This week in Year 4, we took part in a reenactment of an interview with Ernest Shackleton, exploring his incredible adventure to Antarctica. We are really enjoying learning about his journey and reading all about it.

About Ernest Shackleton:

Ernest Henry Shackleton was born on February 15, 1874, in Kilkea, County Kildare, Ireland. He was the second of ten children in an Anglo-Irish family. At the age of six, his family moved to London, where he developed a passion for adventure and the sea. Shackleton attended Dulwich College from 1887 to 1890 before joining the merchant navy, gaining valuable seafaring experience.
