Glenn Morris is leading an expedition on a 3,000 mile voyage through the North West Passage by kayak and dog sled. The journey will take three years to complete, and, as they travel, the team are finding out about how global warming is affecting the lives of the Inuit people who live there. Click the following link to listen to the BBC radio broadcast that Primary 7 pupils recorded about their interest and involvement in the project - Arctic Voice Radio Broadcast Primary 7 also produced a video for BBC School Report that featured news about the project.

 Julie did some filming of us for a TV programme they are making about the Arctic Voice project and recorded us kayaking and canoeing at Walliwall, as well as playing some 'Arctic' games we had invented. While they were here they helped us to create resources to send to our link school in Igloolik. |
