We are enjoying our new topic The Big Freeze and have been finding out about Captain Scott's expedition to Antarctica. We thought about the equipment he would have and what we might need if we wanted to go on a similar expedition. We had to think hard about what we would be able to carry, where and what we would sleep in and how we would cook and keep warm. 

We each wrote a letter to Scott to explain why we would be good people to go on his expedition. We though about the qualities and explorer would need and what would make us stand out from other children. We told him we had some new technologies that would help him- walkie talkies, camera's and a torch that does not need batteries. We explained how these would be useful.

We thought that a great drink would be hot chocolate as we could take the power and use the melted snow as water. We wrote instructions to explain how to make a hot chocolate and Mrs Hunter made us some too! Yummy!
