hey guys, it’s just a quick hello today. yesterday we went around Trygghamna and spotted two reindeers and when back at the ship we saw a polar bear, he was amazing! don’t worry, i’m fine!

miss you guys all so much and i wish you were here with me to see the sun set, to feel the breeze to wake up in the morning to the sound of nothingness, the whole thing is just incredible! i was on night duty last night from 4:00 til 6:00 am, i was in charge of driving the ship, and luckily the ship didn’t sink.
am a great sailor now…haha!

hope you’re all well and if you have any questions please blog me, this place is awesome and i want to share it with you all as much as possible! i will blog more during the week so keep checking!

I’m really enjoying being with all the team, they’re all awseome & we all have a great laugh together. Yesterday was fab, T4 interviewed us & we’re going on T4 on the 4th November at 12 O’clock,really can’t wait…WOOH! It’s going to look really weird watching myself on T4…YEAH! After that the interviews they followed to Pizza Express and filmed Hayley, Akash, Shona, Jethro & Myself talking to Rick, the (HOT) T4 presenter,he’s great fun! It’s really great being here with everyone from Canada & Germany & it seems everyone has a really cool accent, except me. IT’S NOT FAIR! Suba seems to like my acccent and tries to recreate it in her own way, HILARIOUS!

I can’t wait to hear from you all so please blog me & ask me questions.

You can watch my second video by Wednesday 19th September at 11 O’clock.

I will be LIVE on blog at 11.30,straight after my video is posted.

Amy
Moorhead Sports College, Accrington, East Lancs, UK

Science Project
Amy wants to know which of the two – global warming; or global dimming – is having the most effect on the Arctic? She will collect data about the amount of pollutants, especially sulphates.

Art Project
Amy wants to create a drama piece on her return. She also plans to keep a diary whilst in the Arctic written from the point of view of a doll, (dressed in Arctic gear), who is effectively being taken for an adventure!
