Pirates Ahoy! 

Class One had a very exciting start to the new year for the launch of our new topic, Explorers! The day started with a traditional class fashion show. We had a range of explorers in school including safari explorers, space explorers and not to mention lots of cheeky pirates! 

After playtime a clue arrived in our classroom, we followed the mystery messages which lead us around the world just like the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake. On our treasure hunt we discovered a ship called The Golden Hind, sparkly jewels from Peru and smelly spices from the Spice Islands. We brought the treasure back to our classroom to find out more information about Drake's voyage. 

In the afternoon, we looked closely at some artefacts that had been delivered to school. We used sketching pencils to sketch pictures of the Golden Hind model as well as an old ship's bell. We also, created our own treasure maps. To make the maps look old we used coffee to stain the paper and finished our work with an X to mark the spot where the treasure is hidden!
