On our return to school on Wednesday we discovered something completely out of the ordinary. In the outdoor area of our classroom there was a tent with lots of things left inside it… we had no idea where this came from! That was until we found a note hidden in the classroom from a certain somebody explaining everything.
We received a letter from a mystery person called PP. He had left his lots of his belongings with us whilst he visited the research station in Svalbard.
We wrapped up warm and went outside to search through the things PP had left at our school. We discovered a camera, a compass, a hat, scarf and gloves, some food. We were left baffled by who on earth this could be until we put all of our clues together of all the items he had left us to find out that he was in fact a polar explorer and his name was Professor Pole. He has left his things with us whilst he visits the research station in Svalbard.
He left us a video to watch which was very interesting and told us everything!
We studied really hard to figure out why a polar explorer would need the things he had left.
Here are a few ideas we came up with…
- We thought he needs his hat, scarf and gloves to keep warm as it looked like Professor Pole was exploring somewhere really icy and cold.
- Professor Pole needs a water bottle to keep himself hydrated and some peanuts to give him some energy whilst he is out exploring.
- A camera could come in useful for Professor Pole to snap some pictures of anything he may see on his expeditions that he wants to keep.
Next week we will be looking at all the different Polar Regions!
