In the month of September and October the pupils in J8 were exploring the topic Pirates. Our topic began with a letter from ‘Pirate Pete’ to say that he left his suitcase in our school. The pupils were very excited to go around the School grounds to find a large grey suitcase which contained a lot of pirate treasures.
During our topic we explored floating and sinking, talking about where in the world Pirates sailed their boats as well as using the Bee-Bot to explore direction. As a group we also completed STEM activities such as building a boat using.tin foil and using vinegar to dissolve the pirate rocks that contained gold coins.
Towards the end of our topic we had noticed that our gold coins were missing. We used a map to follow directions to find the hidden treasure chest.
We hope you enjoy looking at all the learning that has taken place during group and Activity Based Learning.
