Would you like to travel into the unkonwn?

In this fascinating topic we will become explorers and discover places like Space, the desert and The Amazon Rainforest.

We began our topic with the Mysterious Traveller by Mal Peet. As a class we explored a significant picture, discussed the traveller, where he might be going and why. Children were able to develop their speaking and listening skills and create a word bank.

The children were enthusastic from day one and the learning followed. We researched deserts around the world, listened to desert sounds, described animals we would find in the desert and wrote adventure stories. Our stories are amazing and you can read a small extract below.

As a class we will now begin to explore Space. Who knows where the journey will take us.
