Hello Team Holywood! I hope you are all doing well.
Today l did some reading on Epic. I read “ The Sisters Grimm, The Unusual Suspects”, and “ The Dark Lord Clementine”. I also made a snowflake out of beads and pipe cleaners. On Wednesday l learnt about two arctic explorers one of them was, Ann Bancroft and the other was Rosie Stancer. Here is some information about them.
Rosie Stancer
- Rosie has traveled to North Pole and the South Pole.
- Later on she tried to travel to the North Pole solo but failed.
- On one of her attempts she needed to amputate two of her toes to survive.
- Rosie is 61 years old now.
- Rosie was born in Scotland.
Ann Bancroft
- Ann was the first women to ski and dog sledge solo across the Arctic without refilling supplies once!
- She was born in the United States Of America.
- She is now 73 years old.
- Ann, like Rosie, traveled to the South Pole.
l also set up an arctic theme made out of Lego it was great fun. I liked learning about the arctic and can’t wait to do some more next week.
Oriana
These are great facts Ori, I think we tend to hear more about famous male explorers so it’s been really interesting reading about some women who have gone out adventuring too! Although I’m not sure I have what it takes – I don’t think I could cut a toe off!
Have a good weekend!
Thank you for recommending some books to read on EPIC. Hope you enjoyed them Ori. Great research on Rosie Stancer and Ann Bancroft – I really enjoyed reading these facts. Have a lovely weekend!
Hi Ori,
I am pleased you chose to research Ann Bancroft and Rosie Stancer because these are less well-known explorers, but their adventures were still exciting. Glad you are having fun learning about the Arctic. Those Lego sets are great! Have a good weekend.
The books you read on Epic sound interesting, Oriana and you have some great facts about your explorers – they sound like very interesting and inspirational women.
