Message from Mrs Powell
Good morning! This week, we are going to find out about amazing people who have done amazing things.
As you read the stories, just imagine what you will do when you are older… all these amazing people once sat in a classroom just like you!
Explorers
Freya Stark (1893-1993)
Stark went where few Europeans, especially women, had ever been before. A British explorer and writer, her travels led her into remote areas of Turkey and the Middle East. While living in Baghdad, she explored and mapped uncharted areas of the Islamic world. Hers were some of the first accurate maps of the region. She moved on foot, on donkeys, on camels and by car – camping along the way. Stark is the author of more than 24 travel books, covering local history, culture and tales of everyday life. In spite of age and illnesses, she never stopped travelling. In 1972 she was honoured as Dame Freya Stark! Wow!
What adventures would you go on? Why?
Best wishes from Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham & Mr Beswick and have a fabulous day!
