Re: Polar Pen Pals - Antarctic Research

Hi,

 

I haven't had any responses back from the email below, bit thought possibly you may have been on Easter break. Therefore if anyone is available to help with the below I would really, really appreciate it 😊 I know from experience that schools gain a great deal from this experience.

It wouldn't be one person responding to all 8 letters – just one letter.

 

Many thanks


Fiona

Hello all,

 

Hope everyone is well.

 

We have had a request from a school

 

"Good Morning,

 

I am a secondary school geography teacher in the UK. Next term we teach our students about exploiting antarctica and we evaluate this. One of the ideas we look at is research in Antarctica and how this can benefit us. 

 

We have 8 classes for geography in school, would it be possible for each class to write a letter enquiring about the research scientists do and how this can benefit us?"

 

If anyone is able to help with this please let me know so I can share details with this school.

 

Thank you so much in advance

 

Many thanks


Fiona
