A recent visitor to our Antarctic Explorer Survival Day wrote:

"Hi Steve, I would just like to say again thank you to yourself, Ed and Richard for a fantastic day.  The children had a brilliant time, and you really brought our topic alive for them right from the start.  They now have a great sence of what it may be like to be an Antarctic explorer and the challenges that could possibly be faced by them, something that I could not have done in the classroom.  Hopefully their work over the coming weeks will be so much easier. Thanks again, Suzanne Taylor, Chiseldon Primary School. "
