On Thursday we had our Explorers day to mark the end of our Explorers topic. Some of us went to Miss Porter's class and some went to Mr Merchant's class. We started off by thinking about why people explore and what they may be looking for when they explore. Then we thought about what we should take with us when we go exploring and what the best things to wear would be.
After play we received a letter from Alfred Cook (Son of the great James Cook) who wanted to test our exploring abilities. He told us that he had left us some treasure but we needed to follow the clues to find it. Then he left us a list of objects that we had to find around the school. Miss Harris's group came first and Mr. Merchant and Mr Nelson's group joint second.
In the afternoon we did some role-play about an exploring adventure and then created a mindmap for everything that we could remember about exploring and explorers.
We had a great day.
Our topic next term is the Seaside so we are looking forward to that too!
Mr. Merchant
