Explorers!

This term we are all very excited because we are learning all about Explorers! We are also going to do some exploring of our own!

We started the topic by writing down everything that we already knew about explorers - what a lot we already knew!

Then we had to do some exploring of our own. We had to explore some unusual objects and try to guess what they were. One was a typewriter, one was a sieve, one was a compass, one was a religious vase and one was a pair of binoculars. We think we may be able to use some of these in our own exploration!

2M will visit Claybury Forest on Monday 17th and 2P on Tuesday 18th, where we will do some exploring of our own. Children should come to school in old clothes on this day with wellington boots and then bring clothes and to change into when we are back at school, as it will be very muddy over there.

Unfortunately I was off school ill on Thursday and Friday but heard that you all worked really hard so well done! I will hopefully be back on Monday.

Can you name any of these Explorers? Do you know what they explored?
