Hi everyone,
We're in desperate need of some willing volunteers to share some of their polar scientist stories and experiences with a couple of schools, one in Bedford and one in Newbury Park, East London. They've been patiently waiting for us to get back to them with a volunteer, as ideally they'd like someone feb/april. If anyone is keen to help out with these and get the chance to engage some school kids in polar science, then please get back to the education team at: education@polarnetwork.org.
Transport costs are covered, and usually it's only about an hour needed at the school. They're a lot of fun J
Beford one:
Bedford Girl's School
Ideally they'd like an assembly talk, and then a little workshop done with 3 smaller groups. But I think even an assembly talk would be great if people would rather do that than a workshop.
London (Newbury Park, East London):
Oaks Park High School
Our Y7 cohort is 300 so was thinking maybe an assembly style however we can easily pick smaller groups if necessary however would love to have all of them involved if possible. Topics wise again whatever is easiest - our unit covers glaciers as well as general physical geography stuff.
Thanks everyone, we really do appreciate your support in helping us reach kids all over the UK and give them unique chances to meet and listen to polar scientists.
Best wishes

Subject: School visit-Bedford Girls' School
Hello,
I am hoping we can arrange for someone to visit and enthuse our girls about Antarctica this term. Last year we were lucky enough to welcome Maddie Brasier to our school and she talked about what she studies, how she became a scientist/explorer and gave the girls some activities to do. Maddie is in Antarctica this term so cannot visit again. If you have someone who would be available to do something relatively similar we would be really grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Helena Schofield
Head of Year 4
