Picking up our GOLD Award from @geographicalassociation yesterday!🎉

The GA hasn't given out a Gold Award for at least 7 years so this is a HUGE achievement.

👉Swipe to see what the judges had to say about the 2041 Schools Programme.

In their words:

"Champions of Antarctica is a MUST HAVE for every primary school."

We couldn't be happier with our recent award wins - first Bett, now Geographical Association Publishers’ Awards.

It's a huge honour to have our resources recognised (and celebrated!) and has made us even more excited for the launch of resource pack #2 coming VERY soon!

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded a resource pack or shared our page with a friend or colleague.

And of course a huge thank you to everyone who has helped bring these resources to life.

Here's to us, the Champions of Antarctica!

🎉🎉🎉

This is how 👇
⁠
Most of the time, clothes will be sent off to Chile to be cleaned. However, with a turnaround time of 3 weeks, sometimes you need clothes a little sooner than that!⁠
⁠
In that case, this hand-powered washing machine comes in very handy!
