Anyone interested in in doing a school visit in November in Nottingham? Looks like it would be a lot of fun and great experience. Sadly I'm away at sea but get in touch with me or directly back to the school (if you could cc me so I know we have it covered), that'd be fab. See their email below.
Really great chance to get engaged with kids and showcase some polar /met/ocean science
Thanks

Hello Anna,
I have just received this email from Sylvia Knight from the RMetSoc, asking about a polar and weather/climate related school visit in Nottingham.
I can personally not commit to this at the moment. Maybe you'd be happy to go? Or you could send it around UKPN to see if anyone would be interested?
Thanks,
Amélie

Hello Amelie,
I was wondering whether you or any of the other BAS STEM ambassadors would consider travelling this far to a school?
With thanks

Hello,
My name is Helen O'Grady and I am a teacher at Portland Spencer Academy in Bilborough, Nottingham.
Last year we were visited by Simon Edwards who delivered some fantastic workshops for our children around weather and the environment.
I was wondering/hoping if we would be able to arrange the same this year?
This year I am working in Key Stage 1- Year 2- where we have 2 classes of 30 pupils aged 6/7.
Our learning next term is around the book 'The Polar Express' and we are hoping to use this to exlore learnign around the arctic/antarctic, global warming and weather in general.
If you are able to offer anything related that would be brilliant- it was a really great experience last time.
Ideally this would be in the first couple of weeks of November, however I appreciate that is quite short notice and so if you are able to offer any dates before Christmas that would be great.
Thank you in advance,
Helen O'Grady
