Year 6 started their Arctic training for their new Frozen Kingdom project today. We learnt that explorers pull tyres to replicate pulling their sledges across the ice fields. This helps them build up the strength and stamina needed for when they start their exploration.

Thanks to Mr Relf, we were able to use some big tyres to set up a relay in the playground. Some of us found it much easier than others ( I’m honestly not thinking of you, Miss IM!!).

We hope to tweak this experiment, using two or three tyres and working in teams! Our thigh muscles are going to get HUGE!!!
