Humanities - Explorers......

In Humanities we looked at some great explorers from Europe, Christopher Columbus and Ernest Shackleton who went on expeditions to America and the South Pole. The students looked for places around the classroom, like explorers would look for new land. They discovered places in Europe where the explorers started their expeditions from, like Portugal, Spain and Ireland. They also used compasses to act out Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole...and they literally walked south in the room following the compasses direction!"
