  • LIVE Q&A SESSION WITH ROB AND BARNEY SWAN FROM ANTARCTICA

    Published 06/05/22

    Our reception and Year 3 pupils recently had a very exciting opportunity to attend a live Q&A session from Antarctica. This special expedition was to learn more about the continent and how we can protect it.

    They were lucky enough to be joined by expedition leaders Rob Swan (OBE) and Barney Swan. Rob was the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles - and in 2017 Barney skied 1,000 km to the South Pole, powered only by renewable energy!  Both are experts on Antarctica.

    Year 4 took part in a very exciting workshop with Geobus in the Summer Term.  They had a live Q&A with Professor Ana Ferreira who is the chief scientist on a research project for Upflow.  They had the opportunity to learn all about earthquakes and examine seismometers.  Ana answered our many questions and even gave us a tour of the research vessel the "Mario Ruivo" which they are currently on board.
