Antarctica - The Icy Land of Secrets
An exhibition...

Throughout 2008 ELC teachers and children have been actively involved in an inquiry arts-based learning project centred on Antarctica. This exhibition presents a range of 2D and 3D artistic and creative responses, which demonstrate not only a sophisticated understanding of life in Antarctica, but provide insight into the children's sensitivity to this unique part of the planet that requires ongoing protection and care.
