Welcome back! It has been wonderful to have the children back at school and we are so proud of how well they have settled back into school life. This week, to launch this term’s topic: Extraordinary Explorers, the children used craft materials to make treasure to put into our class treasure chest. They made gold coins, jewelled broaches and sliver necklaces. They then spent the rest of week making a map of the playground, where they hid pieces of the class treasure for a friend to find. They used their map and directional language to lead their friend to find the treasure. The children also spent the week looking at our new book for this term: How To Find Gold by Viviane Schwarz.  They described the main characters in the story as well as writing their own plan for how to find gold.
