Earlier last week, Class 2 arrived back in the classroom to discover a terrible crime scene!
Our pirate role play area had been completely trashed, the tuff tray had been tipped over, and there were sandy footprints and colourful feathers scattered across the classroom. Worst of all… our beloved class teddy, Bunny, had disappeared! 🐰💔
The children quickly became detectives, carefully searching for clues and discussing who might have been responsible. Together, we created a spider diagram to share our ideas and predictions. We had lots of fantastic suggestions, including the Grinch, a giant and, after spotting the clues left behind, a pirate with a colourful parrot!
The next day, we received a letter from the mystery visitor warning us that we needed to catch him before his ship set sail! The children then worked incredibly hard creating fantastic wanted posters to help track down the pirate. They carefully thought about what the pirate might look like and wrote sentences to describe him. 🏴☠️🦜
And thanks to their fantastic effort… it worked!
We received a very special video message from the pirate himself! 😱 He admitted to stealing our treasure and left us a series of clues to follow. After working together to read and solve the clues, we finally discovered Bunny hidden in the mud kitchen outside! 🎉
The children absolutely loved taking part in our pirate mystery and showed fantastic teamwork, imagination and problem-solving skills throughout the week. ⚓️🏴☠️✨
