The Competition
On Wednesday 8th November 2023, we took two schools across the UK on a trip to the Arctic. We explored the question, ‘What is so cool about the Arctic?’.
In addition to the many and varied activities completed during the day, pupils were challenged to create an igloo using only a base template and a box of sugar cubes provided.
Our mini explorers and expert igloo constructers have now submitted their unique igloos for judging. Please cast your vote by commenting your favourite below, before the end of the day, Tuesday the 21st of November. The winning igloo will receive some exciting educational goodies from Wicked Weather Watch.
