We are learning all about co-ordinates, directions, NESW, position etc. Miss Edwards made a treasure hunt around the school. She gave us a map of the school and a set of co-ordinates. We had to locate the co-ordinate on the map and then go to that location to find a clue. We had 12 clues to find. At each co-ordinate there was a letter. We had to write the letters down. Once we had all 12 we came back to the classroom where we tried to work out what word all the letters made. The answer was, 'Charlie Small'. This is the name of the boy in the adventure story we are reading.
Earlier in the day we had been working on 'proper nouns' so when we saw the capital letters that would have given us a clue that we were looking for a name of a person or a place.
Although Waima and Neve got back to the class first it was Elin and Tauryn who worked out the word first. They won the treasure box.
Well done to all of room 20 - you did really well. You certainly got lots of exercise today. Did you enjoy it?
