Children across the school were fascinated as they learned about Antarctica’s wildlife, its icy landscapes, and why it is one of the most fragile places on Earth. They watched powerful footage from the Voice for the Planet – Protect Antarctica video, which helped everyone understand how climate change is affecting this unique continent and why every single person can make a difference.

As part of the event, our pupils were celebrated as “Champions of Antarctica”, joining thousands of children worldwide in this historic moment. The certificate shared with schools described the experience as “making a piece of Antarctic history,” thanking children for their curiosity, enthusiasm and commitment to protecting “the last great wilderness on Earth.”

We were also introduced to Teddy, the first teddy in history to visit both the North and South Poles - an unexpected but very inspiring guest who brought a lovely sense of adventure to the assembly!

This learning has sparked brilliant discussions in classrooms about caring for our world, climate change, and how even small actions, like recycling more carefully or turning off lights, can help protect the places that matter.

We are incredibly proud of how thoughtfully our children engaged with this global event. What a meaningful way to learn about stewardship, community, and the wonder of our planet.
