Our visit to the Discovery

Today we visited the Discovery ship in Dundee to find out more about Captain Scott's first expedition to the Antarctic.  We were given a guided tour around the ship where we found out lots of interesting facts.  We were able to look closely at the living quarters of the crew.

Then we took part in a workshop where we were able to compare the clothes that Scott would have worn in the Antarctic to clothes that explorers would wear now.  This was great fun as we got to dress up!

After lunch, we looked around the visitor centre.  Some of us went into the theatre to watch a short film.  We had a brilliant day out.  A big thank you to all the staff at Discovery Point.
