Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Dan the Explorer

Class 4 were very excited to meet a real life explorer!

We enjoyed taking part in the workshop and learned about what it takes to be an explorer. Dan (our explorer) showed us lots of photographs from his adventures and even brought in some artefacts for us to look at, touch and draw.

We got to try on some of his special clothes, touch a seal skin and stroke the tail of an arctic fox.

Dan talked to us about how heavy a polar bear was. He said that it weighed 10 time his weight. We all worked together to see if we could lift him up.

He was very heavy.

We don't think we could lift up a polar bear.
