Post from the Past

Each month, you will receive a letter from a different historical figure who has made an outstanding contribution to the world. This person could be a scientist, an author, an artist, or an inventor, to name a few. You will learn the STORIES of people from the past through a living method rather than memorising dates from a dry textbook.

An explorer, a leader, a statesman, a pioneer, an inventor, a scientist, a doctor, a naturalist, an author, an artist… A HERO, A HEROINE, A LEGEND.

Polar Pen Pal

Polar Pen Pal brings an exciting and engaging way for children of all ages to learn about and have a real connection with the Arctic!  Now your child can have the joy of having monthly mail ALL THE WAY FROM THE GREAT WHITE NORTH personally addressed to them, and inside they will delight to find a postcard that shares with them details of northern life and Inuit culture. With collectible stickers, northern treasures, and access to online Arctic resources to explore… they will soon have a deeper understanding and a personal connection with this far away, but very REAL place!
