Hi All,
There are two opportunities for outreach see below for details:Sheffield:
We are located on the outskirts of Sheffield. The visit would be to a class of mainly Year 2 pupils with a small group of Year 1s ( about 6 years of age). We are doing a topic on the Polar regions this term and we will be looking at explorers as part of that. We will be looking at Scott of the Antartic so the visit would be to show a modern day slant on this if possible. Obviously it's also a good opportunity to bring in eco issues.
The talks would be best maximum 40 minutes and visual aids would help the children stay focused that long. We will be looking at the equipment Scott of the Antartic used so any examples of modern equipment would be great. May be a focus on how exploration has changed would work. Any day of the week beginning 7th December would be fine. We can be flexible about times but avoid between 12.15 and 1.15.
Scotland:
Our school is in Kennoway, Fife and students involved would be primary 6 and we have two classes with a total of 54. Would love to have some sort of activity and question and answer session? Was hoping we could squeeze this in before Christmas if possible, and there may be some funding available it would clearly depend on the cost.
Please email me (reussschmidtk@gmail.com) if you're interested and I'll put you in contact with the teachers.
Cheers,
Kassandra
