The Competition
On Thursday 18th January 2024, we took three 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, Monday the 29th of January. The winning igloo will receive some exciting educational goodies from Wicked Weather Watch.
For more information about our virtual Arctic adventure, head to Emma Espley’s blog post, where she recounts the day in more detail.

Gosh, this was a hard one! Newsham 5 gets my vote as it appears to be very study, is tall enough to allow you to stand up fully and wide enough to enable you to move around inside.
