The Competition
On Monday 11th November 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 constructors have now submitted their unique igloos for judging. Please cast your vote by commenting your favourite below, before the end of the day, Wednesday the 20th of November. The winning igloo will receive some exciting educational goodies from Wicked Weather Watch.

Millfield 1 (duplicated as Millfield 3?) gains my vote. It has a distinct entrance, appears to be relatively stable and with an enclosed top offers a degree of protection from the elements.
I believe olive school 5 is a brilliant igloo. I can personally tell the children in that group picked there own unique castle like design
