This week is 'Small Schools Week' and we are doing lots of exciting activities based on our whole school theme, Around the World.
Today we began our explorations by coming into school dressed as explorers! We used Google Earth to explore our school and our houses as well as looking at other countries some of us have been to, such as Spain, Italy and Croatia. We also looked at atlases, maps and the globe, made passports, binoculars and maps.
Then we chose a mode of transport and went off exploring! Some of us went by boat, or by plane, or by train - Luke decided to go exploring in a Ferrari! We discovered lots of things including tiger tracks, clues left by tigers and a ball that might have been nibbled by a tiger or a bear!! We also went exploring in the bark area where we climbed mountains, swung in trees like monkeys and crossed bridges over crocodile swamps!
We also had a special treat this morning - some strawberries and cream from Mrs Wilkinson to celebrate the start of Wimbledon!
This afternoon Mrs Wilkinson also very kindly invited us to visit her tennis courts and she taught us to play some tennis. It was a great adventure walking through the swishy swashy grass to her house and we really enjoyed learning some tennis. Harrison didn't miss a single ball when we were practising hitting the balls!
Thank you very much Mrs Wilkinson!
