For my end of term task we have to do 3 "solo maps" for how captain Scott and what his crew ate on the 1901-1904 south-pole expedition.

If anyone can help me it would be very appreciated!
(detail if you can please)

Google your keywords to find a number of sites that answer your question. Within 15 seconds I found sites that listed all the animals they took, all the supplies, all the food, and what they came back with and what they accomplished..

I used YOUR keywords. The third site that came up on the first page was the one with all the information. Yes, you too can do this.

Interesting expedition. They all died from lead poisoning. It was the advent of food packaged in tins; unfortunately the supplier in UK used too much lead in the tins. There was just recently another search for them, a UK/CDN venture. Managed to find the Endeavour, Scott's ship with new underwater technology.

This is your history lesson for today.

Wonder what happened to Scott's son in the UK?

This is interesting: "Scott brought a prefabricated wooden hut with him. The Discovery Hut was poorly insulated, and was never intended as permanent living quarters for the expedition. The hut is still in Antarctica today." (photo from Wikipedia)
