Sherford Vale welcomed Sir Robert Scott to the school on Fri 31st January. The arctic navigator and explorer described some of his most intrepid adventures to the children as part of an immersive learning experience provided by Blast from the Past (www.blastfromthepast.co.uk). The children were given a range of learning resources including a presentation and physical equipment that would have been used on his expeditions, while the actor playing Sir Scott wore an authentic costume and remained in character for most of the session. The children were also encouraged to experience what it would have been like to stay in the arctic explorers tent and eat some of his basic food rations.
