Well despite the big plans we haven't got far with our polar project.
I've collected some links (I've added most to the side bar on the right), downloaded a polar explorer box theme thingy here from currclick and also downloaded a cardboard penguin for free from Canon Creative Park here to put together. (Dd actually requested a polar bear, but seeing as the polar bear is more complicated-looking and it's been down to me to put most of the penguin together so far, polar bear can wait.)
The kids have watched the first episode of Frozen Planet and our free poster has arrived. We now have several polar-themed posters up in the hall, replacing the milk and other company marketing board ones that were up while we were following Hugh Fearnley Whatshisface's book The River Cottage Family Cookbook.
We've started making fake fossils and I've bought some marine-themed paper for our decoupages. I promise photos of work in progress, just as soon as we get a table clear enough to get the tub of glue on.

You've done more then us. I must start the craft this week and actually put the posters up.
Our poster is up, and the projects are demolished. Somehow the subject has been hijacked to the owls of the Arctic by Madam, for whom everything in life comes back to owls atm. Monster, meanwhile, is linking it to the Top Gear Arctic special and how they adapted the cars, so my plans haven't quite gone the way I expected them to. (Nothing new there, but they did humour me by doing what I had planned first.)
I've just realised why I never put the poster up. I couldn't decide which pole to show. I really need two maps :)
Ruth, Fortunately we found we had two similar posters - one is now turned to the arctic and one to antarctica.
Anne - I'm sure I remember the Top Gear Arctic special...it was fab.(And very educational I'm sure ;) )
