Exceptional Explorers Competition – extended deadline!

We’ve extended our Exceptional Explorers competition deadline!

We understand that it’s been a busy term, with SATs and residential trips taking up a lot of teachers’ time. Resources are scarce, and finding the time for writing isn’t easy.

But, not to worry, we’re more than happy to reward your Exceptional Explorers into the next year, which is why we’re extending the competition deadline to Friday 16th September.

Take your pupils on an unmissable now>press>play adventure and invite them to recap their Experience in a written or visual piece of work. You can even set this as a task for the Summer holidays!

Think scrapbook, travel journal, diary entries… the possibilities are endless! Just have fun, be creative & explore.

What is the prize?

1st Prize – your work will be published in our Exceptional Explorers Scrapbook and you will receive a physical copy to show all your classmates, friends and family. Your teacher will receive a copy, too!

All entries – all participants will receive our brand new Exceptional Explorers badge.

Key dates:

Competition opens – 16th May

New deadline for entries – 16th September

Winners announced – 7th October
