Greatest Explorers topic, pupils visit Snowzone to experience what it might have been like to explore Antarctica, just like Robert Falcon Scott.
This exciting, hands-on experience immersed pupils in a cold environment, helping them develop their understanding of cold places and the Antarctic climate. By experiencing the snow and freezing temperatures first-hand, children were able to bring their classroom learning to life and deepen their geographical knowledge.
Year 2 take part in a walk around Farsley to investigate the features of their local area and compare them with those of Beijing. This first-hand experience helps pupils understand how places can be both similar and different across the world.
