Year 6 Geography: Antarctica

March 04, 2015
Year 6 have researched Antarctica in their Geography lessons. Using words such as longitude, latitude, continent and hemisphere they had to describe its relative and absolute location. Adopting the role of travel agents, pupils described Antarctica’s physical features to try to persuade tourists to visit the ‘last remaining icy wilderness at the very south of our planet’. Year 6 also investigated materials that would make the best insulators for Antarctic explorers and designed outfits for them to wear on their adventures.




Our talented Year 6 artists have also produced some fantastic Antarctic art work.
